in a lower spending range, the revvy is a good choice for a gun like that. a reloader is a bit overkill, plus a revvy is cheaper. they are even cheaper if u got a buddy that sold u a used one, like me

revvy if you intend to keep the spyder for a long time, egg2 if you may upgrade

gotta agree w/ what everyone is saying. Just don't buy a rhino or quantum, ur gravity hopper is just as fast.

revy is same as a reloader pretty much.. Only difference is the reloader has sound activiation, which is much better. Also has a lot stronger shells than a revy, and feeds a tad bit faster. Can also find them for cheaper than a revy at some places, imo reloader > revy

i had a reloader, it was okay but it was all old and it only fed like 9 bps. reloaders are beter than revvy's though cause theyre sound activated

i thought the force of gravity was only 13 bps? how does a non-force-fed loader go faster than 13 bps? mehbeh im just wrong about the 13bps part.

edit: that also makes me wonder why VL claims the egg II can feed 19bps. the last i heard, it was just a really expensive agitating hopper, did they rip off oddysey/empire and put in a force fed system?

huh? The egg is a force feed because in order to get a ball through the feedneck the motor must spin, Let me say it in simpliar terms.
Balls go in hopper
You turn hopper on
Hopper turns impeller (spinny thing)
Impeller forcefeeds balls
you shoot gun
gun shoot ball

yeah, that means it isn't force fed. force fed means there is actually some kind of pressure forcing the paintballs into the gun other than gravity. the only force fed loaders right now are the halo b, empire reloader b, and q-loader. these force fed systems allow for insane rates of fire.... unlike an egg.
