VS1 decent or trash?

[iamthelazerviking]

Worth using or should it be avoided?

From what I understand, the whole Vs series is worth it as the post Kingman (Kee/GI) Spyders are concerned. I've been thinking of one myself but would like a final work on those that own them.

I see that double trigger and I assume it's awful to try and rip more than a standard spyder eframe. The vs2 frame is bouncy and super fast. Vs3 had the weird rocking trigger that ive still been wanting to try. They also had the rs and rsx models but idk what those did different. The vs models all had a delrin bolt (acs?) and i think a different valve called the EKO. They had a weird asa that was also the regulator that you added and removed shims to change output. I think the vs1 may be the one model that doesn't have any of that. Idk

I had a rocking triggered Spyder recently and was excited to try it. The excitement didn’t last too long. It was awkward to shoot fast. Best results were basically rubbing my finger up and down really fast to activate the two trigger points.

Remember the VS1 shares almost nothing in common with the VS2/3. Those other VS series guns used their special balanced valve and had HPR's where the VS1 is pretty much a Spyder Pilot in a different body, with eyes. Only the boards are compatible among the VS guns.

I'd put a new feedneck on it, run a 9.6v battery, and an 800psi tank on it and call it good.

THIS! I knew Kevin would bring it. TIL: I didn't know that the VS1 was different from the 2 and 3.

They actually look sexy. Better than the VS2/3 in my opinion.

they do have the look and youre not missing anything with the rocking trigger.
the VS1 has standard internals, no reg, and is nothing special. BUT it does have eyes (iirc)
i say, keep it alive and use it.

the VS2/3 has the balance valve and the VS3 has the rocking trigger.

the VS2 trigger is "ok" but there is a lot of slop side to side.

the RS/RSX is like the VS2 with a better board and better reg. The RS/RSX use the standard fore grip reg rather than the ASA mini reg like the VS2/3.

To echo others, rocking trigger is a gimmick and not useful at all.
