Hi, new to the forums and new to paintball. I have a issue i have a spyder gun and my paint balls dont go down through the feeder, i have to manually push it with my finger on the side hole for the ball to fall in place in the receiver.Ive been told to get a electric hopper i was thinking about the empire. And i dont know exactly how it works, i have a feeling that all the balls will jam even with the new elec hopper. I dont understand why its like this.

So you have a gravity feed hopper, and the balls get jammed above the feedneck?

If thats the case, then yes get an electronic hopper. Why? Becuase an Agigtating(like the empire reloader) will unjam the balls. For your gun, I'd recomend either a Empire reloader or a Revi(12v revolution).

Yeah I would get a Revvy which is a Viewloader Revolution...They don't feed that fast but they work.

[Bubbahotep]

go for the empire loader, that should solve ur problems.

I think what he's saying is he has a angled feed neck like the spyder compact. The balls a getting stuck there and he has to push them through the opening in the feedneck. What kind of paint are u using? Maybe try sanding the inside of the feedneck. If you are going to get a new hopper you will want a force feed hopper halo/reloader b to push it by.

yes i do have a angled feed neck and i do push them from the opening in the feedneck.

[BushmasterMAN]

i have a compact too...its my old gun and i never had that problem...

[Nsupra]

well i dont have a compact, i have the Spyder Special edition

[BushmasterMAN]

ooooo,well the feed is angled like the compact

[Nsupra]

yup it is. Also there is this little knob that u can twist on the outside of the feed neck, can that be the problem

[a_fat_man]

no the knob isnt the problem. There is a chance the where the opening in the neck is it may be dented. If you have a wooden dowell that is the sive of a paintball, take the plug out and tap the dowell through to straighten it out if it is dented.
