so everyone says angels are the greatest electro's.... alright they "have good electronics" but how does that make them better than a 1,200 impulse? the impy could have an i-frame, vision, freak system, delrin, and a max-flo, and it still costs less. So what exactly makes the angel worth the extra $?

nothing except people like to say that they spent like, for example, 1,500 on their totally tricked spyder. Does that make it better than my Impy. No, cost doesnt matter, az long as it is quality. Also, the Angel is a gun with several years of history and tournament experience. Some peoople ive met say "hey, what gun you using?" I tell them my imp, then theyre like, what the heck is that. They know what an angel is. The Imp with I frame has as good bps as an Angel. The vision is a perk that the Angel doesnt have. The Freak is infinitly better that the Jacko Infiniti, and the Maxflo is the best reg around. Well, the Angel does come with a NICD battery stock, but a 12 dollar 9 volt NiMH is tons better. Im told that the anodizing on Angels is thin. Nothing worse than a nice anno job marred by a slide in the first game. HMM, LCD screen on the angel, SO WHAT?? Why is that so important? So you can change fire modes. NPPL rules dont allow you to use those fullyauto modes (they allwo the boards, but not the modes to be used) anyway. LP, they are both, and for all I know, with some knowledge the Imp can run at 90 PSI, the Angel cant beat that. The angel is supposed to run on HPA only, the Impy is geared towards CO2 and HPA. BUT BUT BUT, my angel is still better than yours *Angel user sticks out tongue* NO WAY IN HEAVEN OR HELL. The Impy is just better, so make like Nike and Just do it

yea, i figure it will cost about 1,500 total, but since you don't have to spend it all at once it's not that bad...

okay i got an impulse and an angel, the impulse is tottaly tricked out with:
Freak barrelkit
VFF
Vert Reg
Voodoo Bolt
Eclipse trigger
and freak stickies
now i love my angel way more its a '99 LED it seems more accurate at longer ranges, its more reliable, and more stable. the impulse feels like its just gonna fall apart in your hands, while an angel is more stable. i still have the stock jacko barrel it shoots fine. but in the end paintball is all a preference. how bout we all just stop whining about our guns and play some ball?

imps are nice , but angel have an outstanding reputation, they feel so nice, they shoot nice and solid in ure hands, the lcd makes adjustments like dwell, rate of fire etc.. VERY easy which i HIGHLY admire, i already broke my dwell pot off my stock imp board the first time i tried adjusting it , my teamates fly lcd is just soo easy and it looks nice. hey if u have the cash why not? plenty of pros and big time ballers use em for a reason eH?

I make good money and Im good friends with owners of a paintball store, I play on they're team and get a discount no one would believe, Yet I still chose an Imp, actually 3 of them, performance wise, no difference, I could care less what anyone says. If your about looks, get an Angel or a Ratpulse, If you want superior performance get an IR3 Angel or a Ratpulse, you wanna be like every joe-blow get an Angel, you wanna stand out in a crowd get an IMPULSE. The Captain of our Team owns the store and he has a Cobra Mamba Angel, what is he shooting... The Ratpulse. All of the guys on our team owns Angels, yet they are buying Ratpulses as well... Hmmm. I am by no means giving the Angels any discredit, in fact I like them myself, but if you want value for your dollar with top performance get an Impulse. To the guy who said the Impulses feel like they will fall apart in your hands , tighten the screws on it and use loctite, it will fix that feel.
