    Matrix, Viking, or Eclipse Impy?

    I'm just wondering what are some of the pluses with some of these guns and the cons. I heard matrixs are top notchin accuracy, speed, no chops, but costs a lot and needs a few upgrades to get it working at top level. Vikings are even lower pressure, with more kick, cost less, no needed upgrades right out of the box, but is it as accurate as the matrix? and are those Eclipse impys any good in comparison.
    What do yall think?

    hell ya Vikings are very accurate. Very little kick. It's only about $50 more than a Matrix but it's well worth that extra 50 bux. It's one of the most efficient guns i've seen.

      never shot a viking, but i know i love my matrix. Feels Great when you shoot it, excellent trigger, doesn't chop, no kick.

        Eclipse Impy's are beautiful, the vikings are still kind of new and there isn't all that much information out thee about them. The Matrix is a nice gun but the upgrade path is a little restrictive. On the other hand Impulse's have atleast 3 different ways you can go. For me it came down between a matrix and a impulse, but if you look at the aftermarket Matrices none of them are very special or very upgraded for that matter. A matrix is kind of a dull gun to own. I don't know enough about the Viking to really comment either. The Aardvark Tequila Matrices are pricey but I don't see any performance advantage worth noting. The matrix LCD SHOULD be coming out in 4-6 weeks. Ohh and KAPP are currently finishng up K2 flame matrices, PBN had pics of them but they were deleted because KAPP said those pics were not supposed to be exposed.

            whats the difference weight wise? and the feed tube on the matrix looks like its up far on the gun. does that make it off balanced at all or just different feeling?

              Excuse me, I may have pics of the Flame K2 cocker but I respect the wishes of Sean at KAPP and I am not going to release them to anyone. If you wait naother 4 weeks Sean will post them on PBN for everyone to look at. They look exactly like the K2 flame cockers.....EXACTLY, nothing new. it's just had the design printed on a matrix body. Sorry I just had to clear things up because I received a couple PM's requesting pics.

                There's plenty information about them, what do you need to know about them? It dosn't matter if its new because it's by AKA and if you havn't noticed, AKA goes for quality not quantity.

                  VIKING!!!!

                  I would have to say viking, I seen someone shoot an excal yesterday and it was soo cool. I heard litteraly nothing... Those guns are realy slick. And not too expensive.




                  check out the vids and pics. They show how cool the viking is... I am planning on getting one later on... And you can get them at


                  They have unmilled colored ones for cheap if u check the bottom of the AKA page on MP.com...
                  You smell like dookie... No really though.

                      I have never used an impy yet, but i have used a matrix and a viking and i would have to say the matrix DOMINATES. The viking (new out of the box), chopped bad, and didn't shoot as great as i though, but the matrix shot beautifully, VERY accurate, very fast, and never broke a ball...so personally i like the matrix.

                        they come stock with a .684 ID barrel so if you use paint like PMI or Team Colors... no doubt your gonna break. If you use right size paint, you shouldn't break any because my friend likes to stick in his finger and fire for fun all the time.

                          A buddy of mine has a Matrix, He loves it, but when it goes down, it's like a cocker. It went down and he looked at it, said screw it, I'll fix it later. Out came the ReTro mini and we went out to the next game
                          Once you have shot and eliminated someone, you have established your position towards them. In a sense, the next move is up to them...

                          See ya in the dead box!

                            I know, im just saying seeing how the good the quality of the excal was, and the viking is almost the same design, I wouldnt mind having the viking...
