trix vs viking vs cyborg

[BlackWeenie]

so ive been checking these out and im just thinking about the major advantages and disadvantages to all of these. if you've had any experience with them and can tell me about anything that was great or awful about any of em lmk. ie. pretend viking eyes are notorious for exploding or the trix is the greatest thing youve even shot just post it here. thanks.

viking is better than the others in my opinon, played against a dm4 and a few vikings and some may laugh, but I liked the viking so much better. nicer feel, as fast, and just plain cooler. Shot a cyborg at reactive and it was nice but get the viking. oh paintmagnet has the nicest viking

Well saying "get the viking... just get it" isn't really going to help him much. Personally, I'd say it's a tossup between the Matrix and Cyborg, though I haven't shot a Viking. All three (at least when the Matrix is upgraded) can get near a case on a 68/4500 and none of them will have any kick. The Cyborg is probably the lightest and smallest of the 3, also very minimal upkeep.

trix- non-existant kick, very little noise, sounds good, but it just feeld like tis not even on when your shooting, feels almost "heartless" if you will, i want a marker with not "kick" but, feedback, i mean, some markers just seeing the bolt move makes me feel better than shooting a trix, hard to explain, personal preferance issue. also, tehre quite meaty/heavy, and not very attractive.
cyborg- only held one, never shot, seemed preety light, a lil tall if i have to make a complaint, but cant say much due to lack of experience
viking- noticiable kick, but not bad, FAST (well, what isnt), one of my favorite markers just to shoot

also please concider a timmy, personally, my favorite shootign marker, but i always had to gripe about the distance between the clamshell and torpedo, but with the new 2k4 style clammy's i think i have found the perfect marker, whenever i get some $$$ thats what im gonna be shooting.

If your only complaint about the Cyborg is that it's tall, you may want to look again:

well, ive owned 2 matrixes, one a toxic, and one a dm4. i think they are super sweet markers, and the spoolvalve is uber nice. but i am gettin a viking. They are just oh so sweet, and they dont have all the dye bs behind em. the dm4 i just got, then the dm5 is comming out in october... im tired of taking financial its on my guns, so i went with the vik. i suggest you do too..... and you want it to shot like a trix? throw on a mightymax volumiser and lower your lpr.... then you are set. also, the viking will get a case, or damn close on a 68 45

whoever took the pics of the guns lined up, did something kind of stupid. I hope you noticed the RAIL on the bottom of some of the guns (including the cyborg), take that off and they are all about the same

Magman007- You were so diehard DM4. Ever since you saw the DM5 was coming out now you want to get a Viking.

[magman007]

who says i wont trade it for a dm5??

We didn't forget, we were just lazy. Hell, if you really want to get technically, I'm sure not all of the barrels were level either... but it was more of a shot so you could check out width, not height, of the markers. The second post is so you can try to check out height and length. Yes, this does mean you will more than likely have to whip out your crazy 1337 MS Paint skills to try to really match them up.

No. The Autococker and Cyborg are mine, the Dark Angel is my fiances, the Shockers is a friends and the rest (including the X-Mag) belong to Korrosion.

I hate the inward angle of the Cyborg trigger, I found it uncomfortable. However, PBK is coming out with a new trigger (and lighter trigger switches), so that should no longer be a problem. The Cyborg has slightly less kick than my Russian Legion (with factory settings), it is very low maintenance, and VERY efficient. The build quality is excellent, as is the price. Out of your three picks, I would choose the Cyborg.

Well, I shoot my friends featherlight all the time, and just bought a trix, so I can comment on those two guns. I haven't however gotten to shoot a cyborg, so I'll just leave that out. They both shoot darts, extremely consistent. The viking does have some kick to it, but not much, definately not as much as a timmy, just a bit more than a matrix. The viking is much louder too. With an ultralight barrel it is quieter, but it simply can't get as quiet. Now the matrix is not a small gun, although the viking isn't either unless you get the featherlight. Personally I really don't mind weight, and just loved the way a trix shoots, plus i can play with my friends featherlight whenever I want too.

Someone mentioned using the Mighty Max to lower the lpr and quiet it down and lessen the kick. That does help, but the viking will never get to matrix levels. My friends gun has that and the SCM, with the lpr set at 52 lbs. Viking isn't as soft on paint either, his halo screws up, and he will chop. Not much, but he will. Me and him emptied 2 hoppers in a row in a revy with my trix, raking the trigger at 19 bps, and not one chop.

I would say the viking takes less upgrades to make it really shoot well (WAS and eyes and your pretty much done, the rest is just personal preferance), although the matrix doesn't need too much either.

I really don't think you can go wrong with either one, they're both great guns.
