Personal preference. Both are very good guns. Try before you buy. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

Which Timmy? Which Angel? Some timmys are better than some angels and vice versa. I would pick a Timmy though, because my friend has an Alias and we both rock with that gun. ------------- Overshooting, America's greatest pastime. |

Which Speed? Which Timmy? And more Pros use Timmies because BL is more eager to sponsor than WDP is. |

Remember, too, that the newest of Angels aren't taking the old standard Angel barrels, they take the "new Angel" threads. Similar to A-5, but apparantly just different enough. Timmies take Cocker barrels, which are available cheap by the truckload. Timmies are more condusive to a little tinkering here and there, whereas an Angel is almost a sealed unit (don't futz with one unless you know what you're doing, and really really have to!).
As the others have said, too, which Angel and which Timmy? Angels with eyes are fantastic guns, and they've done a lot with the triggers in the past 18 months. Timmies are ruthlessly fast, and even a Classic can be brought up to 05 levels with enough dollars and effort. Then again, an older Angel can be sent off to get Fly'd and Eye'd.... What a can-o-worms, eh? ------------- http://www.geocities.com/limitedpump - Limited Pump Paintball |

A4s are terrible. They don't even have eyes. |

| ^^^^ Good point. HUGE difference between an A4 and an A4 Fly. But A4 Fly and 05 Speed are probably the best bang for buck (IMO) on the market today. |

I as do I. But, if you can afford a G7, get it. I shot one a couple months ago. It was like, it came from heaven, it was so nice. |

A4 Fly prices have fallen through the basement, too. Just saw one over at Automags for $525! They're great guns... I loved mine, right up until I stepped away from the "rate of fire" game. ------------- http://www.geocities.com/limitedpump - Limited Pump Paintball |
