Ok I shot it this morning, and here's my thoughts :
Precision
No as precise as the VS2. The stock barrel is correct, but not more.
Feeling
Easy to shoot, eyes are working well. I tried it with my Vlocity Jr without any problems. It shoot like other spyders, comparable to a Pilot ACS. However the stock trigger of the VS1 feels much more comfy compared to the pilot, IMO. Also the stock feedneck require a straight elbow, which isn't that great. An upgrade will be required there in the future.
This thing kick like any other spyders (Pilot, Xtra, Sonix). It is not low pressure, so it have more recoil than VS2-VS3. Also it is louder than VS2-3, like normal spyders.
Speed
The stock board is capped to 20bps : no one can shoot that constantly. But in some bursts, you can get it and do faster. I noticed that this morning. On my VS2 I had never the impression of outshooting the marker, but I have this impression sometimes on the VS1. When I do some fast burst shot, the balls got out very constantly, which means I got the capped on the board. Not a big deal, because it's still pretty fast though.
To conclude
The VS1 is a great marker for the bucks. If you can't affort HPA, then it is THE choice. It is fast, light, easy to use and have eyes. Even if it's louder than VS2-3 and have more kick, it is comparable to any other HP blowbacks (Tippmanns, Spyder classic series, Pirahnas, etc.) It makes a great backup marker in my case (always in case I cannot use my HPA tank), and should be the top choice for any beginners.
Pluses :
-Fast
-Easy to use
-Reliable
-Eyes
-Pretty light (2.4 lbs wo/ barrel, hopper and tank)
Minus :
-Stock barrel could be better
-Hose position
-More kick and louder than VS2-3 (but still very comparable to any tippmanns or spyders classic series).
-Stock feedneck.
Compared to a VS2, this deserve a 8/10.
In that range of price, deserve a 9.5/10
Feel free to ask if you have any questions.
