Is this a good starter set up? and a question.

[cheese1026]

I got a:

Spyder Xtra
14 inch custom parts barrel
a box of JT Maxim II Paint Orange 2000
20 oz CO2 tank
JT Proteus Goggles
Regular 5 dollar hopper


My question(s) are:

1. is my paint a good brand? will they break a lot?
2. Where on a spyder xtra does a regulator go and what is its main purpose?
3. Will my regular 'ol hopper be good if I don't play competitively? I only play with friends and sometimes at my local arena.
4. Where can I get anti syphoning done and how much does it cost?

Thank you to WHOEVER answers!

JT maxim.... if i remember its like $30-40 online. I used that when i just started out. Its ok paint, but there are much better. If it works in your barrel and doesnt chop and is accurate, go for it. It worked pretty good in my stock barrel.

a reg will make your gun more consistent, meaning more consistent shot grouping. A reg would go into the VA(vertical adapter) right in front of the trigger, like a foregrip.

if you dont play that often, it will serve you well. I bought an agitating hpper b/ i was sick of having to shake my gun and my hopper sucked. You will want to eventually. If you fire decently fast, you might want to look into it. If not just remember to shake, and dont pull off long stings of shots.

your local shop will more than likely be able to a/s you tank
