angel?

[TheSickness]

i have a cocker but i was wondering how are angels compared to cockers? how is there acuracy, loudness,wieght, reliablity? i hear alot about how they are ball blenders and big wastes of money but i want to know how much is true so i wont be a hipicrit when i talk about them

oy.. less accurate, a little louder, lighter, extremely reliable. High ROF and No they arent blenders.

Personally, I wouldn't talk about anything I haven't shot extensively but here goes.

ANgels are not as accurate as cockers (which is to say that they have more curved trajectories). However this is not something that factors in if you are a front man. The almost insane rates of fire that can be achieved more than compensate for someone (the frontman) that needs such a rate of fire. They are only paint blenders if the gun's electronics are inproperly set and/or the hopper is not able to keep up with the rate of fire, in which case you either need a faster hopper or you need to slow down on the trigger. They aren't all that heavy unless you are a light-weight. People complain about Shockers' weight but I say "Go to a gym or find something heavy at home and exercise". Angels are a reasonable weight, no matter what somepeople with small arms says. Angels aren't as quiet as LP electronic guns like the Shocker but they are competively quiet. They are extremely reliable when set right, which is relatively easy to do.

Any other questions?

ya i can see how somthing like an angel would be good for a frontman. The thing i really dont understand is why they put so many modes on them when you cant use half of them in tournies

[BlindSeaman]

For fun, and it really doesn't cost them much more to put the modes on the marker.

accuracy is the same... dont buy the hype. i own 3 angels and 2 cockers they shoot THE SAME. as for reliablity they are excelent. very low maintance only draw back is when something breaks it usualy has to be fixed by a tech. they are rather quiet guns.. depending on the setup they can be just as quiet as a normal cocker (obviously not the extreem low pressure ones). they do wheigh a bit more but its not very significant.. after a few games you wont notice the difference. they are not blenders, in fact i break 1 ball per case at most and that usualy happens when i let the hopper drain all the way. waste of money is a different story.. for most players it is a waste. you can get 75% of the performance/quality from a bushy or imp at 1/2 the cost. what you are paying for besides a name is quality/engineering and to some extent resale value (they hold their value better than any gun). if you plan on playing alot of tourneys they can be worth it.. if not go with one of the mid range electros. they will be more cost effective for a everyday player.
