Visible break-beam anti-chop eyes The Angel 1�s main pneumatic advancements have been made possible by the deletion of the rechargeable battery, allowing the Angel development team to completely re-zone the Angels classic 3-bore design in to a unique hybrid chamber operating system.
The front third of the 2 lower bores have been merged in to 1 chamber, to increase the volume of gas held in the exhaust valve chamber by 65%, which significantly lowers the pressure of gas used to propel the paintball, whilst substantially improving shot to shot consistency and accuracy.
The LPR has been fully re-designed and relocated from the front to the back of the main body. The LPR chamber is 80% larger and now sits directly beneath the Angel 1�s all new custom made 3volt solenoid, to allow direct air injection of the low pressure gas into the solenoid itself.
The custom solenoid then feeds this low pressure gas directly into the Angel 1�s super smooth ram, deleting the use of gas galleries and avoiding the use of small bore hoses, that restrict the flow of gas between the LPR, Solenoid and Ram.
These 3 core advancements in layout and design deliver, sub 200 psi shot pressure, faster recharge rates and an ultra consistent cycle pressure of 55psi.
The Angel 1�s electronic control system has been re-designed to maximize its performance advantages, whilst offering the most user friendly navigation system available on any paintball marker to date. The new Angel board is packed with more features and adjustability than any aftermarket offerings, whilst it�s intuitive blackberry style navigation system and multi coloured, crystal clear OLED display, make it incredibly easy to operate. In addition to semi auto, full auto and all major tournament modes , the Angel 1 comes with a host of user programmable ramp and breakout modes as well as a self diagnostic system that ensures you are always kept informed. The board also features a USB port, for easy at home software upgrades to conveniently keep your Angel 1 current with any software changes or updates.
These major pneumatic and electronic changes combined with Angels legendary build quality and an array of parts included as standard such as clamping feed neck, centrally ported easy bleed ASA, 3 bore size 2 piece barrel kit, 3 finger 45 frame with integrated mounting rail and comprehensive tool kit, sets the new benchmark for today�s high end tournament ready paintball markers.

| Review: |
So I bought my a1 stock from a guy on pbnation. It arrived in the stock packaging, a white cube box. My first impressions upon taking it out and holding the gun for the first time were Wow.
Straight to the review:
Strengths:
-Light, not quite as light as a SL8R, but light nonetheless. I'm used to A proto matrix, and it still felt light to me.
-Comes stock with a barrel kit. Some people go out and spend upwards of hundreds of dollars on barrel kits for their tournament guns. The A1 comes with a great, featherlight 3 back, 1 front kit; stock.
-Board. The a1 board is just plain awesome. An O.L.E.D window in the grip alerts you to the status of the Angel, for eye status, to game timer, to battery level. The settings are operated by a blackberry-style wheel in the back of the grip, right where your palm is located while shooting.
-On/off asa. The a1 comes stock with an easy to use on/off asa anodized to match the gun.
-Ease of simple cleaning. In the event that a ball chops, despite the best efforts of the laser eyes, All you have to do is turn the back knob clockwise, and the breech folds out, granting slide-out access to the bolt.
-Did I mention laser eyes? They look freaking awesome, they self clean, and are the best vision system on the market. Also, holding the trigger in for 2 second simply turns them on and off. Easy.
-Trigger guard. The a1 incorporates a three-finger trigger guard. It's large, comfortable, and perfect for those players who use three fingers to shoot. It's also a life saver to tournament players like myself, who wear gloves. It reminds me of the large trigger guard of An SL8R, something I really liked on that gun and this one.
-Price. These guns were upwards of 800$ when first released. A1's in great condition can now be had for less than 400$. I spent 365$ for mine. You can't beat the value for the money.
Cons (yes, but only a few, I'm an honest reviewer.)
-Feedneck. Something about the A1's feedneck just rubs me the wrong way. It's a generic q-lock knock-off, but It doesn't securely hold my X-boarded revvy I use for my ultra-light front player setup. That said, it does hold an Empire B perfectly, so some hoppers aren't a problem. It comes down to what you use.
-Low pressure Air only. This isn't a big deal if you already use low pressure, but if you don't , a new tank is in order. (the angel CAN be modded to accept High pressure air, but I've decided to save myself a headache, and just get a LP tank. )
|
|
| Conclusion: |
I love my A1 and would definitely buy one again. For the price the Angel goes for now, you absolutely can't beat the value. Great gun, Great job APS. |

| Review: |
The angel A1 has become my favorite marker so far. It seems every year WDP puts something out that surpasses past models. It's a heckuva lot lighter than previous models and it's new shape makes for a slightly different feel that you sometimes forget it's there. the new OLED is awesome and very visible in high lite and low lite conditions, and it's recessed location prevent's the settings from changing. The Provided modes are plenty and cover all major event types, ramp modes are plenty and programmable. There are a few things that will be missed from the LCD day's like the tempature gauge and the Rate of Fire counter. But with the boards programmability it'll allow for future updates to include it if WDP see's fit. The eye covers are a bit fragile to the unsteady hands but the new 3 piece design coming out should take care of that. I've seen some models that have had problems with the eyes alignment but I haven't had that problem yet. I've shot some of the most brittle balls like evil, from a cooler of dry ice with no chopping whatsoever. Over all it's the most perfect marker I've ever shot bar none |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it, Dont' waste your time drooling over markers that look sweet but shoot like crap. Everyone and thier brother has Marker X, be different and show them how much smarter you are than them |

| Review: |
I haven't had an angel since the IR3 and I have to say that angel has come a long way. I almost bought a g7 fly before I heard about this gun so I decided to wait. I bought mine about a month after it came out so thankfully, everything was worked out and I have had no problems whatsoever. I love this gun, it's so fast and so small. I went through 500 rounds today in my back yard just shooting at a box. I can't wait to go play with this thing. I have only had one ball break since i've had it and that was with paint that was over 2 years old and the battery it came with died a little earlier than I expected but that's no big issue to me. I haven't adjusted anything on the gun to help air consumption and I got about 700 rounds out of a 4000 psi fill with 1500 psi left over. I would defenitely recommend getting one of these guns. The help from Angel-owners.com has also been a big help. |
|
| Conclusion: |
buy it. $1200 for a gun, barrel kit, asa, and clamping feed all in one. How could you go wrong? |

| Review: |
I first saw this gun in a shop ad asked to see it from the shelf, and I then realized I wanted no other gun. It looked so cool and seemed like it had a really fast shot. I was amazed by its weight. The trigger was amazing and from the shelf, it was wicked fast.
I checked some reviews and it seemed like the best buy out there, so I went to go buy one once I had the money. The box setup was soo cool. I use it as my gun carry case jut because every little thing fits perfect. I aired up my gun and immidiatly started railing. There were so many different firing modes to choose from, all worked great.
SERIOUSLY, BEST GUN I HAVE EVER SHOT. PERIOD.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
To put it simply, if you are going to spend $1000 dollars on a gun, go for this one. It comes perfect from the box. No purchased upgrades required and you can keep upgrading the software or free from the WDP website. I would honestly never trade this gun for any other in the world!! |

| Review: |
I went to the NPPL Boston knowing about this new Angel 1 gun that was comming out. Upon going to Boston I made my way into the Angel booth to find out some interesting info. on this new gun. I went into the Angel boooth and asked some questions about the gun. WDP came on Boston NPPL with 100 guns in there truck and by the end sold them all out. The woman also went on to tell me that this new gun was designed to have no flaws out of the box, much like the Ego. Well in my opinion they did a good job. When I picked up the Angel 1 for the first time the first thing i noticed was how light it was. I was amazed.
Then, I wanted to go and shoot the new Angel 1 myself. I did and it was prob. lightest and fastest marker I have ever shot. I was barely tapping the trigger and the paintballs were flying. Then I went to go and check the internals of this gun. Its board looks much like the DM6 board. It is quite amazing. Prob. my fav. part of the gun, is the side Lcd. At first look I thought it was a little less than impressive. However, it rlly works for the gun, its different and I like it. Its a good size, and its very bright so you can easily read the modes.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
In conclusion this gun is worth the price. Its fast, reliable, light, and all around amazing. I would def. recommend this gun for anyone. Hell if I had the cash I would get one myself. And If you do have any problems WDP said they would fix it as fast as it can reach them and send it out just as fast. And at NPPL Boston Rage who shot it came in first, and Angel who shot it placed in 3rd. The guns got the number and the results...GO ANGEL 1 ROCK IT!
I only give it a 9 because of the price, and because I cant get one because Im poor. Great gun, it you got the cash, its got the Reliability!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Review: |
For such a beautiful gun, I unfortunately had nothing but problems with it.
I was very excited to get this as it was my first high-end marker, but here are some things I didn't like about it and led to me selling it rather quickly.
Normally I include PROs with my CONs, but there are a ton of people who write PROs, so I'll get right to what I have to say about my experience.
My god is this gun pretty. I loved how it looked and was spellbound by its lines and its feel. I have to say that I loved the envy on other's faces too... and let's face it that is something that comes into play when purchasing a $1200 marker.
I'm going to skip over the part about getting this out of the box and only being able to shoot 250fps... having to find a Certified Angel Tech... shipping it to him... waiting... and getting it back before being able to use it. The instruction book is top-notch! But unless you live next to a Certified Angel Tech, good luck fixing any serious issues. OK, moving on...
The Bad
1. Others may not have as much of an issue with this, but my A1 was a total AIR HOG. Using my low pressure 68/4500 I would use 1000psi per pod... so that means I maxed out at about 4-5 pod per tank fill. I've read at the angel-owners group forums that others have similar (if not so extreme) experiences. I really like shooting a lot of paint, and my local field (Pev's) requires quite a walk to refill your tanks. So this is a big thumbs down for me.
2. I broke A LOT of paint!!! Now some of this may have been my fault. After I sold my A1, I was told that my loader may have been to blame. I was using a Halo B with Rip drive and V35 chip. I wanted to get the best marker and best loader at the time. It turns out that the HaloB-Rip-V35 may have been pushing balls into the gun to fast or hard or something... because whatever paint I tried (high end, low end, everything except winter paint... it didn't matter) the result was the same. Breaking all day. So much for KISS technology. This made my playing experience terrible. I had a $1200 marker that can't shoot someone from 40 feet away because of the breakage! Let's call that strike two.
3. So, now that my gun is full of paint, I have another problem. The gun will not work well (if at all) with paint covering the eyes! The auto-cleaning blow back system is said to help keep the eyes clean, but that was not my experience. Though cleaning the barrel and breach are simple, CLEANING THE EYES OFF IS NOT. It does require removing the front plate on the gun CAREFULLY so you don't stretch the plastic out. Then carefully cleaning off the eyes and reassembly. You also have to get the new detents because the old ones broke way too easily. So, now I'm spending all my time cleaning my barrel while on the field and taking my marker apart in between games. NOT what I want to do while playing. I want my marker to work... simple as that. I don't want to have to think about it at all. Strike 3 for me.
Those issues made me rethink the PROs of "having the coolest gun out there". I decided to try people's second recommendation an 06 Eclipse Ego because it was basically maintenance free. (That sounded good to me at this point, since I haven't had a clean day of play since I got the A1... maybe I could give my squeegee and tools a rest finally.)
Let me say...
The Ego does not shoot as fast. It does not look as good.
It is however extremely functional. It gets 9-10 pods on a 68/4500 tank. It is super easy to care for. I've played with it 2x a month for 6 months (2 cases each time at least) and only had to change 1 detent. I've never had to take the gun apart for any reason. It works without issue every time. I simply screw on the air tank and turn it on... same FPS range every time... no adjustments needed. It also was easy to find barrel kits for it because it uses autococker threads (I use the deadly wind with stainless freak inserts).
|
|
| Conclusion: |
The A1 is an absolutely beautiful marker, but I didn't have a good experience with mine.
I truly hope the A1 you get works better than mine did.
I give it a 6 because I'm assuming that not all A1s have problems. But since mine did, and this is my review... I can tell you from personal experience that they are not all 10's (and for $1200, they should be).
I recommend purchasing a marker that has a little more function and a little less form.

| Review: |
Well, i got the angel one and was surprised to see how light and low profile it was. I finally got some air to dry fire it with, and was dissapointed with how much the breech shakes. i went out to play with it the first time and as soon as i put paint in it it shot a ton better. the breech shook alot less as well. however there were some minor bugs, like a few regulator problems that i fixed pretty easily. The trigger adjustments are definately not as easy as the g7, and i wish they would have stuck with the wheels. Though i wish i would have waited a little bit for the bugs to be worked out, i absolutely love this gun. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you have the money, wait for the bugs to be fixed and get this gun. you wont be dissapointed |

| Review: |
_--------->SPEED<-------_
Angel is like any other Open bolt marker. It has the ability to out shoot any hopper on the marker.
_--------->ACCURACY<----------_
Sucks if you try to over bore. Pay 80 dollars, get 6 barrel backs, and get good accuracy.
_----------->DEPENDABILITY<--------------_
Very dependable if everything is set up correctly (remembering to lock the breech because little Johnny opened it up...Tightning set screws for rail...etc...)
_---------->MAINTENANCE<-----------_
Just a few drops into the ASA and dry shoot for about 50 times. Lube every 2 cases and Grease every 15 000 shots.
For all those rumours out there...
------>Angel's rail is highly breakable<-------
The Angel's rail is not meant to be adjustable so just screwing in the set screws tightly will prevent twisting/breaking
----->Angel chops<-------
Make sure the setting is right. Set fragile for fragile paint, medium for medium, hard for hard. Usually i set my paint to:
Professional paint (3-5, Cooled down paintballs 1-2)
Average tourny paint eg. Draxxus bronze / silver (4-7 depending on drop tests.)
White box (7-12. Cooled down i set it at about 6)
---->Zomg for crazy chrono readings<-----
Make sure the paint is good and barrel is fitted
Break in the reg first
Use Joy/Rage settings
---->Kicks like a horse<------
Depending on what you're comparing the Angel to, it will beat most in getting less kick. Ego 06, 05, Etek, and open bolt markers, it will most likely win stock. Ego 06 will win vs Non JOY tuned Angel if it had a *delrin bolt pin, cure bolt, LAAV, Ti Rammer, and 2 twists on the LPR. Joy tuned angel will reduce kick next to nothing and that is still w/o those underground upgrades (Ti Rammer, Nylon/delrin rammer)
[SIZE="1"]*Does not have to be brand specific. Just upgraded will do the same.[/SIZE]
---->My Angel is Loud<-------
Like i said, use JOY settings. Better yet bring it to an Angel Tech. I paid about 30 dollars for the Local tech to get it tuned. I will say it greatly improves performance compared to other open bolt markers.
THE ANGEL I USED FOR THIS TESTING WAS A STOCK 2ND GEN ANGEL. DO NOT TAKE MY INFO SERIOUSLY AS EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN BIASES. IF YOU WISH FOR THE BEST RESULTS THEN TEST IT OUT FOR YOUSELF. ALL COMPARISONS ARE MADE TOWARDS THE OPEN BOLT CATEGORY (such as Timmies, Egos, Fusions, Borgs etc...). Only difference between open bolt and closed bolt is that Closed bolt gets a smaller splatter, open bolt is faster, and closed bolt has less kick.
Comparison of the Angel to the ego 07...ego 07 will win at everything stock and drive the angel to the ground upgraded.
Angel vs NXT...I will go with the NXT since it has equal efficiency, better accuracy, and less kick. Plus it has better upgradeability but stock it will do fine. Never try to tune your Shocker since it never works without a tech Q_Q |
|
| Conclusion: |
Since the Angel comes with European sized paintball bores, -1
80 dollars for 6 backs, I add 1
So many things to remember (breech, Rail...), -1
Evil Air coming out of breech, -1
TOTAL: 8/10

| Review: |
I rate this right there with dm6 and rapper. , fast, accurate
less kick than alias and lighter
Do this and it will stay a perfect 10. i can not tell you how many times i have been at a field and found some one thinking they are smarter than the ones making the marker.
1) Don’t Buy Garbage Batteries. No Ands Ifs Or Butts
2) Don’t Run Your Dwell Below 6.5. I Don’t Care If You Are The Smartest Physics Major In The World. It Don’t Work!
3) Don’t Lower The Lpr Below 6o. Just Don’t It Wont Work Any Better
4) If You Upgrade The Software On Your Gun, Download It And Follow The Instructions Exactly As They Are Written. Don’t Try And Be Smarter Than The Guys That Wrote The Directions. They Work As Designed. Insert A New Battery Before Flashing The Gun As It Uses More Power To Flash Than Using The Gun.
5) Don’t Try And Make The Asa A Drop Back Or Drop Forward. It Isn’t And Was Never Ment To Be Moved Forward Or Back. If You Do You Will Break The Frame. Evenly Tighten The Front And Rear Pinch Bolts To Assure A Tight But Not Over Tight Fit.
6) ALL Bounce Is Being Created By Customers Incorrectly Adjusting The Trigger Magnet. If You Remove Too Much Magnetic Tension From The Front Adjustment It Will Bounce. Make Sure you can Feel And Hear The Magnet Grab The Front Adjustment Screw.
6) Don’t Use Cheap Tools To Work On Your Angel 1. Buy Good Quality Ball End Allen Wrenches. It Will Make Your Life Much Easier.
7) Before You Assume Drop Off, poor Velocity, slow Rate Of Fire Or Like Issues Are Effecting Your A1 Check The Output Pressure Of Your Air System. We Cannot Even Tell You How Many Guns We Get In That Work Fine Only To Find Its A Below 400 Out Put Tank Causing The Issue. It Happens Every Day. Make Sure Your Tank Puts Out At Least 450.DO NOT ASSUME ITS FINE.TEST IT!!!
8) Proper Removal Of The A1 Eye Covers Requires Some Skill. De-gas The Gun; Remove The Exhaust Valve End Cap. Carefully Get A Pointed OR Sharp Flat Object Started Under Each Eye Strap At The Rear Most Part Of The Cover. Don’t Pull The Arms Away From The Body Any More Than It Takes To Slide Them Forward. Pull Them Towards The Front Of The Gun And Remove. To Reinstall Again, Don’t Pull The Cover Arms Any More Than It Takes To Slide Them Over The Body.
9) Optimum Settings.
Dwell---6.5
Loader Speed Halo 14 Velocity 16 ( These Are My Settings)
Max Rof Eyes On
18 Rof Eyes Off
Abs .25
Amdb (debounce)1-5
Semi
Min 450 Input From The Air System
Lpr60
Mini Reg Output 300ish
Please Don’t Try And Re Engineer This Marker. This Thing Will Rip It Up With These Settings.
Software Version 1.4 Old Reflash To 1.7 Or 1.8. 1.4 Has A Small Glitch With Ball Detection. 1.7 Repaired This As Well Corrected A Accidental Safe Mode Or Shut Off Issue.. 1.8 Included a 30-Minute Shut Down Mode To Avoid Leaving The Gun On Accidentally When Put Away.

| Conclusion: |
For the money this is the one to buy. this is my Favorite marker. to be fare my oldest who does some Tournaments loves the rapper and my 12 yr old loves dm6. |
