trix vs viking vs cyborg

[FallNAngel]

thats why i said if i HAVE to make a complaint

My point is, it isn't any taller than a Matrix or Angel (at least not with the no-rise I have on there). At most, from the top of the feednecks to the bottom of the grips, the Cyborg is 1/2" taller than that X-Mag.

well, i concider trixes preety tall(compared to like a shocker or mag), and like i said, i only had a few momentsw holding the gun, never even firing it, much less a extended period of time to get to know it

also, i dont measure from bottom of grip to top of body as much as from bottom of body to top of body, becasue your gonna compensate for extra grip height just by the way you hold it.

Viking..hands down.

I'd have to say Vikings.There built like tanks .IMO they rank second in PB Owners groups,Palmers would be first.

i have never shot a viking or a cyborg, but imho the trix is about as great as you can get.

All the guns you are interested in are great, but I went with a matrix. The matrix guns have some great aftermarket stuff available, (boards, eyes, bolts) and you can get them to shoot faster than any gus out there. You can stick your finger in the breech and feel how soft the bolt is on paint.. Plus the Evolve bolt gets "viking" efficiency.
The lack of kick does make the gun feel "dead" though, BUT It is a silky smooth dead gun
THe dm4 is really nice too, that's what i'd get if I had the money.

does anyone have experience with all three? i'd like to shoot all three myself, but no one at my paintball "place" has a matrix. umm how does the matrix trigger operate? it almost looks like its a microswitch, would someone be able to confirm/correct me? thanks.

Yes, it has a microswitch on the board.

maybe i dont know much about this.. im saying is the trigger similar to the hyperframe?

If you get a Viking then you have to do almost zero upgrading because it comes with the best parts.

My vote is obviously going to be for the Cyborg

The Cyborgs have a super low profile, are lighter than the other 2 guns mentioned, more efficient than a Viking, have very low recoil, and are super easy to maintain. Don't get me started on speed, they rip just as hard as a trix or viking. In this age of advanced electro's, between the 3 listed, I wouldn't say any of them are "faster" than the others. The Cyborg by design is setup to be bounce free, where as Trixes run off of bounce, and same goes for WAS Vikes....

Go and shoot all 3, then make a choice! That's the best advice that I can give.

www.cyborgowner.com for any info u might need about the Cyborg.

I had this same choice a few months ago, well 5 now, as you do. All of those guns are great but at the end of the day I wanted something rare and customized, I went with a featherlight viking. Even if i see another '04 smooth milled feather at my local field it wont be the same color. Also keep in mind that vikings are no longer made, so i think there resale is only going to get better with time, as opposed to the 'gun of the month'.

no, the switch is not like a hyperframe. it's more like an Angel.

...more efficient than a Viking...run off of bounce, and same goes for WAS Vikes...

Are you sure about that? My Viking gets a full case off of a 70/45, I find it hard to believe it can get better, not saying you're wrong, just hard to believe. Also, my Viking can rip like crazy with no bounce. I have the WAS switch and when I turn up my db filter for no bounce it is still very easy to shoot very fast. Plus, like someone said earlier you can get rid of a lot of kick with the Mitey Max. They are very consistant stock, the lpr is great(if it's 04 it comes with scm) and the HPR is awesome too, it's the Sidewinder. Anyway, I love my Viking and would only trade it for another Viking or an Excalibur. The maintenence is almost zero, put a few drops of oil in the asa and on the bolt and cycle the marker, that's it. I'd say since you can't shoot all three to study up on all three as much as you can. All three guns are great, but my personal preference is the Viking(although I've never shot a Cyborg, so that is between the Trix and Viking), it's fast, consistant, efficient, and tough.
