    angels low demand?

    I was wondering are the demand for angels shrinking? I have noticed on the of the most popular paintball websites, they are selling less and less angels. Where i play to see less of then. I am wondering if anyone else has noticed the same as i.

    thanks

    Yeah it seems like everybody thats techy is going DM or EGO these days. Angel used to have a kind of mystique but I think that is slowly fading. I hardly ever see people using them where I am either. Or maybe I just dont care about them enough to notice

        The A1 is a sweet marker, but people would rather use EGO's and matrixes because "that's what the pro's use, and they kick *** don't they?"

          I've actually seen a lot more Angels around recently. However, I'm seeing intermediate players buying them used for cheap off eBay. (Two of my friends bought Angels in the last six months.)

          This is probably only reinforcing your point, though. My friends are probably buying these used Angels from other guys who are selling them to buy Egos and Dms.

            my local field doesn't even sell them. it's all about the dye markers and the egos.

            'course the store owner uses a mag

            and he's selling a classic mag if anyone's interested, let me know.

            i used to see angels ALL THE TIME in charleston SC. is it an east coast thing?

              There is one person at my field with an A1, and a guy who owns 7 Angels. I really don't hear many people talking about angels anymore. The Mini gets talked about the most at my field, with the Ego a close second. However, the legions of Ions still remain the most common players at my field.

                    My Angel is very easy to upkeep. Its almost as easy as my mag. That is why I like them.

                    The Ego's, mini's and DMs are the hot guns right now, so they are the ones everyone wants.
                    The unfortunate part for angels in our area is the lack of service. Its hard to get parts in a timely manner. Badlands (our angel techs) promise them but never deliver on time and the US based companies won't ship to Canada because "its too hard. Boo hoo." They won't actually try to ship, but they will try to take your money.

                    I still like the angels because they are so well made.
                    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

                      Timmies and Minis are what most of the speedballers out here use.

                        well there' alot of angel sponsored teams around here, but other than that everyone shoots ego's or dm's, marqs are also sartign to pick up. Persoanlly they don't feel comfortable to me idky, i like the feel of the Ul frame on the Dm's better

                          there used to be alot...now its all shockers (sft's & nxt's), timmies, egos, or DMs.

                          not one angel.

                            i

                            i think minis and pmr are so popular is because they are a fraction of a price of a angel.
