Yesterday a guy at Topgun in NJ had one, he had nothing but problems withit. It was leaking like crazy. He replaced some stuff inside and was getting crappy efficiency. For one game it worked good and it ripped.

Well, name me one other gun that performs like a Viking for $750 (go ahead). You should try not basing all you opinions on a gun by how it looks either. I have experience with an Excal and a Shocker, the Shocker was much huger, heavier, and more brick like than the excal.

What the hell is spider talking about? He's saying AKA sucks becasue of their looks? That man is the model shopper for the paintball industry today.

Okay dude, AKA DOES suck because they look like bricks. That must be why you see all those people using them.

It's ok, once he gets his gun milled and anodized in a quadruple platinum fade he'll dominate the field.

Yeah I heard that milling and anodizing ups the ROF, increases range, and improves accuracy.

acctually i have a mag (possibly one of the ugliest guns there ever was)... and for 750 u can get a pulse with vision and the lpr.... who is everybody using them... static a top psp team dropped aka mid-season and i dont see many of the other teams in psp or nppl shootin aka guns.... o my the whole low pressure bandwagon.. christ get over the myths it isnt "too low pressure to chop" thats a bunch of bs i dont like aka other than their sidewinder

on to the overpriced... the viking and excal basicly exactly the same the difference excal closed bolt and i believe 20-40 psi lower opporating pressure.... is it worth another $500??

yea and i hear that low pressure is easier on the paint.. doesnt deform the ball when it fires.. wont ever chop.... its a marketing scheme get over it

sorry for the double post

[Steelrat]

Matter of fact, I don't think Excals are worth the premium, but thats another story. and really isn't what you said before.


Did I list low pressure as an advantage? Low pressure was not even a factor in my purchasing decision. And if you look at AKA forums, you'll see that it really is not a factor in ANYONE's purchasing decision. So how about YOU get over the whole low-pressure thing, hmm?

How about these advantages:

-Efficiency
-Very high ROF
-WAS board
-ACE for $20
-Lifetime warranty
-High build quality
-great customer service

I can't believe you even mentioned team useage as an indicator of marker performance. Please explain the absence of AGD products, or the use of spyders by at least one pro team. Very often, the performance of the marker has very little to do with how its represented in the pros. Do you even know why Static dropped their AKAs?

You mention that you can get an Impulse vision for $750. I fail to see how that is a better deal than a Viking with beam-break eyes for $760. And everyone is using it, so it must be a good gun? Therefore, guns which arent widely used (AKA and AGD) must therefore suck? Please!

And please don't consider me anti-mag. I love mags. Hell, I owned an emag. It just didn't work well for me. The Viking does. Maybe I'll give an X-mag a try...

Yeah, but for $750 the Viking is still a better gun.

-Smaller
-Faster
-Better Warranty
-Higher quality
-Less maintanence
-Less kick
-Tougher anodizing
-Far better efficiency

You my friend are the type that falls for hype. What other teams use should have no effect on your decision, did it ever occur to you that Smart Parts may have more spare money to sponsor teams with?

And like steerratt said, no one said anything about LP being advantageous. It's just a side effect of this well designed gun.

And cause everyone uses them, they must be great!

sorry, couldn't resist!

[raehl]

Mygun purchasing priorities:

- Least number of adjustments. Ideally, none at all because velocity is adjusted through input pressure; one velocity adjustment and adjustments for the trigger are ok.

- Least number of moving parts.


I shoot a mag because if I pull the trigger, a ball will come out. It may come out in two pices since I don't have my level 10 installed yet, but that's another story.


I have yet to see a game lost by 2 bps. I have seen plenty of games lost because markers will not shoot at all.

i'm sorry, i must have missed the part where we switched from talking about the sweet trauma trixes and switched to talking about AKA's and everything else. all i have to say is that both of those guns rip and look great too.

[oneshot]

-the drops are nitro duck's modular drops.

-I never had a problem with my halo , until my halo was at odyssey getting the rip drive installed after chicago psp this year, I was using a team mates halo-B and it kept shutting off, the rip drive would have been handy then.

plus they look cool.

another pic for ya

[Steelrat]

Yeah, I like those drops, they look like they are quick disconnect with that thar pin thingy.

They do seema bit tall, however. Do they make a shorter one?

[oneshot]

those pin things are nw disconnects, I love them and have a disconnect on all my markers, so I can switch my air easily.

the drops might look tall, but they are not bad at all, just about the same as an Angel with a angel air hooked right to the angel grip.
