Which Matrix

I am not really sure what I want to do. I love that viking, but I feel like I should have to do more with it. I mean I don't have to tear it down EVER, and that kind of bores me. What a petty gripe, huh? I am just thinking of trying out a something new to me, and to tell you the truth, I don't think my viking is going to go anywhere.

i would make the switch. my brother works for national paintball and he has shot the viking and my dye lcd matrix and he says he would take my matrix any day over the viking. he says my matrix has way less kick and is more accurate and easyer to rip on.

[afrankart]

I know matrices are smoother, but I just lowered my lpr, there is almost no kick. I really don't think I could possibly rip on anything faster than I can shoot my viking. I have shot quite a few markers, and I can shoot the viking fastest.

I don't know a thing about the Matrix, nor do I care to, But... for striking looks I would consider the KAPP Flame Matrix. I have seen every model in person, and they all look like crap to me, but the flames are very nice, particularly the blue to green fade on the nickel body.
Good Luck,
Brent.

If I had that choice, I would go with the MYX. Always sweet markers, and there are incredibly fast. I wish I had the money, the price tag reflects performance on these toys.

[M-a-s-sDriver]

I kinda dig this wierd one too.

I got an offer for my featherlite viking + 200 for an ironman matrix with c4mod and evolve bolt kit. Would you think this is a good trade, or should It be a little more even up?

Here is a pic of my viking;

I would want more of a straight-up trade, but then again, I wouldnt be getting rid of that thing, either. A matrix fan might tell you that its worth it. I thought the cost of both guns new were very similar, I cant see why yours would be worth less now, except for the fact that its not the "flavor-of-the-month."

[afrankart]

By flavor of the month, I am assuming that it is bacause it isn't an 04, right?

[pb[pyro]10261]

I think the dm4 is cool get one of those

[Steelrat]

No, I meant that the Ironman Matrix still draws more attention in the BST than a viking, be it an 03 or 04. I guess being an 03 might hurt it a bit, but those of us in the know understand that there is no real difference between an 03 and an 04.

The matrix isnt a bad gun at all, but its not going to be much faster, if any, and it'll certainly be more inefficient and require more upkeep. I can't see how anyone could expect it to be worth more.

As far as the DM4s, I had a DM4 owner come up to me, look at my plain unmilled black 04 viking, and say "I wish I had gotten one of those. This thing is a disappointment." That's all I needed to know about the DM4s.

My favorite trix would have to be the freeflows, just because I had a great experience with my freeflow cocker. I just wish they'd release the eyes, its beginning to hurt their credibility.

Well consider I shoot both a Matrix(LCD), FF Matrix, and a Viking I'll give ya my 27 pennies worth.
Free Flow Matrix: BAsically an awaesome marker. You can rip paint with it and have no chops due to the eyes and yes it has a debouce/forward pulse setting on it. Also you get an optical switch so for the trigger switch so thast an added bonus. Also you can't beat the Lifetime warranty/upgrades you get with it.
Dye LCD Trix: Thing rips paint albeit it can be a gas hog at times and yes Dye regs aren't the greatest but out of the box it rips. Yes it needs a trigger job. Maintenance wise you have to keep it well lubed and after lubing you have to shoot about 50-75 shots to clear out the grease.
Viking: Well what can I say I get a case a paint out of a 68/4500 bottle(Extremely efficient) and this thing flat out rips a straight rope of paint on a flat trajectory. Actually I think this thing just rips to fast I have my debounce on 4 and I can walk it like a pro. Only thing I don't like is you have to buy a tool kit to actually take it apart. Maintenance wise couple drops of oil before and after playing and your done.

Just my opinion.

If you are getting a trix, go with the ironmen hands down, most awesome gun EVER.

[Blazingace]

The new eye on the NYX is the same as all the rest now. The only difference between the NYX and the rest is the EGI board has the debounce. The milling is very nice on the NYX, but the Ironman IS lighter. No dead air chamber. Try both and see what you like better. Ironman all the way for me.

[Ryknow]

I say if you must get a trix get a NYX. They are crazy fast, and have tourney legal zip chips in them. Not to mention, they have awsome milling on them.. big skull.

Only real difference between Ironmen and NYX is the NYX is LED while the Ironmen is LCD.
