    I made a new friend over the weekend

    I know this is a mag forum and all but I just had to show her off. My new A1, I used her over the weekend when I dropped my tac-one in the woods and broke off the asa/drop forward. She is a serious piece of equipment, simply put I am amazed at what she can do.

    Did you buy it spur of the moment?

    Anyway I wish you best of luck, the A1 is (no offense) the most problematic of the angel line. I hope it works for you! Good luck!

      I did buy it spur of the moment, I had no intentions on getting a new marker over the weekend. It was just there, hanging on the wall calling to me. I have always wanted an angel. Out of the box it has performed WAY better then my Tac-One (pre dropping it in the woods of course). My Tac will still be #1 go to for woodsball, but if I go out there and they put us on the speedball field, its A1 all the way. Im usually not very impulsive but for some reason I just had to have it.

        Please define "dropped" for me. I have a really hard time visualizing a drop that results in breaking off the drop(forward). If by "drop" you mean off the top of a really tall building, or "drop" as in all your body weight on top of it while tumbling to the ground I could see it......

          what I mean by "dropped" was I was running full speed, tripped on a log and my tac-one flew out of my hands smashing into the ground while I landed face first into the ground. The impact snapped the ASA that was connected to my drop forward clean off.

                  out of all the newer electros I found the A1 to be the most confortable to hold. However I don't need a new electro I'll stick with my 06 intimidator...for now.

                      You are both wrong. That is a relatively easy shoop. I want video of the actual fall/drop. YouTube it or it didn't happen

                        if a tac-one falls and breaks in the woods and nobody hears it....did it really happen?

                            Sunjess,

                            That suxs about your tac-one, but it looks like you more than compensated. The A1 is a great gun no matter how many knocks you hear on it. I have shot many w/ no issues...light, tight, fast, and accurate.

                              I think the A1 is THE best electro out right now, once the mango internals come out your going to have a hard time choosing between the tac-1 and the A1 :P

                              Also I'm going to have to demand pictures from you

                              How much did you pay? Because I coulda sworn that replacment ASA's are cheaper than the A1....
