    questions I have to ask

    ok my dad wants me to ask these before he'll buy me the x-mag

    How easy is it to get parts if anything breaks?

    Does it have a game timer since apparently according to the crap my local shop has been telling him it makes the angel 4 so much better

    in your opinion is this the best gun you've shot?

    eh any praise you have about this gun that makes it better then other guns would help
    I won't ship first unless you have a lot of good feedback.

      Re: questions I have to ask

      1.) Very easy. If anything's going to go wrong, it will most likely be in the valve, which a $15 rt parts kit can fix.
      2.) No game timer. My Emag had one with 1.37 (it's on 3.2 now) and I never used it. Best game timer I ever used was the countdown timer on my watch.
      3.) Yea

        I looked at your questions... compare this to an Angel 4 once... The Angel 4 is a great marker first of all, and today is likely comparable to the X-mag. However, a year from now, there will be an Angel 5, and your Angel 4 will no longer be the thing it is today. It is unlikely that AGD will replace the X-mag anytime soon.

        Also, your X-mag, barrel kit, and tank is your setup, you would have a very very hard time upgrading the X-mag to better performance from what it is. That is not true of the Angel 4, you will need volumizers (likely, as have past angels) and other things that noone really know the use of.

        The X-mag is a great gun today, and a year from now, you will still be very happy with it (I think)


        And no.. no game timer, why would it matter? Though I can see the convenience of a timer in handle, this is not reason to pick one gun over another.

            Lohman volumizers come with the angels. Also you do not really need any upgrades for the A4, but you are right I think they already made a new Force 4 angel.

              PS - not an original idea, I think I saw it first in one of Doc Nichols (sp) comics.. not sure though

                you won't chop paint with the X. If you look after it and know how to set up and use it properly, you'll have a gun for life. If you do have something you are not sure about and the manual don't help, then post on here (AO) and someone if not everyone will help.

                At tournies there is always a MASSIVE tent at the WDP stand, with loads of people fixin stuff. Thats great but why do they need to fix stuff....if.......oh!

                  Man... that dude outa be sellin used cars! I guess he forgot to offer to throw in a bottle of snake oil?

                  Most of the Angel guys around here say your about better off with a Speed and some upgrades and you end up geting about the same thing for a good bit cheaper. Me? I gonna tell ya to get the Mag but.. thats just me.

                        How easy is it to get parts if anything breaks?
                        AGD service is, on the whole, terrific. You won't be disappointed with your purchase. Of course, nothing is going to break becuase you won't have to take the marker apart and tinker with it all the time....

                        Does it have a game timer since apparently according to the crap my local shop has been telling him it makes the angel 4 so much better
                        Game Timer?!? Who the hell cares about a game timer? If you are busy looking down at your LCD screen to see how much longer you have to hide behind a bunker, you're playing all wrong. Plus, you can get game timers very easily. Buy a $5 stop watch. Now ducktape to your hopper. Ahh...the innovation of Angels.

                        exactly what i told my dad they also told my dad the angel 4 had like a thumb scanner so only you could use it, i hope he was joking
                        Nope. No thumb scanner. The machine would have to be a lot more complex than that.

                        Here's the skinny on the xMag. It's amazing. It has both a mechanical AND an electronic anti-chop system in place. It's small, light and easy to manouver. You won't need to switch things around, like you would with the A4 (volumisers). It has removable breeches, so that you can change your style without having a huge wallet. Need any more proof?

                        The shop guys want to sell their markers. That's why they're pitching to you. If they had xMags, they'd be pitching them to you as well.
