For speed vs. dollars spent, it really is tough to beat an Ion. The extra green spent obviously isn't because the buyer is after speed. Same can be said for any other gun that costs more than $300. There are other things to consider, asthetics, brand loyalty, novelty, bragging rights (small/light guns and all) etc. etc. etc. All of which are reasons to spend cash on an Angel, Ego, Matrix, Shocker, Cocker, Mag, Viking, Excal, Freestyle, Intersceptor, or even the lowly Wrath. Personally, I'd buy it, used for sure, but I'd still buy it. There's just something about that high crisp sound that Angels make when they shoot that's got me hooked.

I agree totaly, i would LOVE to have/shoot the angel 1. I just think its great that people who spend 1000 bucks on a gun call ions "plastic crap guns" out of jealousy. lol

Every angel has ben hyped, and the performace increase has been, moderate. Sme thing from the A4 fly to the 05 speed, to the gat/o6 speed/ g7, and now to the one. All are good guns, all throw paint, so its a feel thing.

A+++ to WPD's marketing crew though...i really want one of those boxes...

I agree. I just cant warm up to this little tiny thing.

I do love the LCD, Blackberry Wheel, and the programing (from what i see so far). It looks like they killed all of the aftermarket board makers with this 'one'

[azzkikr]

kinda sounds like a toy when it shoots doesn't it

[cdacda13]

Crappy vids really.
First one was ok.
Second one the guy ran out of air.
Its hard to judge a gun just by videos.

From what I understand this early run is plagued with a few problems.
Supposedly the detents aren't working to prevent double feeding, and are allowing the eyes to get out of place. New detents are being shipped out to fix this problem.
I have also read that the "wheel" is easy to turn during games, putting the marker in safe or even turning it off.

I think the screen looks super cheesy, but thats my opinion. I have yet to warm up to the look of it. I will stick with my G7...that is already down from WDP's site

We are still tuning ours, we recieved ten of the first batch. Once we have some concrete results I will post a "mini review".

punkncat - We have not encountered any problems with the wheel. It is recessed into the grip frame for a reason.

[st6212]

From what I've read, the problem with the wheel occurred when wearing gloves.

[atm743]

that sounded like an ion shooting slow

i was to see some of them mode they have been talking about.

i think the only flaw with that gun is the blackberry style scroll knob.
