How to Adjust the Spyder Xtra's Velocity

The Spyder Xtra is a paintball gun manufactured by Spyder. Like all other paintball guns, it is essential to be able to change the velocity when needed. The velocity of a paintball gun refers to the speed at which the paintball is fired from the gun. A velocity that is too high could break the paintball inside of the gun or cause injuries to other paintball players. Too low of a velocity will reduce the performance of the paintball gun. Adjusting the velocity is simple and will only take a few minutes.

Instructions

    • 1

      Locate the velocity adjuster on the back of the Spyder Xtra paintball gun. It is circular in shape and has an indentation for an Allen wrench in the middle.

    • 2

      Insert the Allen wrench that was provided by the manufacturer of the paintball gun and twist the wrench clockwise to increase the velocity of the paintball gun. A higher velocity results in a higher feet-per-second speed when the paintball is fired from the gun.

    • 3

      Insert the Allen wrench and twist counterclockwise to lower the velocity of the paintball gun. A lower velocity results in a lower feet-per-second speed when the paintball is fired from the gun.
