Meh, you can do perfectly fine without that screw... it fell out of my friend's E99 a while back and he hasn't had any problems... you just have to chrono the gun to 280-90 and never adjust it.

dont u have to have that in order to play in tourneys. and stuff.

Dunno honestly, never done it... it's possible. The NPPL Rulebook says:

"Markers with any form of external velocity adjusters must be
modified in such a way that the velocity adjuster is not readily accessible during the course of the game."

Not sure if having that screw in counts as not readily accessable, or if it has to be modified in some other way...

bout how much does a co2 refill cost.

[clickclicksplat]

anywhere from $2-$5 for a 20oz, depends on where you get it filled. If you play at an established field, most include all-day air with your entry fee.

If you're gonna be playing in tournaments, I'd sugest getting a new screw altogether that requires an allen wrench to adjust it. Just a thumb-screw in the right threads. Requires only a trip down to the hardware store with your existing adjuster and getting a screw there that has the same threading.

this one did require an allen wrench screw to turn it. but im goin to get some co2 and paintballs. so i ttyl

The lock screw does, the velocity adjuster itself doesn't.

im gettin the evo 3 hopper. next week. i have to babysit my little sister. but hey moneys money. no matter where it comes from. and then i told my parents to get me an HPA tank and a DYE 14" Ultralite barrel and DYE STICKIEZ for my b-day . and thats all im doin to my gun.

Sounds like a good plan! The stock one is a thumb adjuster.... lol... What I mean is taking that out and replacing it with a thumb screw, like the ones on the older Spyders.
