the pimp is a really nice gun but I think that Vikings are better. You heard they are slow? those things are amazingly fast.

Viking don't shoot fast.............

Hold on I gotta regroup I just bashed my head into my desk beacause of that idiotic statement.

Ok i wiped off all the blood I'm back.

The Viking is one of the fastest marker out there. They are pretty bulky but that should not be too much of a problem (Since you play abck). IMO your 2 choices should be Cyborg or viking both shoot very fast very, gas efficient (Viking is slightly better on gass efficiency though)the only diffrence is weight the cyborg wins there. I'd go cyborg. Theres a couple things i don't like about the viking from what I've heard it's pretty hard to take apart you need a 50$ tool kit even then if you take it apart you bound to mess it up. With the cyborg you can unscrew almostevery thing with just your finger/allen wrench it's a very simple design and easy to work with.

thank you for taking care of that while i was away..

the only thing about the cyborg is, my magizine has told me the wires are all jammed in and it can be drastically lightend..but thats just the magizine facefull`s opinion.

but both are great guns though

Thats exactly it, there is no hype. The viking is like the DM4 or timmy. Its actually well made and not hyped.

They may be big, but if you get a featherlite or DC viking, you wont need to worry about that. though they may be out of your price range.

Im not gonna flame you, because either you were making a really bad joke, or you really need to get some better sources. Vikings are in no way slow. they might not have the fastest cycling rate any more, but they still open and close the valve the fastest, so it still fires the fastest. There hasnt been a loader fast eough to keep up with the viking, and they capped the fastest it being shot at as 31 bps...slow?

Viking or borg would be your best bet. Find on of each, and shoot them both, then choose which you like more.

Face full is full of crap.

  I think those people need to actually look at the markers they review. Ya know, read the manual, look for themselves, etc.

"Velocity Adjustment Methods: Primarily via standard fitted Gladiator '04 in-line regulator Through velocity adjustment can be achieved through alteration of either valve dwell on the board or internal cycling LPR. Neither recommended"

Odd, in the manual it says to set your Gladiator to 200 and use the LPR for velocity. Past that, the dwell is fixed yet they say the board can adjust it (it can't).

They also say the weight is 2.6lbs, (it's 2lb 3oz) and that it comes with an o-ringed clamping feedneck
