Speed...and not just because I have one...

...I prefer the angel over the e-mag...

...first its $5 less
and then its way freaking better on gas...seni works great...lighter than e-mag...can get even a LOWER psi with volumizers...so much better than all other angels (besides A4) with all its stock uprades (smaller bolt/faster than an e-mag 30bps/comes with a sensor/more gas flow/5 modes of fire/and angel speed has 60% less valve dwell=fast!)
3 point adjust ment (front back and where the gun fires )...


...most voted for e-mags cause after all this is an AUTOMAG forum...

As a Viking owner (on my second, now a '03 WAS'd half-mill) and a 3.2 ULE Emag owner I say go with the Emag without a question. I believe they now come ULE'd and with the Xvalve. You won't ever need an eye with level 10 and it (with 3.2) is fast enough that with you pulling you couldn't top it with the Viking. It is lighter, more reliable and easier to maintain. Here's why I've said the above.

My current Viking (bought in August and lightly used) has already had a LPR go bad. Also my SCM has been crap since I got it. AKA is having some quality issues right now.

The gun can still chop with eyes - did it this weekend when using my revi due to a HALO failure. Had 2 chops. Don't chop anymore at all with the Emag+level 10.

Vikings are now having a SERIOUS FSDO PROBLEMS. It is affecting a number of users, is getting worse during the cold, and AKA is still trying to figure it out. The Emag will NEVER suffer from FSDO.

The Viking supposedly only requires 2 drops of oil to maintain. The truth is that to properly service and tune the marker you need an additional $50 dollar tool kit. You CANNOT take the Viking apart with out their special tool. Heck you can't even properly adjust the LPR without it. The mag does not suffer from this. Some people will say "who needs to take it apart - it never breaks." Well, my LPR and recent ram issues show that you WILL at some point need to disassemble the marker - unless you like shipping your gun halfway across the country to let someone else fix it. Further more the Viking has several "systems" which can fail. Ram, LPR, main reg, and electronics. The Emag has 2 - maybe three depending on how you count. The valve, electronics, and possibly level 10. The electronics don't count due to RT manual mode - so that leaves 2 to 4 - with one of the AGD being user serviceable - the reg. With the Viking (since they don't sell parts kits) you have to wait till it breaks to get replacements. The Mag valve can be rebuilt in as little as 10 minutes and you're back on the field.

My Viking is my backup marker due to the current issues - especially the FSDO. (see PBN AKA forum for details) The only time I would unquestionably choose it over the Emag is if I knew I would be unable to get a fill after 1100 rounds - like at scenario. Otherwise I get a fill in the morning and 1 at lunch, and that carries me through a case of paint and then some with the Emag.

ule 3.2 emag is lighter than a fly angel and an xmag
we aren't talking about a generation 1 ss body emag

emag and viking tied for #1

speed is fast but just ok,for the money you can do better.

just my personal oppinion your best bet is to shoot them and see what you think
