X-Mag vs Angel

[Kanuk]

i have been paintballing for about 2 years now and i have a basic spyder. i was thinking of upgradeing to an X-Mag or an Angel, but i did know which one was better for the money. what are the advantages and disadvantages of both?

Your gonna have to wait awhile for an xmag unless you can find one in stock at a website...

i would say go with a speed(angel). about 4-5 hundred dollars less, and i would say you get more for your money, but its just m.o.

its 100% personal. I own an X-Mag because IMHO its the best marker. However, there are TONS of people who will swear the Angel, Timmy, Trix are all tne best

[sliver1489]

definitely the xmag.

I'd say...
X-Mag, but that is just a purely personal preferance. One thing I don't like about the angels is that they use "cops" instead of an eye. If you can get an angel with an eye...it will be just find. When you spend that much on a marker...you should be getting a top notch marker. It just becomes personal preferance at that point. Hope that helps

I had an angel, I felt it had too many bells and whistles to justify the actual performance. Don't get me wrong, Angels are very good markers, they shoot fast, and accurate, I just felt like I wasn't 100% comfortable with it. As far as the Xmag goes, I bought it cause it was AGD's top of the line, and I have never gone wrong woth AGD in the past. Now that I have one, there is no doubt that I made the right decision. I do however, feel that while the Xmag is the best marker I have ever owned, it too has some uneeded bells and whistles. If I had to make the decision again, knowing what i know about the Xmag, I would prolly take a look at its older brother, the Emag. It has everything the Xmag does, except ACE(unused to this day), and a fancy body. Emags perform exactly the same and with LVL10 there is no chops, hence the no need for ACE. Which is better? Only you can decide. I know I made the right decision for me, even though I got more thant I needed.(which isn't neccesarily a bad thing) My choice is and always will be AGD over all else. Hope this helps.

hmmmm i wonder what kind of responses your going to get from a forum where they are mostly mags users. but jsut shoot both and see which you like better

[$tevo]

yea, try to get ur hands on both markers. it might be hard to find an xmag, but if u see on emag on the field ask to shoot it a few times. same with an angel. try to feel which is sturdier, more your style, easier for you to shoot, and so on.

I think some folks need a lesson in reading. The X mag is pretty piss poor for the money especially new. Angels are quite simliar in VALUE. Heck if you keep your angel for more than 6 months there will probally be 5 new ones that come out.

I would suggest you look at other guns, both listed above are pretty crappy for what you pay. I think there are some great deals out there for new guns that contain a great VALUE aside from what is "cool" or the "IT" gun. Look at a few electro cockers or vikings. Hell even the BKO is a dam good gun for <300 bucks.

The "it" gun right now would be an e-cocker. Seems like everyone and their mom has one. I'd say go for an Angel. Everyoen seems to compare their guns to them anyway, so why not get what everyone wants to beat? Angels come stock, ready to beat everything else. Impulse or Matrix...blah, you have to add so much to them to get them to work the way they are supposed to.

I'd say Speed. No worthless features that you never use, and it's already beyond fast, and ready to kick ***.
