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

[tobz]

I personally think X Mags are the best markers out there, with vikings right behind, or the same (depending if you count price as a factor )

I shoot an eblade, so I am biased towards them, but the other marker that everyone considers top dawg is the Timmy..

What arguments are there (factual only, please) that will persuade some of my friends to not get them?

Just curious.

Viking w/ eyes > any timmy

Viking with eyes price < nice timmy

enough said.

timmys are known to be kind of a work horse!

i have a ebladed cocker once they are tuned to perfection all you have to do is oil them up!

i would say go with either they are really nice guns it is just preference. you are going to have to learn to fix stuff on your own with either guns or else you are going to be spending alot of money at the paintball store!


personally i say get a ebladed cocker i like mine alot!

[afrankart]

What exactly are you trying to persuade them not to get?

AKA warranty > everyone elses

[tobz]

Not so much persuading.. Just for arguments sake.

When I got balling, everyone is like "Timmy's are the best" and they drool over them but are very close minded. I was just looking for some good info (for arguments' sake) for when they start the drooling again, I can tell them to open their eyes a bit.

Thanks for the info guys.

Well I know intimidators are awesome because I have one. Why would you want to persuade them either way let them get what they want. If you wanna show them whats out there let them shoot your eblade and get them to shoot other guns and see if they like them better.

I don't get it.

He is saying that a viking with eyes is less than a decent timmy above stock maybe? Basically I think he is saying that a stock viking with eyes* costs less and is equal in performance than a more upgraded timmy.

Eyes are only 20 bucks, i dont get it..

Anywho, as far as vikings vs timmys and just about everything else goes, vikings are more efficent (most cases 2000 off a 68/45) a bit faster (not that it matters), come stock with a WAS board and soda can mod reg, have the air lines drilled into the aluminum body and not actual air lines like inside a timmy, have the best warrenty and come with type 3 hard anno to prevent scratchin.

Thanks..

That was some good info that I was looking for.

I'd take a viking over a timmy any day
(i've owned two timmys, two vikings, and 3 emags, as well as an SFL emag)

THe viking W/was board shoots just as fast as the timmy, except its cheaper. Also IMO Vikings are of MUCH Better construction, and are almost flawless when it comes to problems. As opposed to timmys, which to me feel like plastic, and the whole air line hose barbs on the solenoid are just a pain in the *** when they blow. Plus Vikings have a much greater warranty, and are SUPER efficient, as well as the best anno on the market.

The only reason I would ever take another timmy over a viking would be if i wanted a really good looking gun

[tobz]

I'd be very interested in trying out a viking, to see if I like them more than the eblade.

That is my next goal

get a free flow boxxer with a eblade it has the best waranty then any gun it has a life time warranty

Teamate has an '04 OTP Destructive Customs Viking thats shipped but not arrived yet. Might have it by Wednesday night for match at FSL in Ramsey.

I like timmys, they got nothing to them and are very simple. They are extremely reliable, very fast, consistent, and have good effieceny. I also really like the longness of them. Not to mention they look killer. Vikings are awesome guns to, I got nothing against them, I just like the overall feel of timmys more. I also think timmys look much better then vikings.
