Spyder VS1

Kingman's Spyder VS series have taken paintball players - both veterans and newcomers to the game, by storm. And it's not really surprising why. It has the reliability and the simplicity that's within the classic Spyder design along with the different bells and whistles that the engineers behind these markers came up with. That holds true especially for the Spyder VS1!

By taking advantage of the lightweight Striker and the all-new Delrin Bolt Construction, the reciprocating weight of the Spyder VS1 has been dramatically reduced while increasing its stability especially during high rates of fire.

Being new to the game, my first games of paintball were played with rental paintball guns and markers. And as for anyone who has tried renting, I'm sure you would agree that these paintball guns and markers just don't cut it! The second time I used a rental gun, I felt really cheated as I did not enjoy my 4 hours playing time whatsoever.

That's when I decided to buy my own paintball marker even if I'm just a novice. And during my search, I found the Spyder VS1. Not knowing what makes a marker better than the other, I decided to grab this paintball marker from Kingman.

And from that day onwards, I never looked back! I'm always having a great time with the Spyder VS1! Even against more experienced players, I was able to hold my own and PLAY like I wanted to. Gone are the days that I don't enjoy even a bit when I'm playing paintball...thanks to the Spyder VS1.

When it comes to maintenance and cleaning, there's nothing more you could ask for. It's a breeze! All you have to do is take out the bolt, which is easy as pie, and then clean the chamber as well as the barrel...plug the bolt back in and you're all set!

Back then I was torn between getting a Spyder VS1 and a Spyder VS2. Well, the VS2 looked high maintenance and I'm just a casual player. So I went for the VS1...and I'm glad I did! Although Spyder VS2 was a great paintball marker overall, many were complaining about the rocking issues, and many said it took a lot of dough to get this fixed. I never had any problems with my Spyder VS1...it's very solid and I think it will serve me for a long time to come.
