    What's the big deal about Vikings?

    I know nothing about any of AKAs markers. What's up with them? They look bada$$ but what else? I am a pure mag guy of 2 years now. I have never seen any AKA gun in person.

    Someone give me the scoop. How do they compare to a xmag or timmy?

      I've had the pleasure of shooting one. All I have to say, before that time, I didn't think much of them. But afterwards, I was quite impressed! They are easy to rip on. It definitely reminded me of the NYX and how easy it was to walk. At the time, it was definitely easier to walk than my 1.37 Emag. I hear they are really efficient on air. I'm not one to start up hype but from what's been said, it can shoot almost a case of paint off of one 68/4500 fill.

      It was light and compact. I definitely felt comfortable with it. It also felt like a solid marker. If I could afford it, I'd definitely pick one up. Oh well, one of these days! :)

      But for now, I'm more than satisfied with my Emags and the 4.0 monster that they are! :)

          I actually shot one today, for the first time with WAS at least. I think I will be ordering one soon, just ripped through a pod of absolut crap paint it impressed me, and they are efficient.

          it is the same as most other highend guns, shoot them both before you decide,

          by the way this is comming from a timmy and matrix owner.

            AKA Markers are sweet.

            I used to own an excal, the anno was tough as nails, and I never had one single problem with the gun. Of a 68/3k with a good paint/barrel match I'd get approx 1100 shots off.

                Well, I used to consider them overpriced, but with every new "high end" marker pretty much costing over a grand these days it seems like a pretty good price for the performance and features.

                AKA products are pretty sweet, and the efficiency is stellar.

                I just wish they would just make a true featherlite, that has as much metal taken off as possible, no frilly stuff...

                  The 04' cost about 890 fully loaded w/ eyes and razor trigger etc. The viking is just a great marker overall. Has a good break beam eye and WAS explains how easy it is to rip on...like timmys etc. Except they are built great and have a really good anno on it (strong).

                    Though I didn't get to test fire it, I held one yesterday and just couldn't get a feel for it.

                    Something about the width I just couldn't make it fit. I've never held a marker where it felt that weird.

                    Really liked the looks of it though.
