    Doubt is creeping into my mind.

    I am about to get a Flied angel speed.
    This is my first time spending a huge amount of money on anything, so I worried about making the wrong choice.
    And, theres a little voice in my head saying"Get a viking, its better"
    So, insted of argueing with myself(and looking like an idoit) Ill let you guys do that
    So, which is better, an 04 viking or a Flied angel speed

      the viking is a better marker, but i still dont reccomend it. Honestly, spend the money on a new proto. I shoot a dm5 and absolutely love it. With the proces dropping on the protos, you can snatch a top class marker up for a really good deal. they will shoot smoother than an angel or a viling ( ive owned both, an 04 speed, and a 04 featherlight viking) i wasnt impressed with either. i really reccomend the proto, i cant stress that enough

          Niether gun is "Better".

          Both are faster than you and both can be equally consistant (accurate),Viking will be more efficient,Speeds going to lower in profile and lighter in most cases.So all that's left is cost and preferance.

          Right now Vikings are WAY WAY WAY over priced IMO. I've had people offer $2000 for mine (DC), pure madness. $1500 is pretty standard for anything milled and $1000 for 04 stock. Unlesss you must have a viking I'd go with what best fits your budget.

              I tought about the proto, but I dont like spool valve.

              I have seen viking (unmilled 04s) for 700-800. Thats not a bad price.
              But the flied speed will cost only 675$ shipped.

              I dont know what to do.

                not at all, 04 vikings can be had for ~$700 now with some ups, and, i am in love with mine, it is the smoothest marker i have shot (less kick than teammates DM5, really), most consistent thing i have seen (+-2 all the time), super fast (unless i have to play in psp mode, no fun), feels really nice in my hands, just not enough good things i can say about this marker, now, my team has had 3 other vikings, none of which performed at the level of my current one, so, mabey i just have the god of all vikings, but, right now, i wouldnt rather shoot anything else

                  Sounds like your answer ther if you read my post.

                  Your not going to see much of a performance difference between the 2 IMO, especially if this is your first 'Highend' marker. Put the extra money into paint and air.

                    Yeah unmilled probably. Like I said, can get a Speed w/ ACE for less. :)

                    And IMO , no way a Viking,Timmy,any other hammer ram based marker, has less recoil than a spool valve gun .

                    But.....

                    Shoot 'em both, buy what you like and what fit's into your budget.Your the only one who has to like it.

                    That's all I'm going to say anymore here.

                        Only exception to that is a stock shocker vs any angel with tuned evolve kit.

                            I'll say an Excalibur is smoother.
