I have to say that I just love the Angel 1 barrel kit. I just wish WDP make the kit in polish colors but apparently, there isn't enough demand for polished colors. But it really is just a prefect kit.
I am also a huge fan of CP Full Bore kit and Stiffi barrels too.

To trick it out, go with one of the Stiffi's.

I had the hammerhead and hated it most of the time. If I had some thick shelled paint, it was okay, but with Anarchy or X-ball it was just shredding everything.
I had a stiffi and loved it.
All of the UL barrels I've had have been great.
I have a Redz pepperstick now that I really like as well. I'd put it up against my UL any day...no fun colors or anything, though.

I was looking into those (Redz) but didn't see one for the angel 1, i probably just looked in the wrong places

I don't know if they do have them for A1's or not. I have a kit for my shocker right now...

Lucky - If you really want to trick your Angel 1 out, get an Apex barrel and put the Apex tip on your Angel 1 stock barrel tip and you'll have yourself an Apex/Flatline Angel 1. Seriously, it works perfectly and would compliment your A-5 that is in your avatar nicely.

lol.....thats just crazy enough to work, i never actually saw the apex up close nor have i heard anything about them but if it works i can already hear my paintball buddies complaining just like they did when i first broke out the flatline (lots of unexpected headshots) ironically my A1 beats out my A-5 any day not to mention you can see the size difference.

Trust me it works and turns the Angel 1 into a long ballin' woodsball killing machine. Seriously, it does work.

so the tip is easily detatchable?,and if so would it fit back onto the original apex barrel as well cuz my backup marker (icd promaster) has cocker threads so id just get the apex barrel with cocker threads so i could use it on both should the need arise

i suppose the rate of fire might be affected, but in woodsball it should be 1 shot = 1 kill.

So, get the cocker threaded Apex and that adapter and you are a killing machine.....from a distance lol.
