For more than two years we have looked for ways to create a paintball marker that captures all the elements of this sport�s futures including looks, rate of fire, efficiency, and feel. We have achieved these goals and will bring to market the NEW VS Series markers, built with 3G technology including a patent pending low pressure, high performance Balance Valve. The Spyder VS2 with Infiniti Trigger and Spyder VS3 with Rocking Trigger will utilize this 3G technology Balance Valve, making the marker operational at 200psi while maintaining incredible speed and ultimate comfort.
Looking for ways to evolve the Spyder product line, the VS Series paintball markers will include features like Break Beam Eyes, Electronic functions with a dual touch switch, a mini C/A regulator with on/off dial, a vertical adapter with low pressure gauge, a 12� two piece micro ported barrel, a low rise adjustable feed neck, and a Delrin bolt with lock cocking knob. The Spyder VS2 will come standard with the VS Infiniti Trigger providing a fluid feel to the marker with a 25 shot per second firing rate. The VS3 will come standard with a VS Rocking Trigger allowing up to 30 shots per second with two contact points for a maximum rate of fire. Both markers will maintain a sleek all Aluminum body style allowing the user to feel connected to the speed, and accuracy of the VS Series.
Knowing that all paintball players are unique, we have created custom dust finish color Body Kits to individualize your VS marker. The custom five piece Body Kits will come available in Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue and will include eye covers, feed neck, low pressure chamber, rubber fore grip, and a striker plug. Also available is the Spyder 14� two piece Aero twist barrel with optional color tips to enhance the look, and accuracy of the VS marker.
The fluid all Aluminum VS Series receiver design protects the internal 3G technology patent pending Balance Valve that allows the marker to operate at 200psi. While keeping state of the art design in mind, we have developed this custom valve that can attribute to the speed, and �never before experienced� feeling you get while shooting the VS Series markers. The 3G technology also incorporates a lightweight striker, softer springs, and an increase in chamber capacity enhancing the low pressure functionality of the VS marker.
Product Availability
The Kingman Spyder VS2 is newer, so it should be commonly available, both new and used.

Review:
I got my VS2 a few months ago, and instantly loved it. The main features that made me choose this gun over an Ion are, the nice stock upgrades(2 piece barrel, on/off, and adjustable feed neck), the intimidating looks, and the fact that a lot less people have them. I didn't like the limited modes on the board, just semi and 3 round burst, but for many players, that it fine. Also, after i had played with my VS2 a few times, the feed neck came loose, and the front grip and regulator started to move around. But those two things can be fixed with some lock tight, or a few upgrades.
Conclusion:
If you want an inexpensive gun, that can rip, go with a Spyder VS2. It can easily compete with many other guns out on the field. I give it a 9 because of the lack of modes, and the feed neck coming loose.
Used a old compact spyder, Piranha Eforce SRT, a tippman 98 custom ACT,a Angel 1, and a wrath.
Marker Setup:
I use my Spyder VS 2 with stock except for a PMI Razor barrel
Recommended Upgrades:
This marker is just fantastic the way it is. It is just a tad bit difficult to walk but you get used to the wave trigger. but besides the trigger and the regulator and goofing around with the color scheme than that is about it.
Strengths:
Comfort, simplicity, and mechanics
Weaknesses:
I would have to say the trigger
Review:
This gun is great, it has a low end marker price with high end qualities. if you ask me the kingman is really ripping themselves off at the price they are selling this marker for. it is a dream to shoot and you can guarantee you wont chop even when eyes are off. I feel it has the firing capacity of an an Angel and the durability of a tippman. The low pressure system is great and it is consistent with every shoot. I really have come to enjoy shooting this marker and probably wont upgrade for a long time.
Conclusion:
I highly suggest getting this marker, i feel and from basic stats that this gun out preforms the wrath, the margin is small but it still takes the win in performance.

None so far
Review:
What can i say, this is the best gun i ever used. It is very fast even do i cant walk the trigger like the pros. Inever chopped a ball in about 4 cases of paint i ran thru it even with the eyes off. Very quiet especially with my jj barrel. The price is another big plus i got mines off of ebay brand new for $162 including shipping.
Conclusion:
Buy this gun!!!! Especially if your just starting off in paintball because it does well in all types of play. Its tough enough to play in the woods and very fast in speed ball tourneys.
A better barrel but stock is very good to, a new regulator.
Strengths:
pretty light, good stock board, good barrel, the q lock is great, Very nice trigger.
Weaknesses:
Regulator is a must for this marker.
Review:
This marker has surprised me very much. Compared to the smart parts ion I would get this. Even though i love smart parts markers this gun shots more consistent and faster than the ion does. People say the ion is better because you can get more upgrades are out with it but the gun already comes stock with a q lock and a great trigger. The ion right of the bat you have to get a new trigger and feed neck.
Conclusion:
I would rate this marker a 9 out of 10 because of the great parts that come stock and the all around look off the marker.
Stock Spyder Vs2 with Infinity Trigger
10 inch Apex Barrel
Evolution 3 with Z board
48 cu. inch Air Tank with Nxe cover.
Recommended Upgrades:
It isnt nessecary, but you may want to get a differnt barrel. The 2 peice stock is actually a decent barrel, but if you are a competitive player you may want to upgrade. Also you will want a Hopper that can feed over 20 balls per second to keep up with the fast fire rate of the Vs2.
Strengths:
On off dial
Feedneck
stock reg capable of 200 psi
Eyes
Infinity Trigger
Weaknesses:
Look below.
Review:
First id like to talk about the Infinity trigger, which is fully customizable to however you want it to be. It has to be one of the best triggers out there today. The on off dial is a great addition to the gun, being able to save as much air as possible in between fills is great.
The only problems i have with this gun, are the front grip/reg likes to move around on you and sometimes if your not carefull it can slip off. I hate having to twist it back into place while im in the middle of a heavy fire fight. Also and this may be just my Marker itself, but the milling is slightly off, and on one side the Detent gets chopped off everytime. So i can only use 1 detent. Also for some reason, and this may be my fault, but, i took it apart, and put it back together and now im running near 300 psi, where i was at 240. I also would have liked to see it more in the Vs3 color themes.
Conclusion:
Other than that, i would recommend this gun to anyone. Its easy to maintain, clean, and is very durable, very fast, and sleek looking. After buying a good hopper to go with it, youll be fraggin fools in no time!

Speed
simple eye on/off

The velocity is around +or - one
Weaknesses:
Regulator takes a lot of breaking in
Eyes cap ROF

Review:
I actually like this gun better than my friend's Angel A-4. So far the only trouble is that I forgot to empty my line, then I turned the air back on and i broke a regulator O-ring. I am a slow shooter but the trigger on this gun lets you literally tap the side of the trigger and you will be shooting. I also noticed that when u start to rip it feels like the gun is capped, I think this is do the the fact that the eyes are set too high (i think).
Conclusion:
I would buy this gun if you are not a serious tournament player. It has great speed and it is easy to handle.

Weaknesses:
Feed neck, shooting modes
Review:
i took the gun into rec ball today and used it for the first time in a game, it was worth every penny and every penny i am gonna put into it. I bought the my ultralite barrel for $95 and it made a huge difference for me...the worst thing i saw on the gun was the feed neck it loosened as i played and i went to move and it fell off...theres nothing worse then losing all ur ammo when ur being shot at with someone capable of around 30bps...the gun all in all is a nice gun...it did wha i wanted it to do for the most part...
Conclusion:
If u want a good gun for the price this is the one for u...
I got the VS2 when I moved from rec ball to playing speedball tourneys. I used a Spyder Rodeo for rec balling, and since that gun never failed me, I decided to get the VS2. Since I'm in Ecuador, it took a while for my marker to get here, so I used a friend's Ion during those months. He was trying to convince me that the Ion was the way to go.
I read the reviews of the VS2 here, but I didn't have any problems.
When you take the marker out of the box, the foregrip and the ASA are lose, but it doesn't take much to tighten everything up.
I did what was recommended in some of the reviews, to run the marker at 250 psi or so for the first cases of paint. It now operates consistently at 200 psi.
I listed the stock barrel as a strength, because it's the most accurate stock barrel I have tried. I also recommend upgrading the barrel, especially if you want to play as a back, it will extend your range.
Having used the plastic feednecks on my Rodeo, and the Ion's feedneck, I really appreciate the tightening feedneck on the VS2.
The adjustable trigger is awesome, I can easily fire as fast as my loader can feed the marker and I have yet to chop a ball. The buttons are far easier to use wearing gloves, compared to the Ion.
The ASA works great, it makes it easy to connect and remove the air tank. One tip: don't turn the knob all the way off until it tightens, it pinches the o-ring and you will have air leaks around the knob. It's an easy fix though, a replacement o-ring is in the parts kit that comes with the marker.
Now to the major weakness, the lack of firing modes. It hasn't been a real problem to me, but if you have a faster loader, you'll have to upgrade the board so you can get the most out of your loader.
I admit the marker itself is a bit heavier than the Ion, but I don't consider it a weakness, since my fully loaded marker weighs the same as a friend's fully loaded Bob Long Timmy with a carbon fiber tank.
Conclusion:
This is a reliable all-around marker, I give it a 9 because the lack of firing modes, which is the only thing that bothers me about the marker.
Im so glad that Kingman came up with a marker that doesn't really need much upgrading. When i first shot it i was really impressed. I love how light the marker really is, it really reminds me of an Ion. I played at a friends house with the vs2 and didn't chop paint all day and it was so accurate for it being a stock barrel. One of my friends was looking for a new marker and almost picked up a Ion until he tested my vs2 and is ordering one with a blue body kit. Overall the vs2 is great marker to play speed-ball and is capable of shooting like higher end markers. Its a really great marker if you really want speed and satisfaction.
Conclusion:
I say if your looking for a great marker to keep up with a high end one, then get a Spyder vs2. It's worth for how cheap they are and give you what you need in a Paintball gun.
Its pretty good stock but all that you could really want is new grips and a better barrel even though its a decent stock barrel.
Strengths:
Fast
Good Trigger
Pretty Light
Not Complicated
Weaknesses:
Grips
Mine had leaks
Review:
I picked up my VS2 and it took about 2 weeks to get it working fully, there were actually two leaks in my gun it was quite annoying and I was losing about 200 shots per fill but I got those fixed.
I find this marker pretty simple to use which is a plus for beginners. The trigger on this gun is pretty good, I had to adjust it a little further away from the frame because it was hard to pull accurately.
Its good looking and not to heavy which is nice, this is a much higher quality than most spyders for a better price than the dyes and angles.
The grips are OK, without gloves my hand hurt the next day, so get gloves...
Conclusion:
Good marker, good price, if you have an extra 200 get a Dye proto rail.
