Well I think they are worth it. They have a hi rof, great reliablility, are quiet, rarely if ever chop paint, look great, great efficiency, are extremely consistent, light and compact, and just plain cool.
And to all those who said no, why do ya think so? I always hate when people bash something and either dont have a good reason or are ignorant of the item they are bashing.

my best friend has a angel and i play with it every once and a while and they are assume with his setup you can play real tight when you need to and snap shoot extremly well with both hads.the only down part is there accuracy from 30 yards out.but if you are a front player you have nothing to worry about.

I don't believe angels are worth the money you would pay to have one because...
First and foremost, they are expensive. I've seen them priced at 1500 and even as high as 2000. This is just silly. A paintgun has no business costing that much damn money.
Second on my list is the fact that cheaper markers such as the autococker, impulse, shocker, although not much cheaper, but a little more resonable can easily compete on a level playing field and can also immitate the high rate of fire. Having an angel does not make you a better player. Practice, hard work and discipline make you a better player. And a player with a 400 dollar cocker can put a damn mean whoopin' on a guy with 1500 dollar angel. It's like twich said. The angel is a symbol of prestige. How much are you willing to pay for it. There is no sence in buying an angel other than the plain and simple fact that you want to be recognized as the guy with the angel.
And last, but not least, I think they are ugly, like bushmasters are ugly and like tribals are ugly. I kind of like the shocker turbo when fully assembled, but would never pay that much for a marker. I like my sts. It can compete with cockers well with the upgrades i've made. I like the way it looks. I like my classic black finish and I like the feel. I like my rate of fire just fine. I can smoke out rounds really really fast when backed into a corner and can pump 'em out fast enough to beat opponents to the punch nine times out of ten. I have 240 invested in my gun and maybe later an e-lcd because that's the way I want it. Remember, I'm only stating my expressed opinion. I said no without giving reason, you wanted one, there it is.

i'd rather get a cheaper electro (impulse turbo) and trick it out, i don't think i could spen 1000 $ in upgrades, and it would be way mor efun than just keeping an angel stock and it would cost less

I agree simon. Upgrades are one of the things I like about paintball. It's fun to trick out a marker. You have your own custom gun, it looks like one of a kind, and has you written all over it because you tricked it out. Like my sts. It feels kinda weak in my hands and is very light when I hold it, but in a way it's grown on me. I like the looks and can take the hammer/bolt assembly out and run my pull through in and out and have it reassembled in like thirty seconds. I do this 20-30 times daily to keep it fresh in my reflexes. And like you said before, I also pull the trigger on my gun a lot. I don't cock it or anything, just strengthen the skill of firing fast. I like my N2 set up, I like the stuff I've done. I may go with a cocker one of these days, but never anything to high priced. I'll try to post a pic of my guns. They're sweet, but nothing special.

i knwo what you mean billionaire i've personalized my gun to an extent that its hard to give it up, i'm sure i could sell it for a little under 200, then i'd ahve enough to buy an impulse, but i like the look and feel of my gun so much, it's hard to ecen ask what somebody would be willing to pay for it, half the fun of paintball is upgrading the marker, mines at the point where it is almost perfectly balanced with a full hopper and co2 except a little front heavy, but i have an X chamber so it's perfect. thats the only thing holding me back from going for the impulse
ohyeah, i don't cock my gun when i pull the trigger int he house either, just pull it fast and it helps, i can outfire everybody who plays at my houe.
