another famous what gun to get thread

[FeuerFri]

well i was really wanting to get an imp of some kind, but f' that. i hate stupidity and i will be damned if i give any of the sp ballzacs my money.
but if it comes down to it i may be getting eaither an angel speed or base ir3 or timmy or something cause i dont like icd's rep as far as cs goes. dunno if i want an e-mag or not though.

[No sKiLLz]

Yeah, I was going to get an 03 shocker for my girlfriend before the lawsuit came out...

NEways, if you're going to spend around a thousand on speed angel, you should probably take a close look at the new DYE Matrix coming out. It's an LCD with eye, aftermarket bolt, and LPR.

Ummm actually i take from my own experience with the gun and people that i know very well that have owned it before. The bushy works sometimes and works with semi good performance when it does. Its not to consistent and not to fast with the stock trigger ( the imp stock isnt good either). But the ICD customer service. I have known one bushy that has not been sent into the factory out of many. When they are there they go for a very long time. 1 month to 3 months i have seen and the one that was gone for 3 still didnt work when it came back ( regulator). I am just saying that my and others experience with them have been horrible and they always buy new markers. So why waste your money when you can get a good one the first time.

and btw noskillz that is not the new dye matrix it is just a annoed lcd with a dye sticker

What do you think the DYE Matrix is, genius?

[mrkbik]

A Viking is a great gun for the price range your talking about. I have a Viking and to tell you the truth, you can't get any better. They are super low maitinence, extremely efficient, extremely consistant, eyes only cost 20 bucks for them, AKA has great customer service and turnaround time, what more could you ask for?

But yeah, get a Viking. Haha!

Oooooo, that new DYE Trix looks spicy.

[Maksimus54]

Common now folks the impy is awesome and those shockers are insane. There is no replacement for a mag but sp has some damn good markers out there.

[bunkermaster10]

If your going to be spending around a grand and don't want to wait for the Dye matrix, then go to thematrixcenter.com. Get there LCD matrix, its all pimped out.

Or get a nice ebladed cocker. Or you can get a stock cocker for about 350 and eblade that for about 390ish.

If by "damn good markers" you mean "ripped off designs", then sure. I find there's nothing too great about them personally, but then again, I have yet to shoot an 03 Shocker (I was not impressed with the Impulse and older Shocker though).

It's not bad at all. For $1050 I think it's a good deal. I don't think it comes with the stickers, though, just the front LPR and inline and eyes (as if that wasn't enough). All DYE of course. Also notice it IS milled a little along the lower part of the body. Stock Matrixes have that extra dead weight (see figure 1). This is SUPPOSED to be (god knows how long I've been asking them about locklid pods) out next month, and around Christmas there is supposed to be a "mini" version available, but if your not in a rush, you might want to call the marketing manager at DYE and see how long it will take to get one of these. I mean, september is a week away.

guys he said he had $700 to spend..

If you want a low maintnence gun within that price range i'd say a Viking.. Maybe a hypermag but you don't like mags do ya :P.. I love mine though

What are you talking about??? Smart Parts would never rip off designs!!! I have never seen a design for a bolt like this before...


Except here.




BTW homeboy said Angel Speed, which is DEFINITELY not a $700 marker. That's why I was suggesting the DYE Matrix.

Go for an unmilled viking, 740 and you get a WAS board which makes it rip at 13 bps, get the eyes for 20 bucks and your only limit is your hopper.

[mrkbik]

Exactly, the Viking is the way to go. Also, the gun can rip more than 13bps, don't be worried, you just need a datalink to raise the rof.
