Pugsters VS1 review

[pugster]

I purchased the Vs1 about three months ago, i must say, i wasn't as happy as i thought i would be.

Cons-
-does not have the low pressure system unlike the VS2 and 3
-stock nine inch barrel shoots curveballs
-not very many aftermarket parts, i think this is the spyder with the least of them.
-in mine there was a defective valve that had to be replaced after the fifth use.
-lots of kick
-not very good on air usage
-not very ergonomic, i like the feel of my dads 80$ mokal fokus better.
-expensive in canada, 185$
-does not have full auto
-trigger has side to side wobble

Pros-
-has eyes
-easy to take apart and reassemble
-shoots farely fast on semi, i clocked 14 bps once
-looks ok

As you can see the cons outweigh the pros, if your thinking of getting this gun don't, go for a vs2, pilot acs or ion.
My digital camera is out of commision right now, may be pics later.

Thanks for the review Pugster. I don't know much about the VS1 but I always figured it was just like the VS2 except for a few cosmetics and trigger frame. I didn't know there was that much of a difference.

[pugster]

yeah, there is not low pressure system so it defeats the purpose(?) of the Vs2 and 3.

the VS1 is a regular spyder but with eyes
you should of compared it to another regular spyder like the pilot, xtra, etc

[newkid]

I agree 118917

[Hossy]

yeah man, you also could of researched them better IMO
but you get what you pay for, and 118917 i agree with you

[pugster]

My friend has a pilot ACS, i am comparing it to the pilot, at the bottom of my review i say you would be better off getting a pilot. also, why would i compare it to the xtra or any other mech spyder when it costs alot more then one. the ion, vs2, and pilot or more in its price range.

[118917]

because it is a regular spyder
it doesn''t have the balance valve like a vs2 becasue it was made for the ppl that don't have the option of geting hpa
thats why you should compare it to a regular ol' spyder
by comparing it to an vs2 or ion you are of course going to think it's a pos
but if you put it next to any of the other regular spyders you see that it is top of the line since it has eyes

I dont think the balance valve is the non co2 compatible thing in a vs2. Methinks its the reg.
