If your goign to look at AKA, why not look at the Excalibur? I'd take one of those over a Viking.

They cost several hundred more and are the same thing, just closed bolt.

I don't really feel like spending $1000 on a gun when I'm not even playing amateur yet...

Why?

I've owed both an Excal and a Viking, and three E-mags(Mircro, W/L, X). There are no noticable differences between the Viking and Excal during play. The Excal might be a little more efficient. But at the almost 500 dollar difference between the two, I don't think it is worth the money. So unless you beleve in close bolt gnomes, I can't think of any reason to get an Excal over a Viking.

As far as Viking vs. E-mag I really enjoyed both. I perfer the trigger on the E-mag, but other than that they are both very similar.

Put it this way, a Viking_+cash) is the only thing I can imagine trading my X-mag for

Emag and viking triggers are nothing alike imo.

That came out wrong.

Besides the trigger, they are both similar.

Fairly Light
Both Basicly Bulletproof
Both have good companies behind them.

The E-mag is smaller(shorter)
The Viking is more efficient

Excal = SLOW

the excal is slow compared to the viking or the emag.
I personaly prefer the viking over the emag.
I found the marker to shoot a little better than the emag, but i must stress that is MY opinion, not the scientific crap. I lowered the pressure on my viking and found that i could play all day with out a single paint break. i did not have eyes or even a halo. i was shooting approx 15-18 bps.
On an 88/45 i could play for GAMES as a back player shooting 6-8 pods.
just my 2cp worth
