he VS Series has taken an unprecedented step forward in paintball marker performance while still maintaining the simplicity and reliability of the classic Spyder design. By using a lightweight Striker and an all new Delrin bolt construction, Spyder engineers reduced the reciprocating weight of the VS Series marker internals which increased the stability of the marker during high rates of fire. Equipped standard with a paintball detection system, the VS Series Infra-red break beam eyes check the breach for a paintball before allowing the marker to fire. This system eliminates the chances of "chopping" paintballs. Spyder technology now allows the new VS1 paintball marker to function at high rates of fire using either CO2 or Compressed Air.
Features:
* Light weight bonded polymer grip frame
* Multi-modes of operation (semi-auto eyes on, semi-auto eyes off, and 3 burst)
* Tournament lock
* Rate of fire up to 20 bps
* Push button membrane selector switch
* Break beam eye ball detection system
* Pull-pin top cocking knob
* Quick access delrin bolt
* Dual rubber ball detents
* 10" muzzle break barrel
* No-slip wrap around grip
* 3-way adjustable two finger trigger
* Vertical inline expansion chamber
* Compatible with CO2 or Compressed Air

Review:
Ok this is no high end marker but it is a good entry level gun. If you are looking to buy your first electronic marker this would be a good choice. Also, if you need a backup this will be a good gun for that purpose. I wouldnt take this to a tournament ever. If your looking for a good inexpensive tournament i would go with a dangerous power g3 or a mini.
Conclusion:
Ok rec or backup gun

This gun is great! For its price, it really does well! With the stock barrel, it has pretty decent accuracy. It comes with a fast trigger too. The only MANDATORY UPGRADE is the feed neck. You might want a better barrel, maybe a better board, and if you use CO2, like me, upgrade to air. Those upgrades you can do later on, they arn't something you have to do right away. Also, if you play speedball, get a better hopper.
Conclusion:
All in all, this is a GREAT gun for its price. It's also good for beginners and novice players. So if you want a gun and want to start getting into this sport, buy this gun!
(10/10 because it's best for the guns in its price range!!)
