    Posted: 21 August 2004 at 11:10am
I'm really only looking to get one of the two setups mentioned. I
play mid mostly, so I need a fast gun that's easy to maneuver and
accurate... it needs to be reasonably light. I know the basically
describes a Timmy, but from what I've seen Trix's are faster and
more accurate. How heavy is an LCD Trix? I already have HPA and a
Halo B with V35. Thanks for the help.

P.S.- I am NOT interested in DM4's. Please do not reccomend one.

Why on earth would you want to shoot a gun that is made for a team when your not on the team.

Trix for sure. But to improve efficency you`ll have to buy a new bolt.

And then you`ll be spending as much as a timmy. And with a trix you`ll experience what every trix owner loves No kick.

But in my opiniion it all boils down to is weight a problem. Timmies will be lights but the matrix is goina be a little heavier...and before bying talk to a matrix owner and a timmy owner Some of the mods at pbvids.com have them, sign up and talk to them.

Any further questions about the trix matrixowner.com....

I talk to the guys at pbvids all the time. Pooh's trix is the shiz,
and Moose's is pretty cool too... that's what makes me
interested. Oh, and Bunkerking, I'll spend pretty much anything
under $1600.

Edit- I was looking at Vikings and E-Mags, but they're just too
hard to come by. I'd like a gun with a large user base, merely
because it's easier to find tech support. So timmy or trix.

are you willing to spend 1600 dollars alone on the marker?  or do you want that to include upgrades?  and i would go with timmy, just a personal preference.
The desire for polyester is just to powerful.

I havn't shot many super high end guns, but I have shot a few timmys like the 2k2 and alias, ever since I got to use the alias I have wanted one iit is so cool.

I wouldn't get the nd timmy just becuase I wouldn't want to be using a gun full of anohter team's logos, it would make you look like a poser IMO. (but im really weird with stuff like that, I wont play with a jersey unless im there with my team or in a tourney lol)

Get the Matrix LCD It absolutely ramps, and the stock barrel is reliably accurate.

Accuracy in volume.

I don't like DM4's because EVERYONE has one. I value a little
bit of originality. DM4's strike me as more of a fad. I like
Timmy's because they're lighter and easily field stripped, but I
like Matrix's because of the flat trajectory and accuracy. Which
is more important for a mid/back man?

Its not hard to find tech suport for viking, but it is very hard ot find a viking that needs it. If you want, i can give you someone on my BL for aim that is a certified tech for AKA markers. I could also go to the AKA forums, ask a question, and have it answered just as quick as anywhere else. I could talk to dan, nitro, froth, smeek, EPT, and many others about anytihng that might be wrong with a viking, and they would all be more than willing to help with anytihng i need, and be willing to tech it if they need to, for free(plus parts and shipping).

So if thats the only reason, you should be getting a viking.
