Season 2 will air on Tuesday afternoons at 4:30 pm each week in all time zones. In addition to the 18 pro teams’ preliminary and final games, the show will also capture a Pro Skills Challenge and NPPL All-Star Game which will take place on Center Court in Jacksonville Friday, May 16th. Fans may vote for the player they want to compete in the NPPL All-Star Game by visiting our myspace page at www.myspace.com/npplpaintball

Sponsors for this year’s season of Xtreme Paintball are still being locked in with many already on board. We would like to thank Spyder, KEE, Rockstar and the US Marines for their commitment to the show. As sponsors continue to sign on, the storyline for the show continues to develop with new featured teams being added weekly.

Tippman Cyclone mounted to Spyder MR1 Paintball Gun


Q: Has anyone mounted a Tippman Cyclone hopper to a Spyder MR1 paintball gun? I was the lowest profile hopper I can get mounted.

A1: Cyclone with an Tippmann X-7 paintball gun hopper is lower profile, but it makes up for it by moving everything to the right. Less height, more width. A trade off I suppose.

It's also possible to put a cyclone on a US-5 or one of them new Tippy U.S. Army markers, but they are internally very similar. Putting one on an Spider MR1 paintball gun would require a lot of modding, and probably won't work anyway.

I would look into finding good pics of a warp feeded paintball marker before you buy one. They do odd things to the weight and shape of your paintball marker, and I believe make it very difficult to shoot off handed.

A2: You might want to look into the Qloader then. It can be mounted directly under the barrel, vertically at your foregrip, you could probably even mount it on your stock (not that you would want to) it is just that versatile. The warp feed brings the hopper off the top, but just repositions to the side. Which is great if it is your bunker side, but a lot of profile if it happens to be your non-bunker side.

I would practice tilting your hopper in. By tilting you paintball marker at the wrist (PLEASE don't stick your elbow out) you can bring the hopper behind the bunker, rather than leaving it exposed. Granted, this doesn't work as well over top of bunkers, but I find I shoot from the side a lot more than I shoot over the top.

The 2008 Spyder Electra with Eye and Spyder Pilot with Eye


Spyder is ready to launch the highly anticipated all new generation Spyder paintball markers

The design team at Spyder has shifted in to high gear for their latest paintball Classic Series E-Marker creations, the Spyder Electra paintball marker with EYE and Spyder Pilot paintball marker with EYE. The new sleek body styles account for a 25% lighter, and 15% shorter profile from predecessor Spyder paintball markers. Once setting eyes on these new models you’ll soon realize that Spyder has stepped up the game, all while keeping the paintball player’s budget in mind.

Both paintball markers are standard equipped with the fast and reliable LEAP Circuit Board, specifically designed by Tadao Technologies. The new rear facing Color Access Mode Display (CAMD) shows the mode you are using, EYE status, and Battery status. Each paintball marker features the new 3-way adjustable magnetic response “Saber” trigger, Aluminum EYE covers, and can run on either CO2 or Compressed Air. It appears Spyder has listened to their loyal fans when making the new Electra paintball marker with EYE and Pilot paintball marker with EYE compatible with a standard 9v alkaline battery, or Spyder 9.6v Rechargeable battery for optimum performance.

“You’ll have to hold one to feel the difference. These new markers are a big advancement for Spyder.” says, Jason Donaldson VP of Marketing for Spyder. He adds, “Paintball players deserve a high quality, feature packed product at a reasonable price. The new Electra with EYE and Pilot with EYE provide just that.”

Spyder Fenix ACS Parts and Upgrades

Q: I'm new to paintball and i got a new Spyder Fenix ACS paintball gun with an Empire Reloader 2, and just a pure energy 20 oz co2 tank. I ordered a spyder pilot acs paintball gun and they sent this by mistake (oh well, i looked it up and its more expensive so im not sending it back) and i dont have a very high budget cuz i have to work for my money and i need to know some upgrades that are good but not too expensive.

A: Spyder Fenix ACS Paintball Gun is nicer, and harder to find for sure.

I would get a barrel and a nice feedneck (if you have problems with whatever the stock feedneck is), and possibly look into a trigger if you don't like yours. The thing is that even with a new trigger you won't be able to walk the gun fast because the microswitch is so heavy (250 grams), but you can replace that with a 50 gram switch that would make it much easier.

Beyond that I wouldn't upgrade anything. If you plan on getting a higher-end paintball gun later on then you'll eventually need HPA (sometimes known as nitro), which is always a good upgrade to get for any paintball gun. But don't worry about that yet, co2 is fine.
