AKA warranty > everyone elses

no its not. I just sent a viking over to AKA and managed to rack up 63 bucks worth of stuff that needed to be "fixed." Nice warrenty!

I start two posts in the last couple days and both spawn arguments. Sorry about that.

Gtrsi,

What did they charge you for, the labor? Or wear items that arent covered?

well from that statement barrel size doesnt mean anything say i have a 6 inch barrel on my marker and i play just as well if not better then every other player on the feild that would just prove your statement false. but for practical reasons like accuracy and a recommended 8 inches for accuracy 6 inch barrel would be useless

what im trying to say is anything extra on the marker is all personal choice and playing style just like the gun it's self so sure some markers have better efficiency and some look better and some feal better and heck some are know to be softer on paint then the rest but one guns negative out ways its positive and bascially evens the playing feild for all top end markers....


and why hasent anyone said anything about an angel?

Longer barrels (16") can give a distinct advantage on airball fields.
And yes, why hasn't anyone mentioned an Angel? ACED or even HK angels are very face/efficent/reliable.

regarding angels...

But what about consistent in long strings? I've heard bad things about WDP regs.. Maybe it's changed, but I don't know enough about them, that's why I didn't mention them.

LPR orings and a worn bolt? Kinda suprised about the bolt considering I played with it once since the lastime it had visited AKA. I think that having to buy another board because your older board went dumb is pretty crappy. Samething with the older 'noids in the excals. There are problems and the owners are expected to pay for thier solutions....

I think thier warrenty is good but I also believe that it is way over hyped by AKA owners. Is it better than most in the industry? You bet, I think that AGD is alittle better with thier warrenty and service.

Just my experince which is probally alittle more extensive than most given my experience with AKA and AGD....

BTW, after most of the bedroom echo was removed from that vid, actual count was around 18-20cps.

Hardly mind boggling.

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.

Actually the reason airballers use long barrels is because they can push into the bunker with it and still shoot out the other side.
True it is an advantage and why people use it.But not an accuracy or efficiency advantage.

As far as what marker is better?
That all really and truly comes down to what is comfortable in your hand and what you shoot best with.How the weight affects you , or doesn't.Whether the problems that you will inevitably come across with any paintball marker are difficult for you or not.

My personal opinion of a Timmy is not high.Great marker for many people? Yes.
My cup of Tea? No.
I think the Viking is a brick, although I have only seen an "older" one.I HEAR they are awesome , but I really didn't see anything about it that was remarkable.
E Blades/Raceguns are nice.The E trigger does away with all the problems that the mechanical trigger gives you concerning short stroking, etc.Cockers (other than very few) tend to be bricks too.
Matrix is a huge brick too.Very large and until recently very heavy.I have to admit though , I have not seen another marker on the field go as fast as reliably.
Mags are really sort of funny.For the advance seen in the Lvl 10 , the weight , feel and reliability , you would think that MANY people would use them.But they dont.

A lot of teams use longer barrels because when their running to their bunkers its easy to put on hand on your hopper your other hand is shooting your gun and your looking right down your barrel so of course a longer barrel would be easier to AIM OFF OF

Why would you have one hand on your hopper while you're running? I mean, I'm just trying to picture this.

back onto subject

Well i dont mean to interupt your argument but i want to put my two cents in on what gun he should get. Well if you ask me i would go with the X-mag. I got one awhile ago shoots awesomely. My brother got an angel 4 and he want to shoot mine more than he does his. The X-mag is fast, sexy, and reliable.

um, that was my point considering 90% of tournaments these days are on airball fields.
