: : : I just bought a Spyder E-99 and a Ricochet AK Hopper. What kind of elbow do I need to get a good fit. Also, any recommendations on a barrel. I know the Freak system is good but I don't have the cash,anything cheaper? Any other upgrade recommendations would be helpful. : : : Thanks for the help. : : I'd recommend an adjustable elbow, like a VL or 32 degrees elbow. As for a barrel, how many different paints do you use? If you use only one or two paints, a freak will be a waste. If you shoot more than that, it would be a wise investment. I'd recommend a Smart Parts All American barrel. Quiet, lightweight, all around good barrel. Hope that helps. Hellrazor out. : Listen to Hellrazor, he's the man. He knows his stuff. I only have two things to add to that. How low of a profile do you want? You can take a ring clamp and put the neck of the hopper directly on the feed on the marker. Still works well and reduces your profile with a lower hopper. Only disadvantage with this is high rates of fire. You don't have as many balls stacked in the feed tube so long bursts of high rates of fire will end up in a chop. Lastly, If you only shoot one or two paints, you can still get a Freak Jr. Front and back pieces and two inserts. like 80 bucks cheaper. then you just buy the inserts when you switch paint. I recommend the AA tip.
