Specs on New Angel to be Released in Feb

[Failure]

Lol, what the hell is a ninja geometer?

I like the service reminders, and the shorter, lighter, aspects. The ACE sort of things sounds good to. The rest means nothing to me.

It does make me wonder, are they going to make a basic bare bones Angel. I think a pre LCD Angel that sold for $600-$700 would sell. Not that I want to encourage too much competition for AGD

Tom! AGD Skunkwerks... RF communication is superior to IR - when was the last time you saw an IR keyless entry unit for a car. Long gone before it even started.

I just happen to know an RF engineer in your area who is an AGD enthusiast.....


HA HA HA HA HA!!! AGD will rule the world if that's the best WDP tuners can do!

[Miscue]

Looks like they upgraded every part of the gun except for the stuff that makes it shoot. Next year's model will whistle Dixie... I'd imagine.

Personally... I like following the K.I.S.S. model... Keep it Simple, Stupid.

I noticed the pivot feed... sounds like a response to the Extreme EMag. WDP is paying attention it seems.

The new "features" are very interesting. I like vib handle in the angel. I think that could be usefull. As far as the text messaging???? Hmmmm... It may sound like a good idea to be able to communicate that way on the field. But, I thought that IR (infra-red) is a "line-of-site" technology. Anyone with a laptop trying to print using the infra-red port can attest to this. So, lets see... if you're on the field and the paint is flying and you need to get line of site to your buddy to tell him that you just nailed another guy...... why the heck couldn't you just belt out "strike 2" or something to that effect and let everyone know (even the guys you couldn't see) all at the same time?? I would think that would be much more efficient.
So, lets imagine that they decided to use RF instead... what's to keep the other team from intercepting communications? I think the whole messaging between guns is a little foolish. Just my humble opinion.
I really like the feature of being able to "program" your gun or interface with a PC. If they could run diagnostics with fancy graphs and statistics, that would be even cooler! Good idea? I also like the more complicated display.

I've been looking at purchasing an angel or an e-mag for awhile now. At this point my impression on AGD products is that they are all about performance. When the extreme e-mag comes out I think it will be the best gun for the money. The ACE really seals the deal for me and if it handles fragile paint too (out of the box or with future AGD add ons), I'd be crazy to blow my money on another marker.

With the angel I could get a marker that shoots paintballs and gets the "blue screen of death" just like my pc, what a deal!

Legend has it that you can wire it up to a NES and play Duckhunt... I dunno if that helps you on the field or not but... neat.

The beauty of messaging is that you can ask for a date while playing on the field.

You know, "hey baby, I couldn't help but notice that yer angel is as shiny as mine... want to share a bunker?"

i do like the idea of changing your trigger pivot point, but other than that, just too much extra junk.

You know the only reason why it has an on board computer to tell you what is wrong with it is because it has too much crap on it in the first place. Further more too many people treat them like cars and expect the car to run great without ever doing any routine maintinence on it. People need to learn there markers inside and out.

Dare i ask, what will they think of next?

[Muzikman]

I'm interested in the Gated Feed, the 3 pivot point trigger, and the "Space Frame".

Everything else is just cool geeky stuff.

Neat, but who needs a $2K Zapper...

The anti chop feature sounds good, IF it work as advertised.

Otherwise, sounds like lots of hype.

Oh yeah, some maintenance schedule. If you shoot an everage of 1000 rounds in a day... Sounds like an extreme amount of maintenance to me. The harley of paintball guns.

[toymyster]

Aside from the lifetime warranty and the fancy paint sensor, it sounds like a great bunch of hype!!! I'm sure everyone who is trying to keep up with the Joneses will rush out and buy one!!!

[magic55]

well i had a semi long post but somehow deleted it so i'll just say i like the idea of the new angel.
