what do you guys think about the spyder e-99?
would it be suitable for this application?

(i have a friend who would sell me his for cheap *a good friend of mine that don't care much lol*) i noticed their not cheap so i guess its a good gun

also talked to some people and they said an ion might not be bad, but i slapped it off i don't like ion for some reason

The e-99 fine. Just a bit longer since the beaver tail and bold stick out the back a bit.

seesoe · January 7th, 09:51 PM

hmmm ya its frame setup seems a little to solid for me

we'll see how cheap i can get it from him

The ion is over complicated for this application. Probably would be a more compact installation, but it's going to require more expensive gear, be more prone to jamming, and will need to be serviced regularly by taking it out and apart. The spyder you can dribble some oil in an airline. The ion would make a more sleek installation but would be a bit to complex for what you want.

so he offered me today the e99, and a 20oz tank for just about all brand new.

do yall think its a a good start on the turret with this gun and price?

TheAznInvazn · January 8th, 10:09 PM

The 20 oz (since it's used) shouldn't be any more than $20 MAX!!! You can get some new for $20.

The gun, maybe... under $100. Shouldn't be any more than that.

***martix_agent*** · January 8th, 10:14 PM

I'd say no more than $90 for it all

seesoe · January 8th, 11:12 PM

80 for all, tank gun hopper charger, done deal gonna get the gun on Thursday, he bought the gun for 270 with all sort of stuff, but he hardly used it and its laying around and he wants some cash.

whats the deal with the anti-siphon tube?

***martix_agent*** · January 8th, 11:31 PM

helps in cold weather. It's a nice thing to have.

seesoe · January 8th, 11:34 PM

mmmmm ok cool, thanks

***martix_agent*** · January 8th, 11:52 PM

I'll elaborate. I see you still have a confused look on your face..

the anti-siphon tube is inside the tank and is what the contents of the tank are drawn from. The tube points up , drawing in co2 gas rather than co2 liquid. If liquid gets in your marker, velotity can spike long with possible o-rings blowing out. If enough of it gets in, your entire marker can freeze up.

ooo i c now, nailed it right on. ya i live in Florida im not gonna need it.

***martix_agent*** · January 8th, 11:58 PM

it's not just something you can remove

It won't hinder anything though and you'll still benefit from it. Just know that you can't mount the tank anything but horizontal with the tube pointed up; if you do it'll start sucking up pure liquid co2(there should be a line or some sort of marking that lets you know what side of the tank the tube is pointed towards)

**txaggie08** · January 8th, 11:59 PM

It could be removed by a paintball shop(it can at home as well, but I don't advocate trying it by yourself the first couple of times...)

seesoe · January 10th, 05:43 PM

ok cool

well i got the e99 from my friend today, hopper, gun, 500 balls, charger...... for 80 bucks

i took the e-grip off and put the gun aside, and i hooked the board up to my relay board i have for my computer, and i was able to fire the gun and turn it on and off via the internet. so i need to derive a gymble type thing to move it left right up down next

***martix_agent*** · January 10th, 07:07 PM

glad to see it's working for you. running it over the internet is a new way of looking at it as far as I know.

TheAznInvazn · January 10th, 08:14 PM

Once it's done, you must make a vid of it and show it to us!!!

This is way too cool

ShotgunNinja · January 10th, 09:34 PM

i used an e99 with a revi for a few years, and it still chopped alot. what rof you looking for in a turret? i supose it doesnt need to be that high at all, though.

seesoe · January 11th, 04:50 AM

what do you mean by rof?

and when you say it still chopped a lot do you mean how smoothly it moved up down left right? this will take play on what type of controlling system and motors i go with, if i go with the full relays only then it wont move to smooth, unless i get a servo or a stepper motor then it should move nicely.
