Impulse and Angel Owners Need Your Help

[AGD]

Guys,

I need to know which of the two guns in the poll breaks less paint DOWN THE BARREL. We are not talking about chopping here we are talking about shooting super fragile paint, which one handles it better.

thanks!

They are both blenders. I do not say that to be a smart $$$. That is what I have seen on my own team. One of my team mates has an Impulse and it broke a lot more paint than my Bushmaster did. Another one of my team mates Cobra Angel broke a lot of paint also. I question how he had is set up though. A couple of my other guys have Angels that do not break nearly as much as his Cobra

I do not know about the Angel but my Impulse broke about 5 balls in 10 cases last summer.

I also dont mean to be a smart alek but the angel I just bought hasnt broken a ball in 5000 shots. The blender rumor is just a rumor. The field that I play at has crappy condition team colors so it is more prone to chopping too.

I didnt have much problems with breaks on my "marker formerly known as IMPY" but i was using a vision and a freak if that says anything, i think i may have had 2 breaks out of 5 cases before i sold it. I would recommend an Impulse to anyone, if ya want a low grade electro, but a tall marker.... thats why i got rid of it..tehe!!

Angel every time

Hi all,

I must say that the Angel is one of the sweetest that I've been able to use in this respect. In a whole season I only chopped once and never had a ball break in the barrel due to a thin shell.

I can't vote here because I have no experience - but I would like to see the numbers, and can't see the numbers until I vote.

Could someone post the results so far, or could the poll be changed to include an "I don't know" so that others can see the results. I bet without an "I don't know" the numbers will be skewed as people will vote randomly just to see the results.

Thanks

I haven't owned an angel, but I own an impulse
and the only times I've broken paint was when
I flicked the trigger while the barrel condom was
still on. I've played it through about 5 or 6
cases of paint right now.

[IceCool32]

I've shot 3 cases through my Impulse, I've had one break down the barrel, But then again with was Sheridan type wal-mart paint, yeah.....So you guys can smack me now.


I'd say Impulse, I've seen my friends fly breaks more paint down the barrel then on the oppenent.

[Nitroduck]

I'd say Angel.

[DarkRipper]

Well, as a former angel owner I must say that the chopping thing is mainly found on poorly maintained guns... I rarely chopped paint on the 13 different angels I've owned (which include LED & LCDs, Dark, Adrenalin, stock, C&C, etc.).

I can't say the same for the impulse, I'm not a fan.

Wouldn't barrel breaks, and not chops/ breach breaks be more indicitive of barrel/ paint issues than gun?

I voted for Impulse, but then again I don't break much paint at all in any of my guns.

I'd think so too, Dave. This is why Propaintball tried to make their mod for angels, to lower the pressure exerted on the paintball to lessen chops/breaks.

I found that this is good in cockers, where the paint is chambered before firing, but in open bolt guns you have a little leeway...

Of course, this doesn't mean that you can use eggshell paint in a medium-high pressure firing gun. The pulse of air can still crush the paint if it's really fragile.

To be honest, I've found more issues related to the detent on angels as related to chopping paint than related to the bolt itself.
