I recently bought a new spyder VS1. I think its a sick gun and no i don't think spyder is for noobs. But i want to know what a more experienced player thinks about the new vs1's??
Yes i know they're not the best guns. But i live about 3 hours away from the nearest nitro fill up so i had to find a gun that ran on co2. This was the best that i could find.

Must have pictures.

I don't think he was asking us to rate his marker, he put the thread in the wrong category. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

...new....VS...1's....? you mean you have a VS3? or you bought a new-boxed/used Spyder VS1??? If you were going to get a spyder I wouldve at least got a VS2.

I just bought a vs1. I was going to go with a smart parts epiphany but it only runs on nitro and where i live the closest fill up for that is 3 hours away. So i went with the VS1 because it seemed like the best gun on the market that ran on co2.

Ok here are some tips for kids who want to learn more about the game.

1:ROF.-How do I improve my rate of fire? Simple. Practice walking the trigger every once in a while and hold the gun the right way while practicing. Hold the gun you would to normally shoot, then start to walk in in the same position. Remember to Switch hands every once in a while

2:Opposite hand shooting.- This is mosty about comfort but if you want to learn the most likely way and what people consider the right way you should listen up. Hold your gun normal handed. Now switch to Opposite hand holding it the same way. Make it a a little more comfortable for yourself but not by changing a lot. Practice this A LOT and soon you'll pick it up very quickly.

3:How do I improve style?-You can Mostly Improve your style just by watching other good players play. Check out the pros on TV or on the internet to learn much more.

4:Speed.- Simply just being fit for running speed an training quick sprints going into slides/dives. Pretty easy if you're and active guy.

5: DRILLS.- Yes one of the biggest solutions to paintball sucess. Set up a bunker in your yard(you do not need a great bunker for this). Load up your hopper with some paintballs and add some air to your gun(you can save money if you buy reballs). Practice accuracy and speed coming out of the side of the bunker and switch sides along with hands every once in a while. Set out something small and raised to practice shooting at when coming out of the bunker. You should only be out of the bunker for about a second or less if someone is on you in a real game.Sliding and diving. Put on your paintball and go on some grass to practice on. WETTING THE GRASS WILL NOT HELP YOU as much because most field dont go out and wet there grass. Practice Slides and dives with gun,mask,pack on you.There is two very common and very helpful slides that most players use. First is the most common, knee slide. Basically like a baseball slide with out putting the leg out. When going to the slide put your hand out to balance yourself out. Second one would be a superman slide, or called just a "dive". Spread your free hand to the ground while making the transition to smoothen yourself out. Push off your hand to and slide on your stomach while lifting your feet and gun in the air. Swing your hand back in front of you and get up as fast as you can. This does take a while to master.

That's all for now but if I think of more I will post them right away.

If you want some tips on special positions, Just catch me up on AIM, email me, or send me a PM and ill get back to you.

Thanks,

Ok ill post up some individual position tips.

Front Player
To become a good front man you have to learn to stay alert know where all your opponents are when you have to move to look good for the crowd or your friends, you might bunker somebody. Help your teammates by firing through tha lanes not allowing the other team to move. Yell back at your teammates telling them where to shoot. AND ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR BACK PLAYERS. They should communicate the whole game. It is better to have the lightest high end gun for front. If you have the chance and the other team is low on players try and make a run through up the side of the field. Also when your moving shoot down the bunkers to keep everyone down in there bunkers.

Back Player
Scream and talk as much as possible. You should have a hoarse voice by the end of day. call out where all peeps are, call out dead men, move your front players like pawns. keep shooting paint. you control and see the field, you are the chessmaster. just keep shooting and talking, dont let any heads stay up. Just keep laying down the field with paint. Backs should shoot down lanes off the break while moving to there back stand up or whatever the bunker is that there moving too.

Playing Snakes
When you dive into a snake try and not let the other team see you. Press up to the snake as close as possible when you snap shoot.Try to get in unnoticed then shoot inside and take out alot of their players but if u do get noticed then ur basically a distraction allowing the rest of ur team to move up.

using the snakes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To me the snakes might be the most important tool to surprizing the other team. expecialy if you are playing with a bunch of new players. If you can always try to have one player in the beggining of the game to make a run for the snake.
if they see you and shot at you while ur at the end of the snake. Shot enough shots where the player will go behind the bunker then crawl as fast as you can to the other side of the snake, but always be alert.
If they dont see you then it is simple just crawl fast to the other side. And shot them up.

I have found that the biggest tip I ever got was. "Keep em in a cross fire, and MOST importantly, Dont get shot."

Friend of mines older bro told me that like 8 years ago when I was 12. I found the second one the most important

SOrry I dont have many tips, Ima woodsball player, And I usually just be real stealthy.

Bobd314

I don't see where anyone asked about how to improve their game, just how a VS1 is.

Anyway, imo the VS1 is an alright gun. How ever, for the price, I would of got a VS2 for like $30 more. I hate a feedneck where you have to add height to it just to get a hopper to fit, and the VS2 comes with one where you don't have to do that. Your also going to want to get a better barrel as Spyder barrels suck in my experience.

dude91333

haha ya i kno i kno the kid and i was just sending him this so he could read it

toolhead07

does the vs2 only run on nitrogen or can it run on co2 too?

silencetrigger2

i'm pretty sure the vs2 is made for nitro. you might be able to use co2 in it but i doubt its good for it if you have the possibility to run it on co2.

toolhead07

so would it actually damage the marker or is it just more efficient?

dude91333

im pretty sure it would damage the marker

silencetrigger2

guns that say that "they can run on co2 or nitro" its usually not very good for the gun when you run them on co2. If you buy a vs2 i'd use nitro. if you don't there's a possiblity the co2 could slowly eat away at some of the internals of the gun. and that causes leaks in hard places and stuff.

thanks for the guide dude i can run pretty fast cuz i was 2nd in all of ontario track and field> any ways i wud rate ur vs1 pretty good i actually prefer a vs1 over ion no flamming as my first gun i would prefer. How much was ur vs1 all together with hopper and co2 tank

Harasen5353

I think the VS1 is a pretty good gun i am thinkin of gettin that gun myself.
Does anyone think that is a high end marker?
Cause i read dude91333's guide and out of those im a front player.
I havent played on any real fields just on my friends woodsball field.
Does anyone know how much fps that gun can get up to?

i have fired many guns in my years of paintball. I am still an autococker fan for life... however. I recently got my wife a VS1 as her first gun and i was blown away! They are plenty fast reliable and can run fine off of CO2 or compressed air. I think that they are awesome guns. last but not least they are light guns as well. so if you need to hit the gym or are playing with your wife check it out... you will not be sorry

bustanut456

I just orded a VS1 and it looks like a great gun, it has eyes to, it shoots at 20 balls a second. I need to get a eletric hopper and barrel and a new clamp thing.

Yo to the guy who made this thread you should of got a spyder RS because it runs on CO2 and is like a VS2 with some upgrades it costs like $199.99.
