We are having a mechanical tourney series at the local. 5 games, one each month from November-March. You must use a "stock" Spyder/clone, or Tippy. No RT's and no major performance upgrades such as LP, regs, new valves, etc.
I had picked up a Spyder Xtra a while back in trade for an I & I Punisher I was given for free. I had to replace the SS line, added the Dye frame I picked up for $5, and borrowed an All American barrel back from a friend who upgraded to an Empire Kit. I got the crappy looking Stickies on a marker I bought a while back and replaced them and never got around to throwing away. Got the Revi free from Brass Eagle or whoever it was that bought out Viewloader.
All in all I have $15 in the marker.
I had forgotten how unrefined a blowback is. In the first game of the series myself and another fellow using a mil-sim Tippy stood about 20 feet from each other shooting as fast as we could, unable to actually put a paintball on each other for a good 10 seconds....
...our team still managed to pull out 1st place by 5pts. It came down to eliminations.
Well anyway, here is a pic of my $15 Spyder.
