First off, ask in the Kingman forum. Second...$414 is WAAYYYY too much. Imagines are like $120 and a ACS bold like like what? Less than $50. 20 oz c02 will work, but it'll be heavy. I suggest 12 oz or 16 oz.

And halos feed about 24, 25 balls per second. That way more than a Spyder needs.

... maybe thats why ur banned from the nation... a blowbakc cycle rate is at 44 last time i checked, you dont need to ramp to get 20bps, the rocker frame does 30, but you can average 15-17 easily.

Dude, just because the board can go that fast doesn't mean you can. I got 21 bps on a Spyder w/ bounce.

Nothing will go 30 lol. I wanna see you try.

i hate to inform you guys of this, but the blowback/sear tripping design is one of the fastest in existence for paintball markers. cycling rate increases with input pressure. with polished and/or lighter internals, you can get well over 50 cps on a spyder. you dont even need it to be electronic, just take out the sear, pull back the bolt, release, and it will fire full auto as fast as it can cycle untill you stop it, or run out of air.

does that make it worthy buying? no, not really. the main reason being that no hopper can feed paint reliably past about 28 bps (a qloader can feed mid 30s to low 40s, but im talking about the "traditional" hoppers here.) not to mention youre never going to hit anything, because the kick is so horrible. if youre going to spend over $200 on a gun, dont get a spyder. 'nuff said.

To be honest, I really don't understand why this rocking trigger would be any better than a really nice sensitive trigger... such as any trigger on any high end gun. You're still just walking it....

Rocking triggers are illegal in tournament play.

For the price of the Spyder you can get an Ion with real eyes with a real electropneumatic design. Who cares its capped at 17, you will not shoot past that in a game without having a seizure. With EP guns you have WAY LESS kick and you can control your shots so why do you need to shoot fast? You have a quieter gun that operates at a lower pressure. HEck.. Ions let your ramp to the top speed.

Think over this purchase carefully. Think also about the possible resale of the gun. New Electras have a hard time getting over 210USD here.

They might allow in some local tournaments, but even those usually follow the guidelines for national tournie rules, where a trigger can only have one microswitch; the rocking trigger has two. Unless they made an exception for it... but I think it's illegal.
