Ignore the trolls. The Angel Speed is a good gun. Earlier Angels had issues with their various sensor systems, but the Speed has "regular" eyes, so no problem there. Some people feel the need to upgrade the regulator, but I personally think the stock reg is plenty for regular folks. It doesn't have as many firing modes with the stock board as the "regular" Angels, but that shouldn't be an issue unless you plan on doing serious tournaments. Just make sure to get a fast hopper. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

If it is an '03-'04 Speed, it won't have eyes, it will have SENSI. Not the most desirable system in the world, but if you set it up properly and use a fast hopper, it will work out fine. As for most everything else, the Speed will do what you need it to do. Make sure you are using a low pressure output HPA tank, and if you don't have one, you can mod your Angel's regulator to handle high pressure better. See http://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?t=2337957 - link. Also, make sure you are using a fast enough hopper. A hopper that can feed 21+ BPS will be good if it is an '03 or '04, but anything newer than that you are looking at theoretical capabilities of 30+ BPS. However, unless you use ramping or other 'cheater' settings, your average Halo or similar should be plenty fast. There isn't really much to upgrade in an Angel, as they come from the factory with extremely high quality parts, and considering the price you pay they very well should. As Rambino said, a new regulator might be desirable, but the stock one should be fine for the average player. If you want more modes or to shoot faster, your going to be looking at a new board. Also, a barrel kit is desirable for any marker, but not a necessity. Whatever you do, make sure you go out and play before buying anything, because at that point you'd simply be buying parts, not upgrades. Figure out where you want to improve your marker and work from there. If you ever have any questions, feel free to PM me. I am an Angel owner myself and can help with most basic questions about them. -------------

Ah, my mistake. I thought the original Speed was the first post-Sensi Angel. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

The first angel with eyes was the A4 Fly. The 03-04 Speed is a good gun. Very reliable and fast enough. If its the 05+ speed, it will have eyes. |

first thing you want to do is get the software updated, if it isn't already. The version I have swaps out the practice mode, and makes it PSP ramping mode.

What in my post would make you disagree? I don't know all too much about them, but I felt I knew enough to help this kid with what he was asking, and I'm pretty sure I did. -------------
