·About 10 or 11 years ago i bought a spyder compact, which i used for about 3 months and when I moved I lost it. I almost immediately replaced it with an autococker but got bored of paintball in 2002 and sold everything. About 4 months ago and while moving again i found the spyder in some boxes that hadn't been opened from the first move, in near mint condition. I've played a few games and it works well (no jams, no sphere breakage, get a decent 280 fps), but it's slow, extremely noisy, chugs CO2 like crazy, and is just plain awkward with the tank attached in front of the trigger like that (don't me started on the one-finger trigger).
My buddies tell me that gun is "a great classic" and that i should give it a little love with some upgrades if i'm going to use it occasionally.
I was never big on upgrades, most i've ever done was to buy the cocker a new barrel before i sold it, so I don't quite know where to start.
So, questions for the connoisseurs,
Does this gun deserve the status of "great classic"?,
Can this gun be adapted with an e-frame? and,
What other specific upgrades could this gun get?
I'm having a hard time finding good references for the proper mods to get this thing, i'm guessing it's because it's so old.
Thanks a lot
EDIT: don't have a pic of the gun yet, but it's identical to this one http://www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/Pines/4840/compact1.gif
