I read it and don't get most of it. It seems alot of it is "text" stuff. i don't think that is really a big deal

[Load SM5]

"PERFECTLY BALANCED, THE REVOLUTIONARY 'STAY TIGHT' SPACE FRAME DELIVERS IMPROVED AMBIDEXTROUS FIRING ERGONOMICS WHILE OFFERING MINIMAL PROFILE TO YOUR OPPONENT."

Hmmm. Sounds Z-grippish?

[Gunga]

Sounds like a lot of 'gee whiz' stuff that looks good in an advertisement, but that most people will hardly ever use.

[FooTemps]

Will the new angel come with the z-grip? lol, we all know that answer. Of course not! They would want to sell it as an expensive aftermarket part...

[banzaimf]

I find the concept of "text messaging" on a paintgun to be.... amusing at the least.

Not being the engineer that the wdp guys must be I also have a problem understanding how the uni directional ball feed system will work withought adding drag on the paintballs.

also... seems like they are going to use the LCD to do all the functions of my PDA... Cool!

I wonder if I could load palmos 3.5 on it and play DopeWars.


I guess it comes down to... will they be able to deliver?

A expensive as it is, I would hope that it might have a few aftermarket goodies on it.

[nutz]

tom i think all of the new gimicks and bells and wissles are starting to get out of hand!

[Blennidae]

OK, I know zero about Angels other than they are expensive and electro. One line in the description had me wondering.

"NEW - SMALLER 14 WAY VALVE"

Is that a typo?

Maybe its just me, but isn't it more important to look at your intended target instead of an incoming text message? Unless of course you could send "feel that welt, that was from me" to your opponent...

[AngelBoy]

The smaller 14-way is so you can mill more towards the back of the gun. And to think we had always joked about bein able to send e-mails through Angels...

[Blennidae]

Angelboy,

Don't take this the wrong way, I am just curious. If I am way off base in any of my assumptions, please let me know.

A 14 way valve? A single valve that sends air in 14 different directions? I'm have a mental picture of something similar to one of those round hairbrushes with bristles sticking out every which way. Do you happen to have a picture of a standard 14 way valve?

Thanks

[Failure]

I doubt you could send text messages to other players unless there was something on it to send the signal. I think that the new features on it are great. Some may not get used by the masses but that doesn't matter. Lighter, smaller is always a plus. Better looking is too. The trigger is what interests me the most besides the 'anti chop eye'. Smaller 14 way valve may be so you can mill it more, thus advertising it as lighter. What they really need to do is stop making the guns from cheap british aluminum.

Failure,

Thanks for the diagram. I'm still not sure why it needs to be 14 way, but its not that important to me. It just struck me as odd.

something my father said

When i told him the angel used a 14way valve to run the ram...

dad- why a 14 way?
me- no one really knows, i figured someone gave em a great deal on a 14way so they used em

dad- is it british by ANY chance?
me- I think you just hit why they use a 14 way valve
dad- dang brits, I never could find a mechanic who could keep that ol MGB running right.... grrr


the opinions above are entirely my fathers (and mine really) nothing against british enginering, but anyone who will fly a plywood fighter in WWII well....

I know i know the mosquito was made in canada, but the british were the major users of the plane. also i know the plane was great, but for crying out loud, it was PLYWOOD!!!

lmao........ people will be saying "what other electros are there?" when it comes out. Its the BMW/Mercedes of paintball. I wish my car had half those functions.......

I think this is where the true 'personal' marker section comes into play. You have so much adjustment possibilities. Its like when you sit in a car, you adjust the mirrors, steering wheel, seat, etc to fit YOU. I think this angel will be a BIG plus in personal configeration. Its not just slapping on different parts that look cool or are 'better', you can adjust everything to the way you want it, the way you like it. The trigger adjustments is the main thing that sticks out in my mind, so that its the way YOU truelly like it. Its high tech junkie meets paintball junkie, along with the ability to fit your personal style , and I'm all for it!
