How far we've come... funny!

[pntbalmatt]

I was looking at paintballtimes.com today and came across an old review of the original angel. The most amusing aspect of the article was the responses by players... this one stuck out.


Angel - NEGATIVE!!!!!!...
By billy bob joe

THIS GUN SUCKS!!! I WOULD PREFER A SPYDER!!! most people say it is the best ever because it costs so much okay for the good part, it looks good. thats about it, maybe that and it has fair range, nothing that an autococker or mag can't do. and also the ball detend is right in your way of sniping, so just forget about trying to pick off people. you would think that since it has all this computer stuff and all inside it that they would move the ****ing detent out of your view of sight. this gun sucks.

yah our sport has come along way and im hoping to do my part by being a ref who only gets 5.15 and hour but oh well its a pretty good job.

[jabbster]

The original angel was very nice... Ohh well billy bob was prolly drunk and doing his sister. I also get $5.15 and hour as a ref but would not change the job for anything. Our sport has made leaps and bounds in recent years. From woods to x-ball the change is huge. And I am proud to part of this great sport and what it has become.

Sincerely,

The jabbster

[SD-Speed]

Well billy bob joe sorry to say but Angels were never made for sniping.

[thog94]

Ignorance is bliss, I wonder how his spyder is shooting these days. I hope he doesn't review the Speed because they put the detent on the right side this time, they just forgot to remove the other one!

[Emmit]

that's almost like reading any review on PBreview.....read the part where it talks about similiar markers....you've got guys trying to review Angels and their "similiar marker" is a Mag, or a Cocker or in some cases it's a Spyder.....I'm sorry but when did any of these become similiar? One of the worst sites I've ever found for informed reviews on products.

[idirtryder13]

I bet Billy Bob owns a tricked out Angel right now, taking back what he said, hes probably never shot one.

[cody11scrappy]

You guys get paid to ref!? I only get a sponsorship

[jabbster]

Ya, I get paid. But not much though... I think reffing is fun though... Learn new stuff every time I do it.

Sincerely,

The jabbster

[cody11scrappy]

yeah, i like reffing whenever i cant play, cuz it still feels like im in the game

[bacon bitz]

I ref for free, but only when i run out of paint for the day..........

[cody11scrappy]

yeah

[paintballguy990]

:) i get paid 5.50/hr. but also sometimes 13 hour days reffing games for kiddies that like to shoot me :(

[captncrunch]

shoot back, lol, sometimes if a newb keeps shooting the ref, I let them borrow my gun and shoot them, in an inconspicious manner of course...

:blasting: :watchout:

[Jedrith]

Jeez this "Billy Bob" Guy thinks a feed neck is a detent.

[bacon bitz]

I think hes actually talking about the bullet detents that stick way out from the body, but yeah hes stupid so i wouldn't be amazed if he also thought the feedneck was a detent.

[cody11scrappy]

who in the heck snipes with an angel anyway

[kylelynch]

LOL who snipes at all, LOL b/c u can't. I would love to be able too, i wouldn't use up all my paint then LOL

[bacon bitz]

lol :dito:

Noobs don't shoot down the barrel, they aim over the top.

[cody11scrappy]

do noobs even aim at all?

[Vantage_TeS]

haha
they would like to think they do, but when it comes down to it they just hide and stick their gun over the top :tongue:

[JTp8ntballer12]

i cant even imagine aiming over the top of a gun....now even on ps2 games and arcade games i still aim down the side

[andygonzo]

those guys at the top complain about what they get paid, i get 2.13 an hour...that sucks

[JTp8ntballer12]

isnt that lower than minimum wage?

i personally would rather work for store credit at a good pro shop..

[andygonzo]

no..it is min...for a waiter

[JTp8ntballer12]

well then u get nice good tips....i would hope

[tHa cLiPsE]

WHAT?! The Federal minimum wage is 5.15 isnt it!? That means EVERYWHERE they HAVE to give you 5.15 an hour. You must live on the border or somthin dude.

[warpedx]

Nope, they give the tips a lot of credit, so they can legally drop the minimum wage.

[JTp8ntballer12]

that sucks.. tips are nice tough

[cody11scrappy]

yeah, he's right bout the wage. and a lot of time, noobs just blind shoot

for any wait staff (waiters/watresses/busboys) tips are considered part of your pay. That's why they bitch so much if you don't tip. Of course we don't need to talk about my thoughts on tipping......that'd be a thread all it's own.

[cody11scrappy]

come on emmit. well as for me, i wouldnt tip them unless it was a really hot girl. id just be like "get a reeal job you loser"

[Emmit]

nah Cody....I think we'll save that for some other time......this thread has already gotten off track enough

[cody11scrappy]

well then start a new thread, i wanna hear it

[andygonzo]

dont ever come to wings n more and not tip...i will key your car if you do.

[JTp8ntballer12]

ok im starting a new thread.. (i like that topic)

and aint the speed so much better than those "other" angels... the space frame is the biggest upgrade IMO

[tHa cLiPsE]

Plus the board being 30bps is soooooooooooo damn fast.

[JTp8ntballer12]

funny...the maker of the angel in an interview was talking about how high speed boards are pointless and that low pressure is too....then he made a gun just like that..

[cody11scrappy]

he was just fooling with you so that you wouldnt know about anything

Give the people what they want. It's one of the fundamentals of running a business, you gotta keep your customers happy or else they bail on ya.

[jabbster]

I think it was like Cody said, he was just leading you in the wrong direction, like a wild goose chase.

Sincerely,

The jabbster

[JTp8ntballer12]

well them im gunna call him thin, to lead him in the wrong direction
