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

It just struck me who Viking owners remind me of. Jehovahs Witnesses!

Oh boy, another insightful post. And hey, whoever said the Jehovahs Witnesses are wrong?

So, its okay for Matrix owners, Intimidator owners, etc to say good things about their guns, but the minute Viking owners pipe up, we're religious fanatics?

How many other religions bother you at home to convince you that their way is the light? Case in point, how many Viking threads have been posted on AO? Seriously, Vikings shoot nice. I almost got my GF a Destructive. What bothers me is the otherwordly claims and the absence of a grasp on reality.

There are exceptions, like you. You will admit there are other ways to lay paint effectively and markers with qualities that surpass the Viking. That's why I won't light you up too badly at No vs. So Cal AO.

It just struck me who would say something like that. One of Jerry's Kids.

What does a muscular disorder have to do with identifying fanatacism? Perhaps a charity to help those with mental retardation was what you were trying to convey, but that only supports a theory of how easy it is for even mentally defficient people to identify that there is a problem with people who swear their markers perform magic.

Reality check

Ok it all boils down to perception and feel. You can give all the "data" you want but if it feels funny to me I'll toss it aside and play with something else. The way things work these days effiency(sp) has no bearing on the purchase of a marker. I can fill up after every game, like most people, so that arguement is for people who get obsessed with "data". Looks DOES have a big effect on whether someone buys it or not. Weight has little to do with it, if it feels good and looks nice then its sold. Part of the reason that I picked a mag is it is so much smaller than most markers. I liked the trigger on timmies and angels but I felt like I was holding a tall brick that was uncomfortable for me to shoot, while others pick them up and fall in love with them. So just go with your heart or pocket book

Calling the viking owners Jehovahs Witneses is going to far. They where just adding there $0.02 in this thread. I have never shoot a viking, so i dont know how nice they are. however it comes down to person choice. Try them all if you can, and make up your own mind.

Ok, since there is overwhelming support for Vikings in this thread, and I own one, let me counteract with what I consider some drawbacks (contrary to what many believe, it is not the perfect gun).

-This is not a light gun (atleast my 03 wasn't, 04s are less, but I don't know the exact difference). While not as heavy as an older Shocker, if weight is a concern, it is worth the extra cash to buy a Featherlite or a Destructive.

-Out of the box my trigger sucked. The pull was stiff and long. If you want that great trigger feel everyone is talking about, you're going to need to buy a Razor Blade, take out the trigger spring (which is atleast twice as long as it needs to be), and spend some time adjusting the trigger. The set screw for the firing point kept backing out on my gun, but that was easily solved by a little Loc Tite.

-If you have an 04, you can disreguard this, but personally, I think having to file a slot in the tray for the eye wires is kinda' stupid. I just don't like doing that sort of thing to a gun I spent over $800 on.

-The last bunch of 03s had FSDO (most of them atleast). Many of the newer 04s also had some weird leaks coming from the ram area. Although these are normally easy things to fix (I'm actually not sure if they've diagnosed the 04 leaks yet, you'd have to ask Dan Voils), they are still anoying.

There are some honest to God negatives. Overall I still really love the gun, but it doesn't have a clear spot at the top of my favorites. The best thing you can do is try one out, that's all I have to say.
