Is the VS2 a good gun?
What do you guys think about the VS2? Does it work off of Anti-siphoned CO2, or does it need HPA? Also, how does it stack up against the PMI EVO? Here are links to the stats: (BTW, disregard the price, I'm going to buy used off of ebay or here)

Dick's Sporting Goods - Kingman Spyder VS2 Electronic Paintball Marker (VS2)

PMI Piranha E-Force EVO Gun Metal - Discount Paintball : Paintball Loaders, Tanks, Marker Guns, Paintballs, Paintball Gear - DiscountPaintball.com (EVO)

The VS2 is just like any other spyder, it will run off CO2 quite well.

Spyder>piranha anyday. If youre lookin for a gun, get the vs2 out of those 2. I think they work off of co2, im pretty sure all spyders do.

I think it is beter then the average spyder, given it has a better trigger, feedneck, it has eyes, and actually feels ok in my hands.

Yeah, I'd say its a good starter gun. It can take CO2, I read the manuel online. It is pretty good I'd say, but they try to make it like Daziak said, "an Ion Killer". With the body kits and the eyes and all that. But yeah, i'd say it's a good buy for it's price.

that is a good question, one that only people who have used both guns would know.

Hey, i PMd you.

The spyder has an on/off, good trigger, and eyes along with good quality and a good company behind them. The VS series was built to be spyders tourny style gun. One of their main selling points was that it has a lower operating pressure, which makes it easier on paint. Overall the VS2 is a great gun for a great price.

Hm, well in a recent review of the VS3 (same internals as VS2, just has a rocking trigger) they used straight CO2 on it. So i geuss straight CO2 will work with the VS2.

Lol, o love all the info included in your last post, D*15.
