The ultimate light weight setup?

[GTOnizuka]

So what are your choices for the lightest Angel One setup?

I'm going with a Crossfire 68/4500 tank and Vlocity loader. I need a 68/4500 tank.

I'll be using my Dye Ultralite barrels also.

[PaintballStar18]

a stiffi or orbium would be lighter than the UL. Id also look at the J&J kit. also if you really were looking for the lightest setup possible, id use a 45/4500. that would be straight gangster lol

[FirePro84]

Angel One
Stiffi Switch Kit
HaloB
45/4500 Centerflag or Crossfire

of course if you live in europe there's the Stako bottles :P

[DarthAlan]

THe MacDev Presets are a lot lighter than the Crossfires

[akpaintballer13]

empire presets are also alot lighter then crossys

[SD-G-force]

i thought that the stock barrels on the a1 would be lighter than the UL barrel

[BigBigZubra]

idk y every1 likes stiffis..all they r r light..they dont shoot str8...and id stick w/ the crossfire!!!just my 2 cents..

[Ti27]

I say go with the MacDev, light and a great recharge, what more can you ask for.

[Robotboll]

Sly or Stiffi barrel kit,
Reloader
Stako tank with a good reg, like the crossfire (heavy) or the MacDevs (haven't used myself, but hear good things). That would weigh next to nothing.

[GTOnizuka]

I would have used a MacDev bottle. However, I noticed Ken Crane recommend Crossfire in another thread.

[golobulus]

macdev gladiator is definitely lighter than the crossy

how are the new barrels going to be? have they come out with an official weight on them yet? they look comparable to all the 2 piece barrel kits i.e. redz pepper sticks, macdev matchsticks, oribiums, uls, etc..,

would have to get a .689 back though.

[mclaggan123]

its a matter of a few ounces, it really doesnt matter.

[Wolfhawk46]

Angel one
Stock barrel since they're lighter than UL...
VLocity (fastest force fed hopper out there that's made for tourney ball (not q-loader for instance))
45/45 LP Crossifre tank

'bout as light as you can get without sacraficing top performance...
I mean you could get a 4oz co2 tank...and a gravity fed hopper...and use no barrel at all...that's be REALLY light...but you'd be retarted to even try that with the A1...lol...after one shot...there goes your new marker...paint everywhere, internals frozen...etc. lol.

[BAKERmancan]

yeah a halo B should not be used for "lightweight" setups since halo b is FAR FROM lightweight

[irockthespeed]

Here's an idea.....Wait until you get it! Unless you've got one already then my point is moot.

I'll have mine sometime next month probably (bought from fixmyangel) and then I can weigh it with my asa.

The stock infinity barrel on my 05 Speed only weighs 5-6 oz so I don't think there is much weight savings to be had by switching the stock barrel out. I don't know how much the stock barrel on the ONE weighs.

The tank is where I'm going to see the biggest difference. My current tank (ACI Bulldog) weighs 3lbs! I'm going to buy a MacDev Legionair soon due to its weight of 2.1 lbs. That's a 15oz weight savings. That's something I'm going to feel!

I have a Halo B custom painted hopper (grey w/black skulls, skeletons) that turns more heads than me showing up naked so I'm not going to be switching to a different/lighter hopper any time soon. Besides I really like the performance of the Halo. It also looks better than lots of other hoppers out there. Egg? Please, it's hideous!

Well now, you sure had a lot to say even though you told me to "wait."

It's fun to speculate, isen't it? It's fun to think about possible setups and how one might make the most of the Angel One's features. :)

Also, I demand pics of that custom painted Halo B! :) :devil1:

[SkaDude]

just my thoughts

Angel 1
stiffi switch(just for the lightness)
McDev 45/4500, or crossy 45/4500
empire b with a 9v batt. instead of the 4 AA or the 6 AA

that would b a super light set-up

[irockthespeed]

I'll get some pics of my current setup tomorrow and I'll post a link. The hopper is the killer.....

[younggunna69]

stiffi barrel
gravity fed hopper
stako tank
macdev on/off
mac dev rail

[irockthespeed]

Um, did you just say "gravity"? What is gravity? I think I heard something about it a long time ago.....:devil1:

While we're time traveling why don't we all switch back to 12gram cartidges. Now that's savin' some weight! :tunes:

Here are some pics (http://www.angel-owners.com/showpost.php?p=518699&postcount=160) I just posted on the '05 Speed pics page. What do you think?

[SkaDude]

duuude u do know that u have 1 of 30 dust silver speeds right? lol just thought id let u know :cheers:

[NorwegianPlaya]

I have a Halo B custom painted hopper (grey w/black skulls, skeletons) that turns more heads than me showing up naked so I'm not going to be switching to a different/lighter hopper any time soon.

Very nice Halo :biggthump , but i think you showing up naked would turn more heads..

[Speedy_in_Blue]

1. Stock A1 Barrel Kit
2. Guerilla Air FUKU tank and Ambush reg, lightest and BEST reg I have found yet
3. Vlocity
4. CP Direct Mount(got to use CP stuff, sorta sponsored by them :doh: )

[Devs]

If you live outside the US you can pick up a CESAIR tank, as far as I know they're the lightest available.

[Robotboll]

Cesair = Stako tank... Well, basicly.

[SkaDude]

http://secure.fixmyangel.com/modules/catalog/images/angel1.jpg

I just got this pic from www.fixmyangel.com hope yall like :boobies:

Man i wish i could get 1 but I'm to broke to get it. No moneys $$$$$ stupid Katrina :cry:

[Devs]

Cesair = Stako tank... Well, basicly.

Didn't know that. I've never heard the term Stako before. My bad. :notsure:

www.wdp.tv states that its 7.2 inches long excluding barrel. Pull out a ruler or tape measure. You'll be astonished.

[irockthespeed]

duuude u do know that u have 1 of 30 dust silver speeds right? lol just thought id let u know :cheers:

I knew they were kinda rare but only 30? Where would I confirm this I wonder......



Oh, and just so this post doesn't get moved or deleted: That new Angel ONE sure looks light and will be the lightest Angel ever and I wonder when they are shipping I hope soon!

my friend has the same finish and he called wdp and they said he had 1 of 30 shipped out so congrats u would put that in ur sig :drink:

2. Guerilla Air FUKU tank and Ambush reg, lightest and BEST reg I have found yet
3. Vlocity
4. CP Direct Mount(got to use CP stuff, sorta sponsored by them :doh: )

FINALLY! Someone mentions the Guerrilla Air. Flows as fast and consistent as a crossfire and is about half the weight. They use the lightest carbon fiber tank available w/ 5 year hydros.

[Speedy_in_Blue]

hell yea it is, i think its flows even faster than crossfire

[irockthespeed]

I just got on WDP's website (http://www.wdp.tv/) and saw all of the new pics. Amazing!

With the barrel it weighs only 2.43 lbs. My setup w/gun and tank will only weigh 4.53 lbs. Can't remember what my halo weighs.

This is a dramatic weight savings over my previous setups.

I'm losing sleep at night waiting for my ONE to ship!

[NorwegianPlaya]

you would have to change your name to irocktheone :D

ill use a warpfeed w/halo and a 5 liter scuba-tank pluss a strainless-steal barrel... ;)
and of course only 20pods of paint on my back... since im a front...

.....or not

[irockthespeed]

you would have to change your name to irocktheone :D

Yeah, I've thought of that. I wish there was a way to change my name without starting a new account/profile.

Just for the record, "There can be only ONE" is my tagline. Don't nobody steal it!

[younggunna69]

what you could do, is take off the on'off and put on the legion air push button reg on. It would be lighter than the guerilla air.

[irockthespeed]

Young, you don't have an Angel? If not then.....how do I put this politely.....for what purpose are you participating? :evilgrin:

[xxmjumpman23xx]

i would get the one but i am pre-ordering the PS3, o well i dont PB that much

[irockthespeed]

i would get the one but i am pre-ordering the PS3, o well i dont PB that much

Ok here's what you do: Buy an Xbox 360 and use the $200-$300 savings on the better system as a down payment on the ONE.

See, it's about using your noodle!

Problem is i dont want the XBOX 360, ive played it like 10 times, dont like it....

[Spedracer]

people...

aside from a straight steel tank, crossfires are the heaviest presets on the market. Honestly the regs on them arent good enough for the weight that the bottle has.

I have an angel preset, one of the lighter tanks, works fine, reg is made by guerilla air...

mac devs are also really light bottles.

Crossfire sucks! Thank god ATF took mine away in LAX, otherwise i wouldnt have ever got an angel preset.

[gangstajpimpin]

MACDEV 05 Legion Air tanks are THE LIGHTEST OUT THERE! Extreme recharge rate too! The best IMO

Also...for ur VLocity get a BOOST Kit...lightens it up SO MUCH u dont even KNOW1

[dark_angel_lcd]

Angel One
Stiffi Switch Kit
Empire fuel tank (extremely light)
Vlocity Hopper with Boost Kit

[haroldenzo]

I just ordered an Angel 1 and I want to buy a guerilla air system, anyone know where I can find one other than the manufacturer website? thanks

[boostmonkey]

Heavier can mean safer with compressed air tanks. The old Global Composites International tanks Crossfire formerly used were lighter, but ended up being recalled under a safety campaign.

Tank construction is a BALANCE between weight and strength.

I bought mine from FMA

[warpedx]

Did they ship it to you fast? ;)

[demiruyar]

Angel One
Stacko 1,1 liter(45/4500) tank
Guerilla air ambush regulator(lighter than the assault)
The standart stiffi barrel(which is lighter and better than switch kit)
Vlocity hopper.

nice set up

[Juggernout]

We have nearly the same setup:

Angel One
St!ff! barrel (standard or Miami Rage edition)
Stacko 1,1liter + P3 LP Reg
Vlocity

[ocballer]

i think a 45/45 set up would be good but after my first day of use with a 45/8200 I used all the air with 4 pods and on hopper. i want to go to a 45/45 but
I think yhr lpr needs tweeking. The gun is great, i like it as much as my DM6 but it'e WAY louder. The A1 shoots straiter thoe.
