Vibe or Spyder Vs1 paintball gun?

Q: Hey i'm looking for a first Paintball gun to get into paintball. I dont want an ion cus i dont wanna spend like 163$ plus like 20-30$ for a new feedneck on a gun. Paintball****** on youtube said he doesnt like kingman but likes the Sp vibe. But the spyder vs1 paintball gun is the same price on actionvillage and it shoots way faster. Please tell me what to get. Smart Parts Vibe or Kingman Spyder Vs1 paintball gun.

A1: first off the spyder vs1 paintball gun has a higher rof that doesnt mean it shoots faster on semi, which is pretty much the only mode you'll be using. the vibe is much more durabel than a vs1 paintball marker and i'm pretty sure its a good bit lighter. def. go with the vibe. its also got many upgrade options, but doesnt require as many as a vs1 would

A2: I've owned 2 vs2s and currently own the vibe. The vibe doesnt come with an aftermarket board and has no vision.

from what i see it depends on the amount of cash in your pocket, if you got the $360 dollars to spend upgrading the spyder vs2 paintball gun to perform good with a cp air combo (reg adapter, asa, and reg) and a tadao board go ahead, the air combo is a must because the stock asa/reg is garbage. and the board only has semi and three shot, and most people use ramping for tournaments.

But the vibe is extremely light, reliable, runs on a/s co2 or hpa and is an amazing starter gun. Best one in its price range, only problem is the max rate of fire.

It's alot about whatever catches YOUR eye, how comfotable it sits in your hand, and how much money you have. I dont play anymore so i have the vibe just for some recball, sometimes speedball

A3: i used to have the spyder vs1 paintball marker and i sold it and got a vibe. the vs1 will cost you more, and has the horrible feed-neck. my vibe is still ok in speED AT 11 bps booom thunder close but the vs1 will need new parts and the vibe has a clamping fn and more.

Spyder Pilot ACS problem (paintball gun not firing/cycling)

"Today I went outside to shoot with my Spyder Pilot ACS paintball gun I managed a pod and a half before I started experiencing problems. The problem was that the paintball gun wasn't cycling. I've had a problem before where I could fire a few shots and it would go to SEMI with Safety on, but now the paintball gun doesn't change to semi/safety on. Instead when I pull on the trigger, the paintball gun makes a clicking sound (different from when the gun is fired uncocked) and the bolt doesn't go forward. I also use 9Vs because I lost the one that it came with, and a new 9.6V battery I bought doesn't work correctly when I air up the paintball gun."

"It sounds like your board is damaged...try another 9.6 volt, and if that doesn't work, you probably need a new board."

"it could be due to the fact that u used 9v and damaged the board to begin with. "

"are the 9v's new and are you using a good brand? Is the 9.6v fully charged and not overcharged?
have you tried to shim the noid, when i used 9v's i put a quarter behind the noid and it worked fine, but when i switched to the 9.6v the striker wouldn't catch the sear every time so i took it out and now it shoots fine. "

New to paintball- need help paintball gun

"I'm new to the paintballing. I really dont know much about paintball guns or equipment (I'm transitioning from airsoft guns), but I was looking to buy a solid beginner paintball gun. I've been told spyder and tipman are good. I have a medium price range and looking for something with good speed and accuracy. Also any advice on paintball masks, air systems, or barrells would be great thanks. Oh ya, what is a good FPS for an airsoft gun?"

"A Vibe or SP1 would be a good starter paintball gun. They offer some of the best features and brings EP (electro pneumatic) operating design at a very low cost. However though it's kinda hard to make a suggestion without knowing like your exact budget, if you'll be using CO2 or HPA, and what style playing you be doing (i.e. woodsball or speedball)."

"Spyder vs1 paintball gun ($140) is an awesome starter paintball gun. Also for a mask check out the proto switch EL($30) and the empire vents helix ($30). Air systems try and get HPA, but if you can't afford an hpa tank co2 will get the job done."

"If you are a woodsball player get a tippmann 98 custom because it offers good upgrades for that paintball gun.
But if you don't play woodsball go with a Smart Parts Ion which costs like $200 but if you don't have enough money go with Smart Parts Vibe which is like $140. For the Smart Parts ion you don't really need any upgrades, my friend has only stock and his gun owns. And get either a Jt Proflex or Events goggles."

"Eh Tippmann paintball guns have more looks accessories then actual upgrades. And of the few upgrades it has not many are actually worth getting and won't make the paintball gun worth the money. Ions are $165 now and even though they don't need upgrades out of the box a lot of the stock parts are horrid."
