Angel Vs Timmy

[Dr David Banner]

Timmys feel too long as well - like sub machine guns..I like angles.

[boomerfoxtrot]

eye problems?

The classic timmys have theses problems....

most all problems that you hear about with the new timmys are user related...

WHICH will happen with an Angel... bushy... impy... if you don't take care of your gun, your gun won't take care of you.

Now, there are a few types of paint the timmy won't shoot... "CLEAR shell" cheep stuff... that's the only problems I have every had...

the trigger is like anything, you can get a stock 02.. or you can get a Dragon... or something... I haven't seen many stock angels that come with a tooth trigger, or turbo trigger.... most of that is all "add ons"

for the money you can't beat the GZ... CAN'T .
I have yet to chop a ball with my GZ... and it's seen more then 15 cases...

if you want to spend $1000 on a gun... why not buy a used LX Emag with warp or something... ?-) I still love mags..

[magman007]

yes, i agree, timmies also feel like tippman m98's to me, their too long IMHO

If your really worried about a working ace, one that can sence all types of paint, and are worried about chops if the eye fails, why dont you get an x-mag? just some food for thought, i know i appreciate the ace on my sfl.


Also, as others have stated, and i stated my self, timmies feel cheep. There nothing different than a bushmaster, olny timmies were made from old spyder bodies. Save your $$$ and grab an impy, or a bushy, or a mag, or go for the angel and go for one of the best markers on the market. It isnt the best marker for no reason is it?

[Cliffio]

well, everyone knows what im gonna say

but anyways

i dont like the timmy for the same reasons i dont like impulses, and partly because they are just a gun fad, a trend, that will end whenever something cooler comes out

where as the angel has been, and will always be a good gun, and popular.


hype has contributed(sp) alot to this timmy explosion, just like all this evil crap

anyways, back to my point

the timmys feel cheap to me, they are thin and too light for their own good, it feels like a toy, same with impulses

this is just my opinion, so i would rather not argue about it

i will always shoot an angel, because it hasnt done me wrong yet

[wyn1370]

try both, get the one you like better.

[boomerfoxtrot]

timmys feel cheep, cause they are too light? too small?

lol... guess it can't be all that bad... lol ...

[paintball8869]

i hear ya.......since when does it have to be heavy to be a good gun? is that why everyone likes the original emag? Wait that doesn't make sense, because AGD came out with the Xmag due to weight concerns......hmmmm

[Quiet]

I've used and pulled apart both , and I have to say I prefer the angel. While there are some similarities in their designs, I found that the angels fit together better. They use higher quality materials, whats used in the timmy makes it very light but I think at the cost of reduced durability, I have seen a lot more serious breakdowns with them.

In short I think the performance between the two is comperable (differing stories based on peoples taste) but I think the angel has better fit and finish and will give you fewer troubles.

[Klay01]

whats the deal about i hearing timmys use plastic? plastic eye covers but now made of aluminum and then a plastic handle or something?

[wyn1370]

handels are aluminum, always have been
the only plastic parts are the grips, bolt (derlin same as angel), and hoses

[Klay01]

can you get diff grips? like some dye grips or something?

That's just an ignorant statement lol. Using your same logic I could say that Angel came out with the IR3 due to weight concerns because it's lighter .

[mykroft]

The Grips are pretty non-standard, except on the GZ.

The reason Timmy's feel cheap is that between the crappy grips and all the stuff sorta bolted on, it seem flimsy. While other guns in the same range don't (Viking, new shocker, Angel, E-Mag)

timmy's look and feel like something that should be sold in the toy aisle of a supermarket. they do shoot super fast, but i would never spend that much money on a gun that looks so cheesy and feels so frail.
