I just got this Spyder Shutter gun and since i got it it has had frost come out the end. Because it's it's to cold. It has had a ball break in the barrel. And a ball get jammed in the elbow but it came down with a shake. I changed the elbow so now it should work. Is this ok or is it bad. I plan on going paintballin saturday so is it going to be ok.

do u know how to take ur marker apart? I suggest doing this, then run a squege through the top chamber. This should solve any probs caused by the break in the chamber.

The frost is acutally ur co2, it is either very cold, or u are shooting fast for it, since it is a liquid in the tank, and must become a gas sometimes it will not expand fast enough causing the coldness and frost. U will have to get used to that. Maybe u would want a 6stage expansion chamber?

i do not know how to take it apart i am only 11, Plus i am only a beginner.

It is around 25 degreese outside. Is that to cold

**spydershutter68** · December 29th, 01:50 AM

Plus i already have an expansion chamber for it.

**bobide** · December 29th, 01:51 AM

oh hell yes tahts to cold for co2. Ok see co2 is liquid in the co2 canister like i said. When u shoot the gun it goes through the hoses and body. This gives it a chance to expand into a gas. Now the colder it is outside the harder it is for co2 to expand since it needs thermal energy to do it. Also w/ it cold outside co2 has a very low possible pressure (in room temps co2 can create about 850psi when expanded) and since the pressure is to low, ur gun will not shot right.

Understand so far?

that expansion chamber is only a single stage. A 6 stage expansion chamber is better b/c it forces the co2 into gas form, instead of the single, which only lets it expand. Most decent 6stagers cost like $30.

**spydershutter68** · December 29th, 01:54 AM

Ok so my gun is ok it is just to cold to be shooting outside.

I am going paintballin on saturday at northside indoors so will it be ok then.

**bobide** · December 29th, 01:57 AM

yep. Try to learn how to take it apart, get a shop guy to show u, then u can clean the interior which will help accuracy by getting rid of old paint junk.

**spydershutter68** · December 29th, 02:00 AM

3 Questions

1. Where do i get the stage 6 chamber.

2. It will be okay.

3. Is that the cheapest one.

being 11 doesnt mattter, just take apart your gun, and use the manuel for help, and u can get an expansion chamber at any paiintball website and proshop

**spydershutter68** · December 29th, 11:17 AM

my gun didn't come with a manual. When i got it for x-mas there was nothing in the box but the gun and stuff.

**spydershutter68** · December 29th, 11:23 AM

does it have to be a stage 6 spyder expansion chamber. Or can it be anyone

**spydershutter68** · December 29th, 11:27 AM

Also i just have to unscrew the old chamber take it off and put on a new one or do i have to buy new hoses and fittings or it.

**Error** · December 29th, 11:39 AM

Just unscrew the old one and put a new one on. 6 stage would be the best choice.

**spydershutter68** · December 29th, 12:05 PM

so i have to unscrew it from the adapter and unscrew it from the thing i put the co2 in. Then i buy a new chamber with a hose on it.

**Error** · December 29th, 12:54 PM

no you can take off what you have there now without taking anything else off. Then when you get the new expansion chamber thats all you need no new hose or anything else.

**spydershutter68** · December 29th, 01:18 PM

Ok You've been a big help thanks. Aslo does it matter what kind of chamber, like does it have to be a spyder

**bobide** · December 29th, 03:34 PM

No, the brand does not matter. I think 32*(*=degrees) makes some ok ones. U will simply unscrew the front grip thing (which is ur expansion chamber) also take off the co2 adapter. Disconnect the hose from the expansion chamber, then screw it on the new chamber. Screw chamber onto gun, and reattach the rest.
