vikings are nice

[The Action Figure]

paintmagnet had a viking today at alamo paintball, and those things are fast. first game got him pretty soon off the break, with my mag like once, then next game he turns aroung and smacks me like 7 times off the break. May pick a viking up what do you think?

oh yeah paintmagnet still had this awesome ghetto rigged 68.
cphillip you playin tom. I heard you were

It's not the marker that makes the game, it's the player.

It's not the markers fault you ran into a stream of paint.

[Steelrat]

Can't go wrong with a viking. Owned an 03, and currently own an 04.

[The Action Figure]

i know running into a stream of paint was probably not for the best

[ProX9]

ya it may be the player that makes the game but no spyder or mech cocker is going to put a rope of paint down the lane. I also currently own an 03 viking and i would lane off the break more but i cant afford dropping a pod in the first 10 seconds of every game.

[The Action Figure]

yeah but paintmagnet is really good as well as a good gun

Actually, I know a guy who can pull 15 on his mech cocker...with a sliding trigger, not a hinge

i dont see the different between an excal and a viking

currently traded for an excal, hopefully will be better than a viking

[Ryknow]

the excal will be a ball or 2 per second slower than the viking, but will have noticibly less kick.

And yes.. vikings are nice guns

[Jig]

yep, mech cockers with sliders rock hard..im not a fan of most hinges. but more on the topic, vikings are awesome...unmatched reliability and price/performance ratio. i dont know why i refuse to pick one up..i really should...

Thanks,

my friend's viking was insane

it was butt ugly

but it was insane

[The Action Figure]

thanks for the advice wanting to trade my mech mag for one

Gideon1331 Thanks for the compliments. I really didn't mean to hit you that many times at all, I was shooting about a foot in front of the back right bunker because I knew that someone was probably going for it.

So when you got hit and stopped, the other balls were still in the air. Most of the time people get hit and keep running a little ways due to momemntum (and the rest of the balls in the air go right past them) but you stopped dead as soon as you were hit...so the rest of the balls hit you too. Sorry, I didn't mean to overshoot you

I pull 13 with my slide trigger

By the way, the 04 Vikings are shipping with Razorblade trigger, WAS Equalizer board, Humphrey solenoid and Soda Can Mod for around 875 bucks. My Viking has the old Nelson board with no eyes, MAC solenoid, and the old style switch and blade trigger. So by modern Viking standards it's actually slow. It's plenty fast for me though, so I don't plan to add anything else to it.

You have a nice mag, the Blue ULE looks nice with the chrome Y frame. If the only reason you're looking for a Viking is for a higher rate of fire, you might want to try changing your gas line. The placement of it made shooting a little awkward. Changing to a longer one or a different placement might be all you need to be able to squeeze out those extra few BPS. (I'm right handed though, so it probably doesn't bother you if you're a lefty)
