I have money, that is not a problem. I have plenty of it, and I'm not a spoiled 14 year old either. Now that that is cleared up. I have been playing paintball for the last 5 years, love it, and have gone from a stingray 2, spyder, m98, cocker, shocker, impulse, etc.. My last gun was a timmy, I liked everything about it, but I need more. I want you guys to help design the BEST angel, as said cost is not an issue. I would design my own, but I haven't ever looked into them, except how they look. If ya could include a pic, but remember, I want the BEST. So please help.

I am in the same shoes...
money is no issue... I moved from spyder to cocker to matrix..........

now I am ordering a Mamba IR3 with angel AIR
I am trusting WDP's new design, with Cobra's excellence.

I was trying to decide between Bonebrake mod Angel, IR3 and adrenaline.
when I heard Cobra was releasing IR3, I knew I had to have it.

If I were in your shoes (which I practically am) I would do the same thing.
the only problem with the IR3 is that they are new, and m-a-y have bugs.... I am praying that they dont, and if they do, cobra saw them and worked them out.
other than that, it is an angel with an antichop eye and comfortable (but kinda ugly) grips.


if you dont want IR3, get adrenaline... you dont have to upgrade at all. they are perfect as they come

Yea, I looked at the angels last night from WDP. Nice guns, I think I might want a C&C, not really the IR3's tho, they look... Kind of *** with that sabre gaurd. But the do have a very nice look. I mean i like the gaurd, but I don't, it seems like it might restrict modifying the gun.

everyone is going to have a different opinion on an angel setup, i personally would go with an ir3 if i had the money. i think it makes the lcds seem that much more obsolete and ir3s are going to be the new craze. i have heard that the dark ir3s are not going to have that gaurd there, but im not sure. I would get an ir3, nice tank (air, geddon, conquest, max flow) and a halo . . .

I was looking last night as I said, I like the IR3's but they don't have enough colors. When I get my angel, im getting the angel air as well. I just really want everything to match. :)

Anyways, Are there any major things I should do to an angel? Like any mods, things I should really get?

check out the dark IR3's... they have more colors (fades, etc) or the Mamba IR3's... they will outperform both, I think.

if money is no issue, I wouldnt go with a plain C&C LCD... If you really want WDP, I would go with the Fly LCD...
consider dark LCD's, Bonebrake Mod's (good way of upgrading a normal LCD), Adrenaline (arguably the best angel on the market), and cobra/mamba LCD's.... also regarded as one of "the best."
there are lots of choices.
like I said... I am in your shoes.

I am going with Mamba (www.cobrapaintball.com) IR3 and 45/45k angel air.
new freak back (I already have full kit), ricochet 2K (already have too).

excellence will vary from person to person, just check out all options, fire guns, and ask your local pro shop. just go with what you want.

The bonebreak mod is more than a tune up. They will "drill out" your LPR and other air passages. Some people that have it and love it, others have it hate it. I personally opted to stay away.

My dream machine will be here in about 4 weeks. A red dust Ripper LCD with Chrome Adrenalin accessories. I will post pic's when it gets here!!

Well if your not spoiled then why don't you pay for it yourself right now? Also you cannot usually get a job at 14. my first job was at 15, when i was 14 I could never find one. But good luck. :pissed:

Anyways. Back to angels. When Warped Sportz comes out with the Dark IR3's i might get one of them, i need to see a pic first tho. I have shot quite a few angels, but never a dark or mamba. Well IR3's as well.

a dark is basically the same as a stock LCD other than milling/anno, a trigger job, warranty and a volumizer i think. i think thats it . . . someone correct me if im wrong . . .

No need to correct, you are 100% correct.

mamba's on the other hand are totally custom.... in terms of parts.
they use cobra parts....
well... they ARE cobra angels, just not as extensive milling or illustrious anno.... they look sweet.....
cost $1700, I think... Mamba IR3's will be around 1850 or 1900, my guess would be.
I dont think they will be over a grand... but I could be wrong.

I have shot markers with bonebrake mods. they are really quite nice.
Dark angels arent any more "accurate" than other angels, but they are smooth as hell. they have some of the best triggers and trigger jobs availible.
I think they are worth their cost.

err.............. nah... I mean exactly what I said (not trying to look like an idiot)...
a mamba IR3 could be between 1850 or 1950, but not more than 1000....................

Maybe i dont pay for it right now because I dont have the money because i NOT spoiled. I would go buy it right know if i WAS spoiled but im not, so you just made no sense.:rolleyes:

By the way, im getting a job at IGA, since they hire people at 14:pissed:

Well I haven't shot an Ir3 but I have to say, I shoot my buds i-frame imp, has that same curved back grip, god I could live with the saber guard, it is COMFORTABLE!!! Man, why the hell has it taken them this long (all companies) to start doing that?

Heard something about ir3 trigger frames retro-in to LCDS?
