Smart Parts is going out of business. They are already temporarily shut down. That being said, the Epiphany is ok at best. The A5 is a 98 with a cyclone and a few other minor details. That being said, if you want a Smart Parts gun, go for either the Vibe or the SP1. They are the same gun and both miles ahead of the Ion, Epiphany, and Redz. Vibe = $150 SP1 = $175 I highly recommend the Azodin Blitz. If you want to shoot fast, look no further. You can also get the modes on your board changed for free. $170 The A5 is ok. It's not fast unless you put an E-grip in it. Personally, I prefer the 98 over the A5. As for your question as to which gun is better, it's hard to say. The A5 is made to shoot single shot. It is also made for a lot of aesthetic upgrades. The Epiphany is essentially the opposite. It's made to shoot fast and made for a lot of performance upgrades. The problem with guns like the Epiphany, Ion, and Redz is to make them shoot really well, you have to put $200 of upgrades on it. The Azodin Blitz shoots excellent out of box, the Vibe/SP1 shoots ok out of box. A Blackheart board turns them into one of, if not the best sub $300 gun out there. |
