    IR3 Or Speed?

    I really like the space frame on angels... I was wondering if you guys think an ir3 would be that much worse than a speed. I know they changed all the internals around and that good stuff.

    Post if you have any comments or just to up it for me

    go for a speed so if you feel the need to upgrade you can put an A4 board in for about $200

      why do you guys think the speed is so much better? I know the internals were redesigned, but are they that much better? Same with the lcd functions.. i like the wow factor too. I might need to text message somebody when I'm playing

      the polls 5/5 for speed is why im asking

        I shoot an IR3 and have never held a speed. I have read in the Angel Guy forums of people having various problems with speeds. I have also read that to calibrate the paint sensor that you have to perform some voodoo ritual. My IR3 has been flawless. I have had to crono it twice in 9 months and 20 cases of paint. I have oiled it three times when prompted to by the gun. Other than that It has just worked every time and worked well. That is just about all you can ask for in a marker in my opinion. Also, I have broken one (YES Thats ONE) paintball, and it was a barrel break, to date.

            i just checked, 795, but guess what. theyre not in stock.


            i was probably going to buy used. there's a sexy red speed on ebay for 729 shipped, and a handful of ir3s for around 750.

              well, with the speed, you get the low pressure gimmick... nothing too important, but you know, the thing is there...

                I would go with a Speed. My team mate owned an IR3 and to say the least it sucked hardcore! Too many frustrating menu options, the eye doesnt work worth ****, its not as fast as a Speed. There are a lot of reasons to go with the Speed over the IR3.

                  Low pressure a gimick? It allows you to use brittle paint. How is that a gimmick? And it's quieter.

                    id say speed, because i hate the complexity of the LCD. The speed is also so much lighter, and thats pretty important to me. idk about the internals, ive had no experiance with them.

                        lets not fight about it. I just want to know that if I can get an ir3 for 600 and a speed for $100+ more, is the speed $100+ better??

                            Simply put...Yes it is the better deal..the IR3 isn't made anymore for one plus as already said above if you want fancy menus then put an A4 board in, debounce is the most useful of those menus, no shot buffering as per several other software installs some people don't embrace technology very well and to be honest if you don't know how to use all of the menus then unless they are essiential ie dwell etc then don't use them, my cell phone has lots of fancy things in it I don't use nor know how to use but the phone still works
                            IR3's, Speed's and A4's don't have eyes then have a ball sensing mechanism...COPS on the IR3 and Sensi on the Speed and A4 both very similar and both accurate enough as even with beam sytems they don't always work..as nothing is perfect.
