    Figured out where this launcher came from and found a fun old PB site

    This was a fun little rabbit hole. Got this launcher from a member here but there wasn't much info on it. Got it today and noticeda sticker on the side. RPG Rusty's paintball gear. Com

    Site went down around the early 2000s but thanks to the Internet archive, here it is

      Very cool that you found the origin for this. When I saw it posted I googled around for a bit and came up empty handed.

      I see an @aol email address there. Have you tried emailing it yet? A bit of a long shot... but would be sweet if you got an answer.

              It's awesome you found the site. The old sites are so cool. Too bad there is no picture of the Spyder MP5, though I think I know what it looks like.

                  Did you see some of the prices for his stuff? The launcher seems reasonable at $165 but then there's stuff north of 2k as well, and that's an early 2000s 2k

                      Yes I did. These types of markers were priced high back then. I remember the VM M16 that was in the US Cavalry magazine being priced at $1000. The price gouging was probably there banking on Police and Military spendings.

                          I clicked on the link and was instantly transported back to high school where I did a slideshow on paintball and must have been on this website.

                              Do you know if you'll be able to use this at Supergame? No idea what their launcher rules are.
