Vikings, X mags, Eblades, and Timmies...

[Steelrat]

I like vikings and eblades. Right now I have an 04 viking, and Im building an Jackal RDL Eblade.

Timmys are fine guns. Im not a big fan of their build quality, and the whole hose-and-barb setup inside strikes me as cheap. But they are undeniably fast, and light. Id take an eblade or a viking ahead of one any day, but what matters most is how it works for you.

I'll be at FSL in ramsey thursday night for a practice. Probably 6-9pm or so. Maybe I'll see you there?

notice, not one word about xmags...

[RRfireblade]

There's no factual reason to NOT get any of them besides the differences in cost.

They're all fine performing guns and equally unique.

This would be just another useless discussions/arguements that are based purely on what EVERY gun discussion is based on......

PERSONAL OPINION.

Shoot 'em and then buy one.It's not a life altering decision.

Well, I don't want to get flamed for saying anything about the X-mags However, I do not feel they are the best guns out there. Best looking, maybe, but definately not the best shooting, especially for the money. I gave emags and xmags two chances to impress me, and they didnt. For the money, I believe you can find markers that are faster, ligher, have a better ACE system, and are more efficient.

If you need to go the xmag route, I actually like the ULE'd emags. You can get them cheaper than an X, now that all ULEs can be bought new, and can actually end up being ligher than the X. All you lose is the ACE, which most X users apparently disable anyways.

But, in the end, some people will prefer shooting the E/X mags, which is fine, because everyone has their own tastes. And some people can rip on em. Just not me.

Timmy Customer Support > Viking Customer support
Timmy weight > Viking weight ( for god sakes man, it's another freaking shoe box shocker)
Timmy size > Viking size ( ditto with the shoe box)
Timmy speed > Viking speed ( Don't say that cps is faster, only way people have been able to get them to shoot faster is with hacked FA boards and a god damn vibrator)
Timmy looks > Viking Looks ( Since, as Ryan Greenspan said, better you look, better you play)
Timmy price > Viking price

Oh, by the way, I'd have to say Any Matrix with a evolve bolt kit and Egi eyes will outperform any of these 4 guns, ANY day.

Wow.
Have you ever had to deal with AKA's customer support? I have and it was excellent. Remind me again how long the warranty lasts on a timmy?My featherlite viking weighs LESS than my teammates GZ timmy. It is also shorter. If you like shooting a marker as long as a 12 ga pump, that's fine. If you say cps doesen't matter, why did you give the timmy the advantage. Higher CPS = higher possible rates of fire, no doubt about it. And Yeah, timmies are such a better bang for the buck than vikings, too.

And to securely place your foot in your mouth, do you want to explain how a matrix with x and x upgrades will outperform a viking in any way. I would love to hear it.

[Crazy]

CPS doesn't matter because when you put FA boards in them, it might go faster, but with a human pulling the trigger, Timmys easily outperform vikings.

Length? have you ever played airball boy? Going to put a dz3 and a 5" speedball barrel on your viking? length matters and is an advantage. Hence why most nppl/psp players use the 16" nowadays.

What does your friend have as a setup? a 114/4500 Apoc tank and a dye SS barrel?

Matrix-egi eyes > Any eye ever made
-Evolve bolt kit = 2100+ shots per 68/4500

Edited out - If I see that kind of flaming statement again I gonna give you a three day. That is not how we act on AO - cphilip

Tell me where the FA board or the vibrator is.

I play airball every week. I have a 12" barrel and a rail drop. Yeah, superduper long setups are awesome for us small front guys.

He has a 68/45 centerflag and a titanium longbow.

"Matrix-egi eyes > Any eye ever made" Way to go prove your ironic previous statement with a solid opinion.

Yeha, nice mouth comment too, grow up. This isn't pbnation and you don't have to get all pissy when someone questions your opinions.

[personman]

While intimadators may be nice guns, I feel that they are extremely overpriced. I think that $600 would be reasonable for a brand new timmy, not $1k. I cant say much about vikings, but it seems like Timmies and Vikings are the big fads right now. Xmags are nice, the only thing that can honestly be improved on them is effeciancy, IMO. I havent shot an Eblade, but I pulled the trigger a few times on one at DDay () and meh, it wasnt for me, not to mention cockers dont like me, and I dont like them.
Everyone swears by vikings now, I'm not sure why, I guess I'll have to try one sometime. They look kind of ugly though, I dont know why people obsess over (OMG) IMMORTAL VIKING! LOOKS JUST LIKE THE STOCK VIKING WITH 2 PLACES MILLED!
I remember when everyone was complaining about how shoebox like the old shocker looked. Then they go out and buy a viking

[Crazy]

lol... you get a guy fanning/raking the trigger? that harldy sounds like 40 cps as it is, i'd like to see that douchebag try and shoot like that in a game and actually hit someone.

12", woah man, way to use the bunker to your advantage... you must not win much or just play recball.

no crap it might be heavier, you have a 12" and what size tank?

yeah, my opinion followed up by the evolve bolt kit statement.

Edited out. Your going to be banned I can see it now - cphilip

[nastymag]

dont listen to crazy ....

he has his opinions... like his decision to listen that emo crap called jimmy eats world.

i want to see how many "FRONT " players actaully use 16inchers ? not many

most front players use 14.
the new vikings weigh a little less then 3 pounds.

they both use WAS boards.

and are there ANY timmys for less then 900 bucks ... not new. you can get new vikings for alot less.




Timmys shoot nice, but are not the best out there.

[afrankart]

Fanning, raking, whatever. He did that with his fingers, not a vibrator. Oh, it was sould analyzed at 39.7 cps. Regardless of the actual speed, show me atimmy, wait ANY timmy rip that fast.

Yeah, I am part of a 5man recball team. Not every speedball field in every tournament we play in is airball.

We have the same length barrels and the same size tank. On a digital scale, my viking weighs 1.3 ounces less than his GZ.

[MicroMiniMe]

Please don't feed the troll. He gets his 3(?) day vacation on his own just fine.
No cussin' says the mods.

[Steelrat]

Frank, dont sink to Crazy's level. He plays the "angry man" schtick, as if it were truly original. Theres a few like him on every forum. He hates Vikings with a passion, and will do anything to badmouth them. His days here are numbered, as he cannot control his juvenile outbursts. I think he has had enough 3 days to warrant a permenant vacation.

Its easier to shoot a timmy or a matrix fast out-of-the box. There is a little learning curve on shooting the viking fast, but not much. When timmy guys are making comments to me like "What do you have there, a MAC-10?" then you know the viking cant be all that bad. The truly difficult guns to shoot fast are the emags and the eblades, which require more skill to rip on.

As far as looks, I view the marker as a tool to play. Its cool if it looks flashy and cool, but I actually like the purposeful simplicity of the viking. I also like the exposed mechanicals of the cockers. To each their own.
