So the guy who was the treasurer of our paintball club before me bought a bunch of Paradox Markers (they are spyder clones) because they were cheap. They haven't even lasted a year, everything breaks on them... Any one know what kind of detents they take? It is not the old school spyder two screw plate detents. The genius who bought these also threw away the manuals. Any help is appreciated.

The only ball detent threads I can think of are cocker, angel, ICD, and Impulse (which are VERY close to angel).....not that this really helped.

I find myself wondering why you would attempt to fix them if they have been so unreliable? -
Duct tape detents? Don't sound like they'd be worth putting much more into...Comment

In my experience, Paradox's have been awesome markers, especially considering the price. If I recall, they take angel detents.

The ones we got are terrible. When cleaning, if we remove the powerfeed plugs, about a quarter of them break off in the powerfeed. Also, when we first took them out of the box, 20 of them had the hammer and the internals put in backwards and not secured to the marker. They were just thrown together it seemed like.Originally posted by LomarandilComment

Hmm, that's odd... we had two of our team start on them, never went down, and still running like champs 3 years later.

I know that if I had purchased them new, and they came out of the box that way I would have returned them immediately.Comment

We took over from a group of guys that hadn't made the best decisions for the club. These markers were all in boxes sitting in the back of our workshop. I'm not really sure even when they were purchased. All I know is their supposed rationale was that they were only 45 dollars a pop, so why not get them? I have no idea where they came from, when they bought them or what. They didn't leave me any receipts.Originally posted by punkncatComment
