I guess if WDP is making a scenario marker then woodsball must officially be "in" again.

I'm going to World Cup tomorrow so I'm definitely going to be looking at this one and the
Angel Eyes mask.

Heres a video with some info on it :





And one of it shooting 2000 rounds on a 68/45 ending up with 1000 psi left :





I'm not an Angel fan but I do like it.
Whatcha think guys ?

I think it looks like a fat harlet pimped out in biker gear trying to pick up a guy at a bar.

I'm thinking it's just the trigger guard. It makes it an angel, but just too light. Needs a big beefy, ugly trigger guard for one thing.

At least they finally got it out.

Looks like pretty impressive tech to me. The thousand dollar price tag is a killer though.

I agree, the price makes it DOA for me.
But just wait a year and you can get a used one for half price.
WDP stuff doesnt hold its value at all.

For Tactical I'll take my Etac any day:

Or if I want 2000+ tank I'll shoot my valhalla Viking:


Either of these will easily hold their value better, are infinitely more reliable and a way better purchase.

I know I know it's cool for the guys who want a tourney gone in the woods, but honestly I play with Desert Edge one of the best renown woodsball teams and they just run with egos. You don't need rails.
Its fun to have a tactical look but this angel is just fugly to me.

The AR:K looks great - I've had an Angel 1 for 3 years and it has never gone wrong on me, excellent marker with one of the best stock boards ever released - although the AR:K board looks even better.

I currently run a pneumag for scenario play, but tempted by the AR:K.

It's very small. I mean very small. It's an A1... it's small. Comfortable, but small.

I have no problem with the $1000 price tag... It's a tiny bit more than the standard version cost wise, to make up for the rails, stock, and this years model upgrades.

For starters, it's got a new board with a larger screen, and a microswitch rather than optical trigger. With the new Booster2 bolt it will shoot a case and a quarter off a 68/45, a feat that can't even come close to being matched by markers the <$1200 range, while the NT, Geo, and Luxe won't even shoot a case. It'll run off just about any input pressure, too; until the AR:K that wasn't possible. It's apex-ready out of the box, and the stock is collapsible so it travels very quickly between the woods and the field (if you're really anal you can remove the stock and rails).

You'll be able to trade in your stock opti-board for a $50 credit towards a Mojo (AR:K) board for your A1. That includes grips windowed for the larger screen.

Yes woodsball is in again... All you need to do is add a few rails and a nockoff AR-15 butt stock and you now have a $1000 woodsball gun, that was once a tourny gun and can still be a tourny gun... In all honesty you need that kind of fire power even in woodsball lately.

SPRAY AND PRAY all the way...
ACCURACY BY VOLUME...

I personaly will never pay more then $900 for a gun ever again. hell i wont go over $400 now. I'll keep fixing peoples fubars and resell them, or keep them....

An A1 Fly is $900 new, $500ish used in good shape, $400 in not-so-good shape. A standard A1 will run you $250-$325 used, $325-$450 used with Magno internals and Fly software.

Snag yourself a standard A1 with a bad ram and iffy finish for $150, magno, boost and mojo it, and you can have yourself a <$400 marker performing to the exact standards of this new AR:K... Probably under $350 even. The nice thing about Angels is that they come from the factory with max'ed performance; the only "upz" they sell are genuine upgrades, like better rams and bolts that significantly improve efficiency and durability, no "magic" modifications/weight savers/"gee that's pretty" parts.

i cant use anything but this in the woods, but they always ask me to use a different gun after a round or two .


I love angels so i think a wood ball version is sweet. The price is fine. after all i never leave my markers stock and the AR-K angel seems pretty tricked out right out of the box.
