well beides the usual answer ur gonna get here, which is emag xreme(im gettin it). id say go wtih the matrix. ive been doin my homework combined with experience with the angel. UR PAYIN FOR THE NAME ANGEL, u get no real performance over the matrix. both have super rate of fire, but the matrix has something over the angel. it can pinch paint with the trinity LPR mod. what can an angel do? oh yea shoot fast and break paint unless u got a warp or halo. the only angel that is actually good IN MY OPINION is an ir3 because of the anti chop eye, but for half the price u can get a matrix that can shoot as fast plus wont break paint either. be different, save ur money, and get more performance!!! GET A MATRIX.

boooo wdp booo. Timmy is prolly the best bang for your buck around. Doesnt break paint, is as fast as anything else you will find, simple, easy maintnence, relativly cheap, well refined. I think id rather have an anti chop eye than pinch balls all over the place. its just a damn better solution, althought BOTH would be ideal. Between matrix and angel, matrix all the way, its just technicaly superior.

ok ok, i am gonna be different and reccomend the angel. You wont be dissapointed. Angels hold everything, status, tried and true reliability, and all that good stuff. i love my e-mag more, but thats all everyone ever says is get an e-mag. If you have your heart set, i say go for an angel.

Yah but why wouldnt you get an lcd, with the old stock matrix you still need to get a new inline reg, a trinity and a bolt kit just to have a decent gun, ive had 2 angel and a matrix so i know....

I say go with gz timmy or vision impulse above either of them......

Whats wrong with the stock matrix reg(centerflag BTW)?


IMO, of the markers listed, I'd go for the Timmy

The Extreme emag is everything you want, but since you narrowed it to a Matrix or and Angel. Go with the Matrix. Get a stock nonLCD with a rock reg(bolt kit is not needed). Matrix has much better velocity consistancy. Anyway thats just my 2 cents.

what ever one you get you will be kicking yourself when the extreme CC come out. Level 10 rocks.

Troy: what do you meen the bolt kit is not needed? Did they fix the efficiency issue? Anways from my exp. Matrices are huge gas hogs. Even with the bolt kit, it still wasn't the best on air usage. I admit the Matrix did shoot slightly better than my Angel and other Angels i've shot probably due to the LP operation however, I still prefer the Angel.

That varies on what tank you have. I get about +/- 5fps while my friend gets +/- 2fps with his Maxflow tank.

The stock centerflag reg is fine, the Trinity is an LPR upgrade, very much needed.

The Bolt kit is a must too, otherwise, the efficiency makes a shocker look good.

the Matrix is a nice gun, and it's easy to shoot insanely fast, but it's honkin big, and a gas pig, and very maintenance intensive (Get ready to grease your bolt every couple of times out, ata minimum, and it eats o-rings)

I'd go angel, much smaller & lighter marker, nearly as fast, much less maintenance, better reliability.
