Taken from p8ntballer.com:


Stop Press! We’ve just discovered that WDP are due to be launching a new Angel at their booth in Stockholm, Sweden’s venue for the Millennium Series. The launch is scheduled for Thursday (that’s tomorrow, by the way). This Angel is set to replace the IR3 as the premier marker in WDP’s range.

WDP launched the awesome Angel Speed less than four months ago in Las Vegas, and have apparently been swamped with orders ever since. The news that yet another new Angel is ready for release came as a surprise to us, and probably will do to other folk who’d thought they were in the know. We’re not entirely sure how those Brits have found time to launch two new markers and open a US office and distribution warehouse, while creating Pure Promotions and the superb Super 7 Series, all in seven months. It’s possible John Rice may have invented a time machine.

The Angel has already won the Millennium Series title (with a little help from Team Dynasty!) after just four events and four wins. Dynasty also look set to win the World Paintball Series for the second consecutive year, and the NPPL title, which would make them Triple Crown Champions for an unprecedented two years running. Dynasty are terrifying enough already – who knows what they could achieve with a new and improved Angel in their hands…

Check this page tomorrow for exclusive pictures of the new Angel, fresh from Stockholm, the land of beautiful things (and women)!

It probably won't cost as much as other guns...seeing as how the price trend among high end guns has been going down due to the release of cheaper guns...ie timmies, etc, now the angel has to compete= cheaper.

It's not in stock...and it probably never will be. I bet over 50% of Action Village's stuff that is advertised on their site is out-of-stock.

Looks like another angel. Doesn't seem like a great change from the LCD or IR3.

The speed is kinda ugly IMO...

I don't know why, but I like it. I don't know if it's the simplicity or what, but I think it's quite sexy.

The IR4 is good but not great.

I looked for pics on google and found an ad for it on a Nevada paintball site, FOCKING HELL THAT THING IS BUTT UGLY!!! But who knows if I found a legitimate ad for it or not. The Angel Speed has my vote for a beautiful piece of lovingly machined metal.

I didn't mean any offence to Angel fans, I just saw a pic that probably wasn't even real. So here is my appology to all Angel owners and fans I'm sorry that I said the IR4 is ugly when I haven't even seen the real production model yet. :(

I like their claims about being the "most accurate paintball gun ever".

I think its ok. The looks are nice and its really lightweight but its probably going to cost a pretty penny. I would much rather get a speed.

...I would love to see how they would make it more accurate than any other marker, seeing as how the only things that effect accuracy are the barrel/paint match, and the consistancy of the gun, since many good guns are nearly perfect in consistancy... There is a limit to the accuracy of a paintball, and we have pretty much reached it.


Does anyone else think that the Volumizer looks a bit phallic??

Take a Cocker and a Spyder with the same reg (consistancy) and the same paint to bore match. Let's see which is more accurate? You newb.

The people on this forum have been brainwash by idiotic things such as "OH TEH ONLY WAY A GUN KAN BE AKCURATE IS BECAUSAE OF PAINT TWO BORE MATCH NEWBIE HEHE1!!11"

You guys are to stubborn to believe anything else because you are newbs.

What are you talking about man??? I have both a Cocker and a Spyder! The only time I ever saw an accuracy difference was when I started using good paint and not crap super swirl! There are a thousand other people that can confirm what I say about paint/barrel match! I want you to tell me the physics of how the air that an Autococker blows out is more accurate than the air that a Spyder fires. Some people think that autocockers are more accurate, that is just a rumor, it might seem more accurate due to the lack of kick compared to a blowback, but even that difference is minute unless firing at high speed!


Edit: DON'T just call people newbs because they think differently than you. You may be wrong about things (like this) and spouting out stupid insults is not the smartest thing to do...

btw... how long have you been here? a month and 4 days?

Don't be dissin super swirl. :P

Tom Kaye even came out and stated that the Paint/Barrel match is the key.

Hello. They both have the same accuracy? Give me a good reason to believe otherwise.

:laugh: Yeah I know, Swirl is the best Wal-Mart paint I've shot yet, specially since I live in Bama; RPS is in Florida, so the paint isn't that old when I get it ;). The crap I had been using was actually some really old diablo 2nds... I should have know. :D

Crash, you n00b!

I would have thought by now you would have know that Cockers have Gnomes to help insure accuracy!
