I need some help on picking a new gun, I've sold all my toys and other
junk and I got about $1,500 to spend. I was looking a new the Angel
g7's and Dye DM6 my buddy has a DM6 and I don't want to copy him or
anything so I'm leaning towards the g7 but is there anythings else I
should consider? thanks ------------- Tippy 68 Carbine Lapco Bigshot/J&J Ceramic Future: E-Grip |

G7 is an awesome gun...go with that. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

I'm not sure how much a g7 costs, but take things like hoppers and drop forward and tanks into consideration ------------- -Tippy 98c -Polished Interns. -RD Double Trig. -5'' Drop -j+j ceram 14'' -12v revy x-board -SmartParts Grips -Pen Spring Mod -Milled Rear Sight -Filled Front Grip -Blue Paint job |

i have a 68ci PMI Fiberwrap tank, also I've looked a dropforwards and
some other things that will set me back $100.00. The hopper I partly
own from my bro its a Halo B with rip drive he uses on his 05
Speed.they just opend a new speedball feild up here in the AK. I don't
think I would make it with my Tippmann 68 carbine that has a 3lb
trigger. any suggestion on dropforwards,tanks, and hoppers whould be
great.

if u are looking at a g7 get a g7 fly they are now only 899 at actionvillage also angel need a low pressure tank so if you don't have that you will be looking at buying a tank. one of the best guns on the market right not if not the best is a planet eclipse ego if i were u id look into one. also a bob long infamous timmy is a great gun to look at. ------------- A-5 14" J&J WAS E-grip JCS Duel |

People tend to hate on Angel owners. If you can't take that then get an Ego so you can be "cool." If you really want a G7/Fly then definitely wait until the One is released. |

i know almost everyone at my feild and i've been playing with an old
school .68 carbine with a solid copper air line and regular gravity fed
hopper.. I'm one of better players out there and now its time for an
upgrade. g7 fly is where im headed maybe even the new angel (buddy of
mine works at a shop) i don't know. i like the feel of the angels and
everything else just had something that didn't feel natural to me. i
will check out the other guns you mentioned and ill leave my
input.thanks for yours keep it coming. what about barrels, drop forwards, tanks, hoppers etc...? thanks again ------------- Tippy 68 Carbine Lapco Bigshot/J&J Ceramic Future: E-Grip |

Stock is fine. If you upgrade, get an Orbium kit: http://www.fixmyangel.com - www.fixmyangel.com Hybrid Grind or Unimount. Crossfire 45/45 or 68/45 LP, or a Macdev Legionair. Reloader B or Halo with at least a Victory board. |

for 1500 there is alot of nice guns. all the egos but the sl66 is
in your range, the light trooper nexus's look awsome. theres also the 06 cyborgs, angels, all the different shockers the hybrid is one of the sweetest out |

I've been through tons of high end guns, and even though this sounds
cliche, ask people at your field to try their guns before
deciding. Everything in that price range becomes personal
preference.

| I recently shot a dm6 at my local woodsball course...dont ask...and it was freaking amazing, I was shooting liike 15 bps and I had never actually walked a real trigger in my whole life. Im sure now that Im experienced I could hit 20 and up but Id go with the dm6, Ive never tried an angel anyway...egos are good too. or you could go for a shocker and then upgrade the gun like crazy and get nitrogen tanks and covers, and harnesses, and drop forwards and boards a magnettic trigger, a body kit, freak barrel kit. the upgrades are endless! |

I can promise you you will never be able to truly move your fingers 20 times a second. The gun might have been bouncing or ramping, or, more commonly, you dont realy know what 15 bps sounds like, and you were guessing. I did it all the time before I got my ramping board for my viking and was able to find out what it truly was, and I realized how slow I was shooting. Anyway, get an Empire or Infamous 2 06 timmy, buy a technatrigger and a virtue board, and I promise you you will be set. -------------

ya try the gun out first before you buy it...i was going to buy an autococker, and my friend just bought one. I was up here in my room trying to buy it, but my dads credit card for some reason wasnt working (working now). So i just waited to buy the autococker. I went paintballing the next day and tried my friends cocker out. I HATE the feel of them, and im not going to buy it. So with trying my friends cocker out i just saved myself alot of money. Bought myself a 72/3000 tank and a proto el switch anti fog mask instead.

| I shoot a sl66, by far the best gun I have ever owned, my son is presently shooting Angel G-7, it is also very nice but not a paint friendly as the sl66 but that is mainly due to the bolt design. If eclispe were to aftermarket thie dart bolt design alot of guns would perform really well, have fun making you decision |

| Yeah, I'm kinda surprised at the price on it. When the G7 was first released, the MSRP was 2100 bucks. |

Does anyone know when "The One" is going to be released? I would like
to get a feel for it before I consider buying it. I got a hold on a DM6
and EGO they seem really comfortable and easy to shoot but I can't
really make up my mind untill I get my hand on "The One" my buddy
ordered one so when its released I will try it out and give you the
imput..thanks for everybodys say on this.

Have you shot an 06 Cyborg? With the saved cash you could easily buy a Sly/Stiffi/Matchstick barrel kit and have money for the upgrades coming out, which are supposed to be insane. The 06's I've shot compare with my friend's Pev's egos and it beats all the angels I've ever shot. ------------- -Cobalt to White Sonic Cyborg --7 Piece Matchstik Kit ---White Suicide'd Halo B ----PMI Stubby w/ NXE Cover |

The first batch is scheduled to ship on the 23rd of June. Whether or not your friends gun goes out the door on the 23rd depends on the color he ordered. I trust you have seen the full pics on http://www.angelforce.tv - www.angelforce.tv ? |
