I NEED to know what the weights for the IR3, IR3 C&C, and IR3 Fly are.
I've read that the IR3's are around 3lbs. 11 ounces, but i don't know if thats true. and I need to know what the weights of the C&C and Fly are. If you have any of the guns please weigh them w/o a tank and hopper and tell me.

i think its more of a cost question....1000+ compared to 950
you pick

well the only barrier on cost is 1,100 no more, Timmy's"sry for saying the evil wrd." are 2.85 pounds and that would make them lighter than IR3 Fly's not much lighter though.:sshh: :puzzled: I might just go with a Blue Dust Speed since i'll be playing front.

the lightest is the speed followed by the fly and then the Dark Angel IR3's... mambas will be right in there with the darks... if you get a heavier gun though do this... go with what gun you like to look at so check out the milling and the cheapest one... you'll pay a lot so make sure you can look at it. then if its too heavy for you and you are a front player, fill up your hopper like half way and maybe get a lighter air system to compensate...

yeah just do some situp's or like get some 'roid rage and just tough it up... go for the best warranty and what looks nice to you.. try them out if possible and see what one fits you best... angels aren't easy to come by in the rec baller's dept. but if you see someone with an angel, ask them to try theirs out...

well I'm not a rec baller, I have a 02 Rat Pulse right now and I do not like the way it shoots, plus i've broken my wrist in track"very very bad break" so i might not be able to use a 45 frame anymore becasue of the way i have to bend my wrist so the 90* frame will help in ROF and keeping my wrist in a nice position.

i am like 100% posative i have tendinitis in my left hand (haha very funny guys, just don't even bother) it is from me at karate trying to do al lthese ninja flips and $#**... well i still play like no other with that space frame it is nice and you will seriously not notice any weight difference, bad wrist or not..

believe me you would not want this kind of broken wrist. BOTH bones in the wrist broke at an angle striaght through my growth plate "not srtaight up and down mind you". And they were totally disloacted they slid completely over the top of my hand, YOU DO NOT WANT TO THINK OF THIS AS A LITTLE WRIST. the doctor that prefored the surgery to get the wrist back in place said it was the worst break he has seen in his 13 year career. I will probably not be able to bend my wrist the proper way to hold a 45* frame anymore, that is why i'm getting the IR3 or Speed. Don't think of it as a minor break until you have been in my shoes.

Hey the weight on the ir3 is not 3 lbs 11 ounces that means it is heavier than a old stock emag which is not true, only 6 ounces shy of the shocker which is a brick. The c&c emag is supposed to be 2 ounces lighter(numbers are from agd but i dont belive them, ule is lighter than extreeme) than the fly and the c&c emag wieghs 2.6 lbs so that means the fly weighs 2.8 lbs and the c&c weighs 3 lbs or a little lighter i think that number on the fly is right thats using a conversion i found for grams to pounds.
