Yeah the breaks kind of oozed out the gate like the thing was bleeding. I prefer my X-Mag out of any marker I own. I'd list them all but it would take too long and I need to get back to work :-)

hehehe!! Yeah I've just played the DMA Millenium event in Amsterdam. (came 4th Pro!!) No breaks whatsoever. This is the best marker I have ever used. No offence to any other markers but they ain't a patch on the mag. Oh and I was gonna ask... where did you get those custom grips....?

The dwell setting is only variable in that the user can decide what setting they want...it is not auto sensing regards to dwell, the sensi settings has a sorta auto built into it but NOT the dwell. You are thinking about the claims made by Smart Parts for the new Shocker/Nerve...that all being TBA, as the Shocker '03 is alledged to being launched at Toulouse.Originally posted by nippinout
When does the Angel SPEED kick in the varying dwell times?
Is there a way to disable the varying dwell so it is constant no matter what the bps or time between shots is?
Can the user change these settings? Even with it locked out to the player, changing stock parts would affect the velocity.
Spring in a Speed? Where is this spring? The trigger for the Speed has NO spring for the trigger return and it has an extra grub screw for adjusting the trigger that previous Angels didn't have...if you mean the thin "slightly" sprung strip of metal in the electronics housing then I guess you could call that a spring as it does bend and then return in a manner very much the same as a spring...LCD's and IR3's do have a spring in the trigger assembly though many people remove them in the IR3 or put a softer one in its place.Originally posted by Cyberious
The X-Mag. Since the Speed has a spring up there it is a little stiffer to pull. I have finally been able to get up to similar ROF on the Speed though but it does take a little extra effort. I'm going to try and do a torture test this weekend. (This entails running 3000 paintballs through as fast as I can only stopping to get more air). I'll do it side by side and record the number of breaks if you are all interested.

You are correct. I did notice there wasn't a spring like the one my wife's Dark Angel has but the little strip of metal that engages the microswitch in the grip does have a similar feel to it. Bottom line is that it does make it feel a bit stiffer than my X-Mag's trigger setup. So is there a way to adjust the paint sensor to lessen chops? I did run throught the steps in the Manual but that didn't seem to help a great deal.Originally posted by MarkM

That'd mean I'd have to buy more markers. Don't know if the wife would like that. I'd also need more room so I'd probably have to drop to one Drum kit. (I have two kits setup in the same room I have my Paintball stuff in). Thanks for the vote of confidence.WANG Force!

However the flat piece of metal doesn't engage a micro switch, it breaks an infra red beam, there isn't a microswitch in a Speed, the first IR3's had a microswitch, then it was changed to the opto board. The trigger return on a Speed is anything but stiff....I personally would prefer to have a spring in the trigger but thats just me I like to "feel" the trigger, wierd magnetic floppyness (only way I can describe it sorry not meant as a flame) isn't something I like. The paint sensor...are you still talking about the Speed? As after you have set the marker with the paint you are using for the day the sensi setting is down to the user to decide as to what level of sensitivety it has or not to use it at all.
