    Does anyone remember the Hornet?

    I was kinda reminiscing about my beginning days of paintball & modding markers back in 2004(ish) and I recalled a custom Spyder build that installed a Dragun "The One" kit. It was called "The Hornet" and it was made out of a Spyder Flash. I found an old grainy vid called "Hornet V4" that I'd managed to save onto my backup drive back in 2012 but I really don't have any info about it. The Hornet is basically the inspiration for a few of my [currently unfinished] builds, and definitely the reason why I'd went out of my way to get a Dragun "The One" when one came up back in the late 00's/early 10's. It even came in it's original case!

    Does anyone remember this build and what sort of stats it had? Is the person who built it still active in paintball and are they on MCB? I'd really like to know more about the Hornet build and I'd like to see more pics & vids if anyone has any.

    edit:
    I was trying to do a screen grab of the marker from the vid but I it's like 480p (or even some resolution smaller than that) so I got nothing but a heavily pixelated blur. I really wanted to put a pic up. Sorry folks.

    edit 2:
    I don't know how I repeatedly missed it but after rewatching the vid I noticed that it says:
    LPR Pressure = 75psi
    Main Pressure = 300psi
    Dwell = 15ms
    950 shots - 68/3000psi MaxFlo

    I have the vaguest memory of this, but I remember a handful of mononym markers that crept around the internet back in the day I’m curious if anyone else will chime in

      I'm intrigued. Post the video.

      I seem to remember being peeved that a marker was named after an already named marker, the ACI Hornet. But it's too far back into vague to remember.

        Here's the vid. Resolution is actually 240p which explains the low quality.

          lmao at what stage is it no longer a spyder? Looks like only the Spyder bit is the body, which is also heavily modified.
          looks cool though.
          without eyes would make me nervous.

            The frame, fittings, and back ram cap look identical to Dragun's The One parts. I'd bet the farm they are the same. If that's the case, then there are eyes. They are found on the passenger side of the marker, the cover for them as well. The video does not show the passenger side.

              Wow I haven't thought about this in 20 years. I definitely wanted to pull off something similar. Ultimately I just bought an intimidator.
