Heh, I thought you had become one of those depressed people who seem to just want to blame their problems on their Spyder(s)... ;) Anyways, that's hella cool! Get an electronic grip frame and you can RIP!!! :D

Dude, that rules. It'll speed up your feed rate. But you already know that. As for my Shutter, well, it's a great gun but in this case, it blows.

That's pretty cool.. but is your bolt moving at all when ur firing? in the video it doesn't seem to even move.....

Yup, its moving. Its just that camera is only recording at ~20fps and the bolt goes back and forth so fast it looks like its not moving.

whats is it doing?

Its sucking in a tissue. This is a common test to see if a paintball marker has slight blowback or some suckage. (blowback=bad suckage=good) The problem with blowback is it can launch p-balls up the feedtube (especially with vert feed) when it is low on p-balls thus causing mis-fires/skips. This is especially important when using high rats of fire (AKA Electro frame) I first thought about trying this after I read about cocker owners attempting to time their cockers to create suction, testing it via the tissue method.

and how did you attach that file so that i could up load it?

My isp (@home) gives me up to 50mb of web space. I just uploaded it to that and linked the video via the link button.

Is that normal bro?>

I guess we'll find out when you try it.;)
