i bought a new smart parts linear 14" barrel for my spyder the other day. i went out and played a game yesterday and was stalking this guy, crawling on my belly, being carfull to keep my new barrel out of the dirt. got into a good position and went to shoot this guy and i got about 10 shots off before my gun jamed, i re cocked and fired about 3 more shots and it broke a ball coming out the barrel and jamed again, so i re-cocked and shot and it jamed right away. i was starting to get flanked so i beat feet out of there into some good cover where i could try to fix my marker. i took the barrel off and looked down it and there was a 1/8th inch of dirt lining the walls of the barrel all the way down, i looked into the reciever and there wass dirt all back in my reciever and even in the inside of the bolt. i called my self out and walked off the field to disassemble my marker. the only way i can posibly consieve that all this dirt got into my barrel is on my initial 10 or so shots my barrel was a few inches above the dirt, im thinking as the ball passed the porting the preshure behond the ball was released and kicked up dirt and the ball created a vacume behind it that it then sucked alot of that dirt back in throuch the portings, has anybody else ever heard of anything like this or seen it before?

Yeah, Those Are my BALLZ on your face!!! MWAH

hey man i'm in beaufort- you emailed me a few times. i run the Little Girls team. think i still have a 32 degreez 14" whisper barrel if you are interested in trying a new barrel right away just to compare.
personally i've had nothing but bad experience with spyders anyway... frequent gun jams etc. my a5 has a flatline, and i just won a hammerhead for my phantom... never had a problem with either of these markers or barrels.

maybe the bore was a little too small

sound to me the Bore was too small. Did you shoot N2 or Co2??
maybe a pressure increase because of the Heat???

I agree with this, I think that's most likely the problem. Or it could be a mixture of that, along with not-so-good paint that's different sizes and inconsistant.

Bore to small, velocity to high/low, bad paint?

heat isnt the greatest most of the time ive had 1 good case of heat. i would say the velocity was up or something. did you clean it all out and try it again not near dirt?
