a1 vs ego or shocker

[BustA]

im just wondering how you guys think the angel 1 measures up to the 06 ego or hybrid shocker. all three of these guns have similar price tags. im looking to purchase a new gun and these are the three im looking at (angel one, ego6, hybrid traitor shocker - all around 1200-1300$). give me your opinion.

[SpeedFreak05]

IMO i would wait until the bugs get worked out of the A1 and then i would buy that, because when they fix that thing its going to rip like no other.

[BustA]

so maybe wait till august before i get one?

[Mavrick]

I think it's safe to say the A1 is working well now. The pro's are using them and love them already. Heck, bet you will see many of them at the next NPPL event in Boston. Joy has already said these things rip and it's another reason that their winning rampage continued in the last event they played.

Look at it this way. I know of two reported issues, one was the eye covers on some of the first ones shipped were faulty and the MT's got that taken care of quickly once they had the new replacements. Second was some software tweaks. Now you can upgrade the gun yourself. Before you had to send it in to get that done. So unless your waiting for a special color (I am!) or for the masses of 1000's to say it is the best marker on the planet why wait?

[BustA]

no im not waiting for a special color. i will probably either get polished black or dust black. im just trying to research a little more on how the A1 compares to the ego and shocker besides size and weight

[i luv me angel]

yah get the a1 i have a shocker with preadtor bord, freak barrel, new desinz can and bolt but it always breaks so now i have a g7 fly and the shocker is now my back up

[BustA]

do you think there will be a price drop soon?

[i luv me angel]

defintly but i dont know but in probly about 3 months but you nan get a dm6 for $780 and like 3 months ago they were about $1500

[BustA]

also i need a new air tank. what tank do you think would be best to use with the A1. if u can post a link to it that would be appreciated.

[aerotcus]

Crossfire LP is probably the most used/recommended

[BustA]

my hopper neck broke last week too. so im gonna need a new hopper and tank. + with the A1 im gonna be droppin around 1600 dollars damn.

[Krazy American]

Ill sell you my angel 1 with a vlocity for $1200 used only one, just need some cash right now. have a vid if you want to see, lmk.

[SkaDude]

well if u think about it ur coming out ahead like 100 bucks or so because u need a new hopper anyway and ur getting a pretty sweet gun. From the vids it looked like it was ripping, thats the fastest iv seen a one go, and atleast in the vid he didn't smash it into the ground he kept it up above the ground. i would do it but im still trying to gather money myself :( but yea if u want a dust black i would do it. and + ur gonna get it sooner probably then if u order it

oh and abr5 that was probably the most useless post iv see on here

[BustA]

im thinking about buying it from http://sakworldpaintball.com/

also i use a mac. my brother uses a mac too but i think he knows how to run windows on it. im gonna need a way to update the software because it only works with windows. is it easy to update the software? can someone who has an A1 tell me about how long it took them to set everything up and get it working?

[Krazy American]

Took me about five minutes to download everything and flash the board so its really simple...

[BustA]

will the halo b with victory board + rip drive work on the A1. and would you go with a 45/45 or a 68/45 tank? or somethin else?

[SkaDude]

well if u like the gun close to u or ur a front playa get the 45/45 if u like the gun not that close to u or ur a back playa get the 68/45 oh and if ur worried about weight get the 45/45 ,but thats just my opinion:biggthump

Edit: yes, the halo will work with the A1

[BustA]

here is everything im thinking of getting from sakworldpaintball.com

Black HALO B with v. 35 Victory Board + RIP Drive - $124.50
Dust Black WDP Angel 1 - $1,199.00
45/4500 Crossfire Screw-In Low Pressure Tanks - $209.99

-----

Total - $1,533.49



do you guys think i should buy the A1 from a different place? and would you recommend a different tank? and lol i cant decide if i should get a black or a clear hopper. i dono if i wanna keep opening it to check my paint. clear would solve that problem

[SkaDude]

great tank, and if ur worried about looking to see how much paint get a smoke

[BustA]

okie dokie. im gonna order it up sometime this week.

[Mavrick]

Get the A1 from an MT on this site! Please take my advise on this one. You will be glad you did later on. No one, and I mean no one will give you better service or support! You can take that to the bank.... I think most of the guys and gals on this board would agree with me.

[SkaDude]

:dito: sry forgot to mention that lol like he said no better support then them :mt:

[BustA]

hmmm i might buy the A1 from angelforce.tv then...i dono i will have to think bout it. im pretty sure sakworld has great service too tho..

[JeffW]

I don't believe sakworld has any MTs though.

[Mavrick]

Not the same thing mate! These guys are tied in direct with the factory. They are the ones that give the feedback to get improvements and also have first crack at everything. Sackworld does NOT do any of the pro team angel guns. Only the MT's do!

[BustA]

MT=?

OK, i will buy the A1 from either angelforce.tv or fixmyangel.com

then i will get my new hopper and tank from sakworldpaintball.com


sound good?

[SkaDude]

MT=Master Tech henc :mt: and it sounds good 2 me:biggthump

[BustA]

so angelforce has MTs that can help me if i have problems with my A1 and if i need to can i send it in to them?

[SkaDude]

yup thats right

[xxmjumpman23xx]

ya definitely buy the gun from an MT, the hopper and tank u can buy from Saks, u cant beat MT service and support

[BustA]

ok thanks guys. A1 will be purchased from fixmyangel.com this week.

[TNS2k2]

45/45 are a small tank, ive always gone with a 68/4500 its good for the occasional front position, but good all around. when i was playing back id go with an 88/4500. look at how much paint you carry, how much you shoot on average, and how often you want to be running to the air line to fill up. if you are just playing rec ball, id go with the 68.

[Mavrick]

Peanut tanks or 70/4500 are good to. I like em so I can tuck in my gun close. Better center of balance IMO. So for a lighter gun like the A1 I think it would pay off.

[akpaintballer13]

I don't know the new tanks from empire are very light and worth the extra money, you also forgot about N-Guerrilla Air Assault L.P. "FUKU" Series 68ci/4500psi Systems they are also very light and are very nice.
Just 2 more options to look at.

[BustA]

Hmm yeah i was also looking at the 70/45 because it is more compact and ya it will def give a better center of balance. i think i will go with that.

[SkaDude]

ur gonna have 1 sweet set up by the end of all this talking lol

[gordo]

well what about the dm6 ironmen edition or the angel one ????
please be honest
im undecided

[theTallerBaller]

N-Guerrilla Air Assault L.P. "FUKU" Series 68ci/4500psi Systems they are also very light and are very nice.
Just 2 more options to look at.

This is what I wanted to get. Unfortunately, they are out of Carbon 68/4500 tanks until August 15th (just a heads up), but I don't mind waiting for what I understand to be a great tank at a significantly reduced weight.

[bunkerking555]

y not wait a few months and with the money u saved over those few months buy an angel 1 fly? that seems like the best plan to me.as for the tank, the Stako 68ci Bottle and Pro Toyz Reg is less than a kilogram in weight.its lie 275 bucks but it might be worth it.



heres the url for the tank:

[Kei - Gorilaz]

Crossfire is not the lightest, but it ahs the most consystent flow at high rates. Adn about the DM6 and A1? Well, if you like to make maitainance all the time and use big tanks, go for the DM. But if you want a marker that won't give you headaches often, that you can use a small tank (and less weight) and compact, go for the A1.

[BustA]

I think im gonna go with the crossfire 70/45 because its small and compact and will allow for better balance on the gun.

[Syber]

70in of tank is not compact ts brity darn big for a tank unles its a penut
