Im not really good at that technical stuff, i usually leave them to my teammates. Im like a race car driver who does not know jack about the car's engine or that stuff.
Ok, this is what i have learned so far. By the way, i also shoot the 2k3 LCD (they are so sexy huh? :clap: not to mention they shoot great)
Im am not really sure about the halo b, some say that it will just chop the balls, since it force-feeds it in the gun. But some will say it works really well. Now with the evo2, they say that it will work perfectly with the Angel. I was really thinking of getting that but i usually play upfront or doing that insert thing, so i really dont shoot that fast or that much, so i decided to stick with the good old-fashioned revolution. It still works well, no complaints here.
As for the freak system. They work really really well. Very well made. I usually dont use all the inserts, just because we only shoot 2 kinds of paint. But all in all they are great aftermarket barrels.
As for the other stuff you said, to tell you honestly, i do not know what they are!! :doh: My Angel, is pretty much stock, except for the freak barrel system.
Like, i said this is just my thoughts, it will always be still up to you since you are the one who's going to use it. Do whatever works for you man. And there is always this saying of mine, "if its not broke, dont fix it."
Anyway, hope my essay helped even a little. Good luck to you man. Play hard and have fun. See you in the field.

as a Linebacker (in 5man) and mid (in 7man) I honestly prefer the Evo2, not only because of all the problems with the Halo (which are now supposedly fixed), but because I like the extra paint it holds as well as the way it changes your profile. With the hopper sitting farther back on the marker it chages your profile quite a bit. Takes a little to get used to, but I like it in the end.

Bolt....while it's a personal thing as most bolts are designed to give you a tighter chrono grouping and increase efficiency I prefer the R-11 bolt. Darn good bolt, and there's a good reason the Speed bolt looks an aweful lot like it, even WDP knows it's better than the orginal stock bolt design.

everything else is pretty much aesthetics and personal preferances. The Freak is a good barrel set IMO, but I'm eager to get my hands on a Lucky15 as soon as Warped makes them available. Talking to some of the guys from Vicious that used them in Vegas it is a good barrel set.

I have the Evo II and the Halo B... I shoot the Halo B on my 2k3 LCD and love it, but I also run the Evo II on my fly and love it also.. however on the LCD I had to open my dwell as suggested by Odyssey Paintball to 17, which is what they recommend for the IR3 if you chop. and I've had no problems at all... Halo works fine with the gated feed as does the Evo. I love the Evo though just due to the why it loads and how much paint I throw. I run the Cobra bolt on my Fly, and the New DesighnZ on my LCD both are great.. beats the stuffins out of the stock. I also resommend the Cobra trigger if you like blades/flat triggers.. they are tight and rock!

1 word, spaceframe if you can find one, got one on mine and its so amazing lol but really, a good barrel and hopper will do ya good ACE im iffy on, i might get it for mine..... but my gun hasnt chopped one ball since i got it anyways, but my egg batteries are gettin low so i think it might be coming soon lol

[cky17]

who makes the R11 bolt? i;m also thinking about getting a ace for my 03, how much they run? $250?

[Emmit]

run a search on the R-11 bolt I'm getting tired of explaining it, it's been talked about at least twice this week already :wall:

and Warped Sportz LA is the only one doing an ACE here in the States, call them they will give you their price right now as of today, instead of getting a bunch of "I think it's..." or "It was..."

[bunkerd50]

ive got an evo 2 and no vision eye, i can shoot 16 with my 2k3 and I dont have any worries about chopping EVER, i dont even see where the eye is needed, once your angel is tuned right the only way it will chop is with bad paint and a slow loader

[silverdust03]

I agree with bunkered50. I have a 2k3 and evo II hitting around 13-14 bps with no chopping problems. In the 9 cases I shot I've only had two balls break on me, one barrel break and one because my detent got stuck and double fed. My friend has an ir3 and has only used cops once, he said it slows down his ROF big time. I say ACE may be unecessary but if you're gonna get it You should definitely get it last, so you can test the gun and loader to determine if you need it.

[jabbster]

Here we go, i think that you should not get the ace eye. The 03 lcd is fast, but there is little chance of you outshooting a egg2, or halo. While on the subject of hoppers i strongly suggest the egg2. Less to worry about, lighter, and holdes more paint; not to mention that it is $50 less... Now on to bolts, the DEZign bolt is IMO the best bolt out there. It will lower input pressure a shiz load, while still keeping a high velocity. Triggers are more of a personal thing, but the Cobra blade is nice, as is the Element. I like the Cobra, but that is just me. I am not a real fan of dye angel upgrades as they offer no preformance change, and i think that they are ugly... Twisted is the way to go for cosmetic upgrades. Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

[frippe]

why higher your dwell 17 ?

[MorpheusX]

ok i think the ace is a good idea any less chance of choppping paint in game is a good thing . And they work great.

If your going to get a halo why not get the gun double detented? it woudl eb worth it in the long run cause you can use a halo as well as any other loader.

i really wqouldnt put any upgrades on the gun as in volumizers and stuff unless of course they matched.

i would definately get the freak kit there amazing, perfect paint match everytime.

also what kind of air system? i reccomend a max flow if you dont have an adjustable system.

[tgm]

screw the maxflo...03 conquest all the way.

[jabbster]

The conquest or the AIR. They are the best.

Sincerely,

The jabbster

[captncrunch]

get an eclipse blade frame, trust me...

[bunkertime]

ACE is a no no really.
The eyes on any gun really slow it down b/c by the time u pull the gun fires the ball will be in the chamber all the way without the ace but with it, it will still stop it. I think itr's a waste of money and it looks ugly. lol.

The Dye turbo triggers rip. I don't know about you guys but my friend puts one on his Dark LCD sometimes and it's just CRAZY. I've shot the turbo trigger and i say it's a yes. The dye bolt is ok. and if i was u i would put Volumizers on your gun. The other person that said no is an idiot. They lower your pressure and prevent drop off. but only put on, Some ppl put them on the battery area and it's just a waste of Mula that could be spent on ALL THE PAINT YOUR GOING TO SHOOT!!! :). I don't know about u but i have accuracy in numbers. LARGE numbers. lol. Gotta love shooting fast.

[ffry]

dye turbos are aight..... as far as i know the dye bolt is just a stock lcd bolt milled in the back to be round (could be wrong) ACE doesnt slow your gun down at least from waht ive seen, COPS has had complaints of slowing down the gun but ACE seems to work fine

[bunkertime]

Well i've shot cops 2 and vision eye for smart parts, i'm just infering b/c most ace systems on all gns are kinda the same


The dye bolt has some work done to it to make it a little better, The back is nice b/c it moves the bolt when your closing the breech so the botl doesn't stop it. I have a dye bolt but i use the ND bolt more.

[Kriptic]

do the egg with the y board definatly and get an angel air or max flow... i wouldn't mess with the halo for the LCD.. get the ACE though that is tight i heard.

[ffry]

from what ive heard the ACE is like teh ACE on timmys, it fires whenever the beam is broken, the vision on impys like reflects off the ball or something i think (could be wrong) so it doesnt work as well


as for the dye bolt, are you really ever in that much of a hurry that you cant take the .5 sec to align the bolt in the breech so you can shut it?

[bunkertime]

I had to open the breech durring a game b/c i couldn't clean it well enough and my balls where going everywhere

[opivy-unity]

Ok i have an 2k3 LCD and a Halo.. They work fine together. PERIOD. I ran the gun with the dwell on 14 all day. No chops with my Halo. The best part about the Halo is that it doesnt look like a freaking egg. Why blow $250 on some eye that is a useless upgrade if you have a fast hopper? And why buy a loader that looks like a giant egg?

[bunkertime]

Personaly i would't put Cops on my Angel, b/c it looks fugly, Secondly, halos are kinda exspensive but your saying is true my friend, You don't need anti-chop eyes if you have a fast enough loader :)
