    LOL, Angels on the decline.....

    I was at the field the other day with like 20 newer players with 100 to 200 dollar guns. All of them were talking about guns they wanted and not even one of them mentioned an Angel. Now they are good guns and I have owned two of them, however I do think they have been over-rated/priced. It is nice to see other manufactures getting a piece of the pie

    anyways, newbies are all about hype and marketing, you can sell them a rock if you put the right amount of stickers on it, they look at all that new evil crap and think its something different than regular PMI stuff, the same way they will trash BE but wear JT jerseys and pants and masks, and use VL hoppers. look at the impulse, its soared in popularity, why? well they shoot ok and cost less, same reason the bushy was popluar a few years ago, it happens

    but yes i agree the angel has maybe fallen from grace a little, with the new impulses, intimidators, aluminum body emags, and the gobs of electro cockers it makes sence that the angel would loose a little ground, will they be replaced by all the pros? no WDP wont let that happen but will pros choose it over an angel? depends on what company "X" will give them

      Cliffio,

      Yep, I would tend to agree. However I think the biggest issue localy is that a lot of Angels were around last year but now only a handfull of ppl are using them. I myself have a Viking and I like it better than my Angels (not that everyone does) And I would definetly be shooting an Angel if I were sponsored by WDP (like I said I do like them).
      On the other hand it is not all hype, there are guns out now that are just as good as the Angel and for one reason or another appeal to different ppl. When the Angel first came out, it realy was the only one in it's class.

        Yeah.... the only thing I'd say that an Angel IR3 has over an X-Mag/SFL Emag is that nifty little LCD screen!

            Yeah but still, alot of newbies still think angels are the best guns. They may not be as popular, but they are still one of the best guns.

                  Thanks


                  I agree on that though. Aklump (i think thats the company) who makes Vikings and Excals are sooo under-rated. In my preference, I think angels and Aklump guns are the best. I would prolly choose a Excal over a angel (not an Ir3 though) but at fields, most people dont know what a excal or viking is nor made by, so they picture you as a n00b with a POS gun. Yes, I am a guy who likes to have a good image with a good gun, but still, with a Aklump gun, I think I would still probablly pick a excal or viking over any LCD. I wouldnt care what people thought, cause they would be off the field as my aklump owned them

                    Hmmm, well that's true though; most people I know that own/have owned an Emag want to sell them.... because "[the Emag] shoots too fast."

                    Ironic eh?

                      Yeah why would you want an Angel they hurt more when you get shot by them - I've heard this one alot.

                      There is only a handfull of Angels at my field, and 2 IR3's (I've shot both Ir3's liked them ALOT) However I would say the majority of the "high-end" guns out there are Imps, alot of visions an AI and a couple of nastys. The only reason more people aren't shooting angels is because now you have guns the offer near simmilar performance at lower prices. I wouldn't be surprised if WDP came out with an "economical" angel within the next couple of years. Like ICD did with the BKO

                          Hmmm, what I'm wondering is why at local tournaments do kids think a standard cocker has the edge over an E-Mag?

                            when i first started playing i thought angels were the best as well, but then i decided to actually do research instead of just assuming evrything the proshop owner said was true =)
