Yeah, Ultralites are nice performers and consistent. Which do I like the best? The spyder rules! But seriously from all the guns, I prefer the dm4 and angel the most. |

Smitty, thanks. Zombieman, the only thing the timmy has over the angel is weight, and that "advantage" compromises the quality of the timmy. Otherwise, they are equally accurate, efficient, fast. While the timmy requires a 9V battery, and I'm the careful type when working with my guns, I'd rather not deal with delicate nature of the timmy's clamshell frame. In other words, changing batteries with the timmy is more than a pain in the a**. Maintenance frequency defined by each gun's manual was also a consideration for me. Timmies require relubing after over a case has been shot. Angels and Matrices require relubing after about 5 cases. What does this say about reliability? As for the dm4 vs angel, if you take into account the different objective or measurable aspects people are looking for, the angel would win on paper. Subjectively, neither win in my books. I prefer the angel for efficiency, and configuration options. I prefer the dm4's shooting behavior.
What do you mean? I still have a timmy. It's the top right gun everyone is calling a "spyder". |

Yeah, looking to convert the spyder to LP and add a new board. The dm4 looks only good in black, otherwise I think it's rather ugly. |

636andy636, I've heard good things about borgs, but I
would imagine macdev would still have to work out some bugs since they haven't been exclusively in the gun design business for long. Frog Man, don't knock the cocker and angel. Both are of high quality and I enjoy them. In fact, the cocker is the only gun I have stuck with from the beginning of my collection. The rest are expendible. Frobs, yes it's an ugly color scheme, but looks only go so far. Rest, thanks for the feedback. |

jjclown23, wait until you check out the dm5. Fondled one tonight,
and though the differences are subtle, it's very very nice. Nice
enough to get a dm5 instead of a dm4? Maybe, maybe not. The
dm5 is slightly smaller in body height and length, making it noticeably
lighter. Trigger has the same feel as the dm4. balazs2, metallica, jacob_100, thanks. |

all nice guns but i would sell the cocker. not because its not good or anything but b/c i know theres always a need for a backup gun but i just cant see ever playing with all 3 of them enough to warrant spending the money on them. nice collection tho. ------------- Rockin' the Ironman Intimidator.

| Johndcjr1989, you make a good pt., and I have considered such. Having a hard time parting with the cocker due to its traditional, proven design. |

Niq, thanks! Tolgak, if cold conditions and 4500 air fills aren't an issue, the dm4 is my choice. However, if the field only fills to 3000 and I feel like playing more front, then it's the angel. The gf uses the cocker for now. jjclown23, thanks Some minor additions to the JD fly: 16" Black UL tip Victory board for my halo Cobra snatch grip Cobra breach knob Angel Force backplate   |

The Man, thanks. spyderjunkie, the large "button" at the top, closest to body is actually only an LED, indicating if the gun is safe or live. The three below are actual buttons. Top one is dedicated to turning the gun live or safe. The middle is menu selection. The bottom is to change the values of each setting. I personally dislike many buttons, but find this system easy. |
