My Viking vs Master Tech Flied Speed comparison has been expressed in your other thread. I also assume this is a Flied Speed conversion with the Fly board, not the Euro Speed board. ------------- '...in order to use that particular insult, it really helps if you spell it properly. Nothing quite spells out "irony" as well as calling somebody "retarted."' -Clark Kent on Tippmann forumer |

Yes, the retro or fly board, not Euro. I made a new thread because I narrowed my choices down. |

I vote Viking. If you can afford it, check out a Destructive Customs or DC FSP Viking- http://www.destructivecustoms.com/ - Destructive Customs .
Angels aren't bad guns, I'm just addicted to Vikings. Don't see that changing anytime soon. *EDIT* OK, so I saw you said give reasons, so I will. Once you get your Viking tuned, it will work perfectly-period. I know people who own '02s, and have never messed with 'em(they are before eyes), and shoot just as well as any gun out there. Second, they're some of the most consistant guns on the market, and most will do +/-1 once the Sidewinder is broken in. Also, they have the best effeciency of any gun on the market(OK, an Excal can probably beat them-but that's it). Personally, my favorite part about them is the fact that they've got quite a lot that can be custom milled. To me, that's way cooler than buying a gun all milled up(like the A4s), or one that is just flat(Shocker, '05 Speed). There's a ton you can do with your Viking to make it look really insanely cool. If you care about weight, the A4 is probably lighter. Overall, I think speed will be about the same. Try shooting both, and see which you like more. |

Their are two guys with Flied Speeds at my feild 4 Guys with vikings.
They all shoot around the same bps normally... Both guys with speeds have had gun problems before... The guys with vikings never do... Vikings are just as fast, if not faster, more reliable, and consitent like old faithfull And DC customs vikings rock fools
