    Help Me Choose My Back Up Gun

    Well after today, when I went to shoot my timmy, I discovered that the micro switch was broken, so was the battery plug, everything else on my 14 point wiriing harness, so I had to order a new one. Now I was going to play all this weekend but now I cant, because I have no gun. So because of this, I have always wanted a back up gun I am going to get a back up gun. I was looking at a couple of guns, but I just want your input on them...

    Viking, it will have WAS, Eyes

    Speed, Wont have eyes and WAS for a couple of months

    Matrix, with Eyes

    Angel A4

    Maybe even a ULE X Valved Mag, if I feel like it.

    So please give me your opinions.

    Thanks

    You have way too much money lying around if an A4 could be your back-up, perhaps you could donate some to some one currently using a Spyder as a primary.

      a4, I love the way you can adjust the trigger right on the top of the grip frame!

            The way my timmy has been acting, my back up may become my primary gun.

                2k4 Viking, blows em all out of the water.

                If youre playin seriously dont go with a mechanical backup gun.

                    For a true 'backup' I would get another Timmy. Regardless of the fault,between the 2 you will almost always have a working gun and spares for trouble shooting,testing,etc.

                    Unless what you really want is just another play toy. Then get something you never had before.

                      I know I did. I think timmies have a life expectancy because my gun is acting up too and I think both of us got our guns at almost the same time. I got a NYX for a backup.

                        Get the mag. You dont even really need something that good if all you want is a backup. I would get like a BKO and throw a few upgrades on it. It will save you money. Its not like you're going to be playing with the gun ALL the time.

                          I would get another timmy, but I just feel like having something different. I am most leaning towards the viking, but I still am looking into the matrix.

                            viking, definately. just make sure that the eyes and board were properly installed and the gun will never fail you. vikings are possibly the most reliable electropneumatics made, period.

                              If I was to get the viking the eyes and board come installed already, from the dealer.
