A break-beam eye is not necessary on a paintball gun, however it is highly recommended; There was a time when break-beam eyes did not exist, and players were often victims of "chops" or "barrel breaks," the advent of motorized feeders (hoppers) saw a great increase in these broken balls damaging accuracy and sometimes causing complete failure of a marker in-game. Todays popularity of the use of eyes to reduce these breaks almost requires a player to use an anti-chop system of some type to remain competitive, the best of which would be the break-beam eye.

What is EYE on spyder paintball guns?

the eye is not specific to a spyder....it is in all decent guns. it is a infra-red light that is in the chamber where the paintball is ready to fire, it senses when it's beam has been broken and it only allows the gun to shoot when the ball is all the way in the gun...this makes chopping paintballs a thing of the past.
