General Comments

Ok, first this thing is great looking, no picture online quite grasps the clean lines and rich textured anno this thing has! It is absolutely breathtaking!

Out of the box it is ready to go, make a few chrono adjustments and start ripping, but read the cd-rom supplied to understand the settings and how they affect your marker before attempting to shoot at full capability. It is programmed with no bounce and shooting maximum 15 bps out of the box. The marker is fairly quiet when shooting paint and very, very little kick. When you start ripping on the trigger you really cant notice any kick at all and no drop off. I would however recommend a low pressure tank, even though some say it can handle a high pressure tank, go low pressure and make things easier on the marker. After all, it cost $1500.00 and if in case you happen to over pressurize the marker, it isn't going to be pretty. Now on to the comments some make about this not being worth the extra money over the regular speed. It is, you get an LCD screen, more of a low pressure set up, better internals and a all round great marker! It only needs to be oiled every 8,000 shots and greased every 20,000 shots. Talk about easy maintenance! I personally prefer an LCD over an LED, easier interface and less room for error.

Shooting for the first game was very easy to achieve the maximum bps I had it set for, with some trigger adjustments to my liking. Extremely efficient on a 68 4500 lp Angel Air tank i got around 1800 shots on a hot fill. Some say Angels "lob" balls across the field, and physics prove this to be wrong, I wont go into that, this thing shoots lazers across the field. The eyes, with proper settings, do not chop. What i mean by proper settings is, you can physically set how many balls per second you want to shoot. But if you have it set to 25 bps, and your hopper settings set low, its not gonna do 25 bps. Please if you are not familiar with the settings read the manual carefully before playing and getting frustrated. Consistency, well hows +/- 2 fps for ya?

Hopper, if you really want to shoot this thing at full potential, the halo b and the victory (v.35) board is the only way you are gonna achieve 30 bps. If you just want a fast hopper for tourney play, any hopper that is force feed will work, egg, halo b, empire reloader b, etc.

Feed neck, this is the first feed neck i have had that stock fits my halo b! Wow, right, usually you have to sand down, not with this marker! I like the o-ring set up, it works very well, but what would a $1500.00 marker be with something that wasn't thought about?

Barrel, stock is great, but there are quieter barrels out there. If you do get another barrel, don't skimp on this, the marker is light, so don't go and get a $30.00 5 pound barrel to go on it.

ASA, i use a check it unimount, i don't really think it is necessary to put a drop forward on it, but it is totally up to the user on that, it is a personal preference only. But do get one with an on/off.

Eyes, these are the best eyes i've ever seen on any marker period. WDP really thought long and hard on which eyes to come out with. They work great and efficiently, i haven't chopped yet!

Conclusion: This is the best marker out there IMHO, and when you get into the $1,000.00 range, the difference in markers is feel and software. Go test them, or read a lot about them, I love mine and anyone who has that kind of money to spend would be lucky to own one. The craftsmanship WDP put into this marker is phenomenal, if you have every seen one you will know what im saying. Great marker, best on the market IMHO, and fastest marker out there, period.

Total Respect: +1
