    I agree with phil on all of the reasons to go with angel over emag.

    My story:

    Bought 2k dark lcd, then traded it for an emag with emagnum about 4 1/2 months later. Got emag: heavy as hell, somewhat uncomfortable ot hold, didn't balance well, and shot at an ungodly high pressure. Then my emagnum board fried, i said to hell with it, and sold it. Bought a fly ir3 with cops 2, soooo much happier with it than my emag. The ir3 is such a great all around gun, everything is thouht out and the build quality to it is very very good (intella feed, internal ACE, change settings with a pda, etc). IMO, angels are all around better guns.

    Thanks

      Good call, the RT trigger is just so much nicer to shoot, not to mention that I now have the rep of "old school baller" around Rexplex cuz of the RT

      Angel/Matrix and RT...if you have one of each, you'll never go wrong!

        I dont own an angel (yet), but since my emag has be given me problems, all iv wanted to do, is get an angel. So I just decided to get one, this summer.

          Owned a stock E-mag. Shooting performance was very good, velocity fluctuations were non-existent, but bad ergonomics - felt heavy, unbalanced poor flat grips, and battery would not hold its charge after a week. Sold it, waiting to get a ULE E-mag.

          Have a stock 2002 Angel. Very compact, light and comfortable. Performance was lukewarm, but found that it is likely due to poor quality control out of the factory - fried board, leaking ram, not tuned properly. Sent it to Angel Guy for a full tune up. Feels much better, waiting for spring for field trials.

            I have tried many mags of all different size and shapes, but none of them will ever compare to an Angel in my opinion. I would choose my IR3 over any mag in a heartbeat...Angel all the way.

              Ahhh, but there's the flaw ..lol.. I flick the switch on my Emag and "blammo" ... I have an RT trigger with smoother return/etc to it .... then if I want I can just remove the battery and "happy" .. pure RT (again with the smooth magnetic return) ... still got the RT packaged into the Emag

                  Even though i dont have an angel my 2 team mates just bought brand new ir3's. I myself own a micro emag with level 10. Now i thought to myself wow these things (ir3) are gonna rock, well they should being they cost 1400$. Now i will admit the milling was cool and they were extemely light (compared to my nickle plated mag). But as for performance, it was less then expected. In no way was it any better then my mag, and even suffered in comparison to range. I couldnt shoot it fast either because of the weird trigger design, but that was prolly preference ( i just love magnetic triggers, they are hella short). As for the 90 degree grip, it dosnt really help any being the tank is attached to the bottom of it, preventing it from being held in the matter it was designed for. Now it does have a lot of settings if your into that kind of thing but no matter what setting u put it on u cant stick your finger in the breech and fire away. The angel is more effecient (not by much) but who cares u get free air with your field fee. So my vote goes to the mag, (its easier to fix too)

                    I'd like to vote e-mag. But since I have an IR3 now, I need to learn the IR3 trigger and make it become part of me like my e-mag was. So far, with the 4 outings i've had with my IR3, i'd say the E-mag would get used more if I didn't have to shoot the IR3.

                      I'd say it's like this:
                      The Angel is like the Land Rover of paintguns, one of the best for sure, along with the class. Very reliable and lots of features.

                      The Emag is more like a Humvee. It's heavier, not as pretty and doesn't have all the nice features. However, it is still reliable and just as capable.

                      I say it's a preference. I love my .68 Automag. I love all the Emag's I've shot. I wouldn't take a stock emag over my Angel, I would take an Xmag though...Like I say, I think its just a preference.
