1st off no one really is going to dis your marker unless you dis it first. And if they do thats just low. But everyone has to start somewhere. i started off with a spyder xtra. i liked it but jsut wanted a faster gun. But if you like the sypders than go for it. Umm. and for the upgrades...i would go to www.pbreview.com and see what they got there for recommended upgrades for the VS2.

I've heard some pretty good stuff about Kingman's VS2. Looks quite impressive and is a new change from their past markers. Also it being at a very affordable price compared to their past markers that were close to the VS2 & VS3 in features.

Been wanting to check one out and see what it can do but so far no one locally owns one to my knowledge. Might have to take an uncharted dive into buying one for myself without knowing how it shoots. Knew I should of shot one at World Cup when I had the chance.

I think that's a good plan. You can always use the halo b and tank on another gun later on. I don't really know anything about the pack, but you can always check out the reviews at pbreview as snake said.

I guess I wouldn't recommend any upgrades specific to that gun, unless of course, you don't really want to ever get a better gun. Not saying that the vs2 is a total piece or anything, but.. you know. confused

IMHO Stay away from the Kingman line. Sorry, but allt he experience I've had with them, they rarely worked, and if they were working, I'd spend too much time putting them back together after each game... of course, how i play, I'm running, diving, pop sliding, etc. This may have had something to do with it. I actually had to screw in every screw on teh gun before each game, allen keys became my best friend and because of those guns, I can now name the size of most allen keys on sight. lol. Anyways, if you want to buy a VS2, go on and upgrade the marker to a tourney level marker or an Ion...

Save a rock, throw an Ion.


lol.

Get an Empire Reloader or a B2, not a Halo. Halo's jam a lot in my opinion. I can't tell you how many times I've played with a Halo and the balls jam it so I have to stick my fingers down into it and swivel it around. Also, the Rip Drive on it breaks off really easily. The Empire is sound activated, much much better. I use the Empire B2 and it is beautiful.

Stay away from the VLocity's.

No, not a reloader, if they have anything but new batteries, they get temperamental. buy a pulse.

everything sounds good to me, but my sugestion would be to buy an ion insted of the VS2. it proforms much better than the VS2 will and is about the same price. the loader and tank sound fine to me but i'd recomend that the tank be High Pressure insted. you cant use LP tanks on some guns and that gets to be a paint if your marker goes down for any reason. your getting a REALLY big pack, why would you want 11 pods? if you do shoot that much you must be quite the spender.

thx everyone/ my thing is w/ the vs2 i save money. i'm considering the ion but for me i'd have to buy mods w/ it and that way to much. i'm a wwekend player for now and if imma dump that much money into it then i'd like it to be fast already. the vs2 stock is 25bps and the ion is 17bps.

with the legal limit at feilds being only 15, i dont think thats really that big of a deal.

... Listen to pimpstaalex, he knows what hes saying... for the most part. Anyways, the Ion is a much better gun, and the Spyder will only do twenty five on semi IF you can pull the trigger that fast which i can say now that you can't. The ion, I can do 17-20 with a new trigger so really the only necessary upgrade is going to be a trigger and a feedneck. look on ebay, they have some pretty nice packages there. Ion>any spyder and... I'm an ion hater...

i really dont think that there are any "nessisary" upgrades for the ion. the trigger and the feedneck were the last 2 things i did on mine. i'd say buy a new board right off the bat. the stock/blackhearts are just plain trash IMO. then go with an ASA and a reg. the stock ASA is really long and doesnt have an ON/OFF. the reg is cheap. buy a hyperII/torpedo/CP. they will help you keep consisttant velocity even in high ROF's. but i doo agree, ion>any spyder. (although if i was going to get a spyder it would be the VS2)

Umm I wouldnt get an Ion. Everyone i know that has an ion has been have air leak problems and the eyes arnt reading right. Up in Montana its the ion or the Promaster for cheap speedball gats. And i have a promaster and the only problem i had with it is when i first got it and the bolt got stuck so i lubed it up and its been great to me ever since.

thx. here's what i'm going to do. i'm going to get an ion w/ a 68 ci tank and a halo B w/ rip drive. then later on i'll get the vs2. where i'm buying them the ion and the vs2 are the same price.
