Hey guys, Im getting a spyder VS3 soon and I wanted to know a little about it like its pros and cons. I swear if anyone says "This gun is crap" or "VS3 sucks" get out of my damn thread.

***martix_agent*** · March 5th, 06:19 PM

It was a bad choice. get a VS2 instead. the rocking frame is a worthless, overpriced thing to have. Noobs buy it thinking it's better when it's really not.

TheAznInvazn · March 5th, 06:57 PM

I'd try to get a VS2 frame off of someone real soon, because the rocking trigger teaches bad form, and doesn't increase your rof at all.

Why do you think that the people that played at the Spyder Cup used VS2's instead of VS3's if the VS3 is better? It's because the VS3 is a merketing gimick.

Besides the rocking trigger though, you need HPA, as it supposedly only works off of it, even though it's still a valve and hammer operated gun. I'd still get the HPA for the consistancy though.

But I have heard about C02 problems with the VS2. Also I think I might get the VS1 because I found a good deal on fleabay for one for like $189 with Electronic hopper, 20oz C02, mask, etc...

TheAznInvazn · March 5th, 09:40 PM

Action Village has a much better deal

Remanufactured for $94

**resurrection** · March 5th, 09:48 PM

you should have just got the vs1 man.

but if you havent already ordered the vs3 then may i show you a link

Kingman VS3 Marker/ Tadao Board/ VS2 Gripframe Combo at Paintball-Online.com

that is a good deal IMO you basically get the trigger and the board for dirt cheap

nice find

**resurrection** · March 5th, 09:53 PM

thanks

im gun shoppin too but i still gotta wait a while money is tight right now or i would have that on the way

NOYFB · March 9th, 03:45 PM

If I were you I would check out the Dangerous Power Fusion, an 07 not an 08. you can pick one up for a little over $200. Go to pbnation and read some reviews.

carcrazycorey · March 12th, 05:33 PM

ok guys, Its either the VS1 or the VS3 that ressurection posted. BTW do you solder the board in? Its no problem if you do since I work with RC cars and solder all the time. Also I would end up swaping the frames anyways for the VS2 because the rocking trigger is gay.

***martix_agent*** · March 12th, 05:45 PM

no you unplug the connector and plug it in the new board.
I strongly suggest that you get the VS1

carcrazycorey · March 13th, 03:29 PM

Whats so special about the VS1? If I want one but I want to know why you think it is so good. I plan on getting one of these If I get one: Spyder VS1 Eyes Paintball Marker Gun SNIPER SET - Black - eBay (item 130205397284 end time Mar-18-08 14:03:17 PDT) I like Sniping plus I would get like a Stifi 16"er or this: Spyder VS1 EYE Paintball Gun Combo w/ Electronic Hopper - eBay (item 130205113125 end time Mar-17-08 12:14:45 PDT)

Probably the one with electro hopper because It fits my budget better and Ill probably do speedball more. I really want the Black one, or if not the blue because my friend is getting the olive one. God I went to walmart and they want $150 for the VS1 when you can get like one on ebay for $100 shipped.

***martix_agent*** · March 13th, 03:39 PM

it's great because it's a TON better than any of the older spyders, much more smooth, the problems most of the older ones had have been taken care of and it has eyes. On top of a good price and teh ability to use it with co2 it's a great buy.

carcrazycorey · March 14th, 05:07 PM

ok Im getting the VS1. Although I found a N2 tank for pretty cheap I could use with the VS3 but I don't know where I would get it filled. But yea, the VS1 is a bad gun! Oh, and just a quick question. What exactly are those credits? I thought I had positive before...

The VS1 is hardly a bad gun... please enlighten me, what makes it suck?

carcrazycorey · March 19th, 05:47 PM

TheAznInvazn · March 19th, 06:13 PM

ah, now this is a classic example of expression lost over the internet >.<

Have a great time with your VS1

carcrazycorey · March 27th, 06:10 AM

Spyder VS1-$150
Tadao Board-$45 shipped
68ci/3000psi Nitro/HPA tank-$63 shipped
Halo B Hopper-$90 shipped
J&J 14 or 16 inch Ceramic barrel-$40 shipped

Total: $388

**kenny_1491** · March 27th, 11:53 AM

It is perfectly fine, but if you are getting HPA I highly suggest you get a vs2, loads better trigger frame/trigger. Has a clamping feedneck and an on/off as well.

carcrazycorey · April 4th, 05:22 PM

ok guys I just got my VS1, I'll be making another thread soon so watch for it. I paid $150 for it at walmart. Now I just got to get some Paint and air. Its charging right now. Also, When I installed the battery there is four little wires going to the board that are in the way so I tucked them underneath the battery, is that ok? there seems to be a little gap between the frame and grip, pics coming soon. Is this normal?
