Which of these 3 guns should i get???

[RushA]

I hate yet love getting a new paintball gun, its good to get a new one but its so hard to decide on another one, It is between a LCD Matrix/ Blue Fly Angel IR3/ and a Dye Autococker with an e-blade frame on it. so if you guys could give me your opinions and info on the guns it would be highly appreciated, the more the merrier.

Thx

I had LED matrix with bolt kit and reg. It was very nicely firing marker. bit of airhog, and a lot of O rings to take care of. quiet and accurate. relatively fast shooting.

Angel overall is nice marker. robust and battle tested.

Like eblade/race frame cocker. (I like full mechanical cockers better, but I am old fashioned. have complete custom cocker, as well as blazer). eblade is bit of battery hog, but people who have them, love them. Dye cockers are very light, if that is a factor.

Frankly, all are excellent markers. I would check freeflow for both matrix and cockers as well. overall, try them all, and find one that fits you the best.

The Angel, always go with the angel. They are the best of the best. In case your wondering i don't have an angel so im not saying that just because i have an angel. Trust me the angel is the best,1. i pulled the trigger one time of this guys angel, and i tought the safe was on, thats how short the trigger pull is 2. they're the most technologically advanced gun in paintball 3.in the accuracy test at paintballstar.com out of 30 paintball from 25 yards away it hit everytime, out of the 30 paintball from the 40 yard shots it only missed one. thats unbelievable compared to the other guns that they reviewed on there.

I'd probably go w/ the dye cocker e-blade, and NOT because I'm one of those "buy-dye-because-it's-dye" people (I'm NOT). However, I haven't had the chance to use ANY of these guns ... try 'em out if you can, see what you like.

wow. can you say "fallen to the hype"?


personally, i have played with angels, though ive never owned one (getting one in a couple weeks, though..) and i wasnt impressed. its nice, yes, and i really like the IR3's frame, but it aint the best of the best.

(all previous statements directed at teen).


I would say its a toss-up between the angel and the cocker. i think i would go cocker, just cause i like fiddling with stuff. :)

[TheJester]

i hear the dye cockers aren't actually all that great, every 1 i know what has shooten 1 says they wish they performed as well as they looked

i would go w/ a fly angle

[FlagCarrier]

yeah, dye cockers come with pretty crappy internals. i would go with the matrix.

[darklord]

Matrix, baby!

Well, it depends on what you want in a gun. The matrix and cocker are more back-player guns. I think the DYE cocker and eblade would be on the expensive side, but it would be a pretty nice gun.

I'd say the matrix. Quiet, accurate, high rate of fire... the only thing you have to really worry about is keeping the o-rings lubed, and that you have quick access to air, as they are somewhat of a gas hog (maybe not so much after efficiency mods).

[brett]

If you can you should get a WORKS e-blade. It will have better performance than the dye and you have lifetime waranty with free upgrades.(when works comes out with diff parts)

[Reo5th]

I'm not a fan of the eblade at all. IR3s own. I know you'll make the right decision.

[Hunter]

go with the angle you will be very happy!

[rehme]

i like the matrix or the cocker but i am not a big fan of the Eblades i kinda like the races a bit more. the matrix is preatty sweet after you get the trinity reg and the bolt kit on it and it wont be much of a gas hog. i really dont care for angels my experience witht them has been to short of distance and not vary accurate but that is what it seemed like

[Ryknow]

first off you should play with all three first. I recently shot a friend's e-balde that just got back from Eclipse. The trigger pull rocks but has bounce because the marker kicks so much. Also the first day he had the frame it broke, doesnt show much for WGP or Ecipse.

Now onto Angels. Yes they are nice guns, yes they are fast, yes they are heavy, yes they are huge. I have played with several angels and even owned 2 or 3. They are not as bad maintenace (sp?) hogs as the e-blade would be, but are not as good as some other electros. I would take an impulse/e-mag/x-mag/new shocker over one ANY day.

Matrixes are nice markers, bit of an air hog though. My friend recently got a LCD Matrix and the efficiancy mods for it. Gets ok efficiancy now. But it is a very fast marker, very quiet. His is heavy as hell though because of his 68/45 AIR bottle on it.

My suggestion out of all these is none of them. Get a GZ, Shocktech or 2k3 Intimidator. Get a WAS Board, Clamshell frame, CP volumiser, and a nice barrel kit. You wont be upset. INSANELY FAST, accurate, light, looks good, and are way cheaper than any Angel/Matrix/E-bladed cocker. And all this junk about one marker being more accurate than another is poo. Its all paint to bore matchup. Another good option is a tricked impy. Good guns, there is just something about them I dont like. I guarantee you this, if you bust up in your local shop with a WAS boared clamshell framed Timmy, people are gonna poop a brick it will be so fast. Also the WAS board eye cans see black halves of paint.

Ok I'm done writing my novel, if you were to lazy to read all of it heres what I said:

Intimidator
WAS Board
Clamshell frame
CP Volumiser
Nice barrel kit

neither! get an x-mag and be happy.

[Kevmaster]

dont ever buy a marker without testing one first. I personally like my Xmag. I love it. Its a great gun, but ive got a teammate who owns an old LED angel and wouldnt trade me if i wanted to. he likes his ngel. is his angel better? no. is my xmag better? no. Its all about personal preference when you are talking $500+. You wont see a drastic difference between preformance of any of those markers, otherwise everybody would own the one thats far superior.
