The "Spyder" line would be considered an autococker, correct?
I seem to recall reading a lot of posts from people having problems
with them leaking down the barrel, although a lot of them say they
fixed the problem with a better cup seal. (There was one brand that
everybody seemed to recommend - Lapco I think it was.)

Thanks for the info! I'll probably stick with the CO2 for now since
I probably won't get to play but a few times per year, and even then, I'm
more of a "one shot one kill" kinda guy than a "spray and pray'er". :-)
(Although that might change once I actually get a gun and discover how
innacurate they are - probably show up at next year's BBQ with a
GE Minigun knockoff.) ;-)
