    As of now, several companies are working on an ACE for the Trix though (they should be out before the Summer).

    I've only seen one Trix at my field ever, and I jumped at the opportunity to try it out. After running some paint through it, it has become my favorite gun. There is almost no kick at all (the only gun I've ever shot that has kick as low as my Cocker), it is very quiet (may not really effect performance, but it's nice to have), very consistant, and incredibly fast (as in, I could shoot this gun faster than any other one I've ever held).

    Stock, they are horrible gas hogs. However, a bolt kit can bring the efficiency up to my minimum standards (further mods can make it a little better too). Once again, companies are working on even better bolt kits right now that should give the Matrix better than average efficiency. Honestly, it's size/weight didn't bother me one bit. It's still nowhere near a Shocker in that department (I'd feel comfortable playing the tape with one). It is rather leak prone if you don't lube the bolt right, but leaks are about 95% of problems that the Matrix can have (not to mention, if you know which o rings do what, you can fix any Matrix leak in under 4 minutes).

    This Summer, I'm trying to decide between a Freeflow Matrix or a Viking (Sonic Bushy and Hybrid are also considerations, but they just are a tad behind).

          I REALLY doubt that.
          You may believe what you may. I'm not saying that he was actually shooting paintballs at this time, but the LCD trix has a b.p.s. counter on it. This will tell you the highest points that you hit while the gun has been turned on. This is not to say that he sat there for 10 seconds at 25 bps, but at one point he hit that mark, and the gun sputtered, then resumed firing. No i don't have a video camera, or sound whatever to prove it, i don't quite have access to that equipment, so you can believe what you want. Take me at my word, or discard it, all i'm saying is what i have seen on the LCD display.

              That's not to say that it couldn't go 25 bps, it is what the board is capped at. Put a hopper or loader like the warp or halo on it, and it very well could go 25 bps.

                This reminds me of earlier today I wen to Warped Sportz KC for the first time (I dont get out too much ) And I was lookin at some guys matrix that was layin on the counter. I wasn't sure what it was. Body resembling an angel without all that milling and other crap. Yea. But the trigger looked nice. I also can't diss that red anno, eggII, and lice tank that gun had. It made my mag look like a pussy. eeeek! BTW, anyone know that this gun is? A kid was having his tuned. It looked round like a mag body but fatter, black, double trigger, the dude was walking the trigger pretty fast(I'd say at least 10bps). That's all I know. I think I've seen one in a magazine before.

                  As far as I know and have heard the counter on the board is similar to the counter on the Angel. It doesnt average your speed or read the speed for a whole second. It gives you the rate of your two fastest shots(which throws everything off).

                  My comment was not to suggest that the marker could not do 25cps, it was that someone fanned the trigger that fast.
