emag

Timmy: nice marker, hardest to shoot fast, worst build quality, low maintenance, requires few upgrades.

Angel: Best build quality, middle of the road speed, lowest maintenance, upgrades are cosmetic only.

Matrix: Good build quality, incredibly easy to shoot fast, LED version requires upgrades (Trinity, Bolt kit, Gun 20 chip) LCD doesn't, requires regular maintenance (You MUST lube bolt evry 2 cases or so).

If you want a gun that you can just clean and drop a couple of drops of Lube in between sessions, get the Angel. You want top performance and don't mind giving it a good clean and lube every 2 cases or so, get a matrix. You want a stupid-fast bushmaster variant, get a timmy.

personally, tried GZ Timmy, owned an LCD Angel, settled on a Matrix.

Well my friends own emags and i personally own a hyper. I love my mag, dont get my wrong. Its just that i would like own another type of gun other than a mag. No offense mag owners, remember i am a mag owner myself. Thanx guys for the suggestions, and mykroft thanks for the breakdown.

Ok sure, WDP miniregs are MUCH higher quality than Bob Long Torpedoes (on the Intimidator), they can easily be used from the back.

Matricies are very nice markers too, I love the feel, just not the size. They feel kind of big to me, but if I were a back player I could live with it.

Intimidators just feel cheap, I'm not a big fan at all. Any marker that makes a different sound every time you pull the trigger can't be good

umm no. The Angel Minireg is one of the best regs i've ever owned. 292fps twice in a row, that says it all.

Those are all good guns and I too would have a hard time deciding so I will tell you what i personally would do. I would just look at all 3 of them and if you see one of those really really good once in a life time deals that involves any 3 of those marker, go for it.

The only problem I've heard over (never really been proved) is the angels main reg not keeping up with ROFs above 12 or 13 bps and having shoot down. I've never owned an angel, so I only have hearsay but they seem like really nice guns. Timmys aren't built too well, and they're basically a pnuematic spyder with lots of sick milling. Matrix's are really nice, almost no kick so long strings are soooooooo accurate. Look into vikings too, they have VERY nice efficency (1800+ from 68/45) very accurate and reliable. Same price range if you get a real nice one.

that would be false, or it would be on a different gun than an angel

I dont like my 2k2 Timmy that much I find it to be tall + it breaks paint mysteriously (will be figured out by Sunday) I think i am going to sell it and get an X-mag.

[DutchNut]

if ure timmy breaks paint jsut lower the operation preasure alittle like to 70 or u cna get a volumizer and drop ure operation preasure to 45 or below. Mine is at 45 and it WON'T chop lets say it can't chop.

My impressions after shooting each gun.

Timmy - Fast, long, and very light (almost too light, not to my liking). Not terribly impressed.

Angel - Fast, solid, feels very nice in your hands. Good low maintanence/reliable gun, but I feel there are better fish in the sea.

Matrix - Absolutely blew me away. Insanely fast, very low recoil, simple design. A little big and heavy, but not nearly as much as what people made it out to be.

Conclusion: I'm getting a Matrix this Summer.

You might want to consider a Shocktech Bushmaster, those are supposed to be one of the hottest guns that just came out, the board is also capped at 66bps so u can shoot as fast as you can pull, and the PDS is supposed to be a great anti-chop method becuase it uses a beam instead of a reflective eye so its not sensitive to different colored paint, you should check out this video (its about in the middle of the video) to see the Shocktech Bushmaster in action, if I had the cash, I would get one http://www.upressplay.com/login/inde...show_media=mov

I'd have to say X-Mag...sorry..I don't play by the rules...ask any of the mods...hahahhahahahha

i dont understand half of you people. Everyone that complains about the intimidator being too light is friggin insane. People complained the classic was too heavy, Bob made a lighter gun to please people. Now people complain that he made it too light? You friggin people are nuts.


I'd personally love to have a gun as light as a GZ timmy with an incredibly light tank, etc. But I shoot a ripper timmy and dragon because i like the looks of them (and that's the only difference between the upper model intimidators, aka non classic timmys).

And whoever said it was hard to shoot a timmy fast, maybe it is for you. I know a lot of people that are droppin their angels, emags, etc for timmies because they can just shoot faster on the timmy. Not that they're flat out better guns, but just an easier trigger setup/trigger frame for those individual people.


In this price range, as i believe was stated before, it's all about what feels better to YOU. We can't make up your mind for you. I'd like you to get an intimidator, i'm biased, so my opinion doesn't matter too much. I've shot them all and the timmy suits me, i rail on the trigger and have it setup for speed and consistency. I shot 4 cases at our tourney this weekend without a barrel break or chop. I chop like crazy with an angel (i can't even shoot the ir3 becuase of the trigger frame, feels way too weird for me). With the matrix, i just didn't like the trigger feel and the looks, it just looks ugly to me.


That's just my opinion, take it for what it's worth to you. Then go out and shoot each one, see what you like, then buy that. I think they're all good guns.

Well...don't really know what to say after that now...
