Excalibur vs. Ir3

[Collier]

I am surprised Paul didn't recommend a Viking

AKA do have a new ultralight Excal and regular one isn't particularly heavier anyway but Viking has almost all the virtues of the Excal and when you begin to compare prices, typical tourney field sizes these days and new AKA software why not go Viking? You won't be outshot and better yet more balls will go exactly where you want them compared to an Angel.

And, oh yeah, Micah is actually almost correct except that muscle growth bit. If a few ounces of gun weight is gonna put some meat on his bones he clearly needs the exercise.

Well the viking does rock, but for a change I thought I'd try and pick a marker out the 2 suggested. but yeah give me a choice between viking and angel (lcd,IR3..whatever) I'd choose a viking... oh wait, I did!

I'm lazy. What's the price difference? I kinda want to sell what will soon be a back up cocker (made up of spare bits ... but they dont look spare if that makes sence) and buy another cool 'gun ... So I was thinking about the UL Viking ...

Talk me out of it Paul

Check this link for Vikings in the states. http://www.paintballnorthwest.com/smtpaintball/paintball-guns.html

In the UK go to

I went for a half milled diamond dust.

NOt sure how much you can pick an angel up for in the states, quite a bit more then this though I think! The price differance between the Viking and Excal is around $400.

does the bolt on an excalibur close with enough force to chop a ball?

Once broken in no, niether does the viking. The excalliber run approx 10 psi lower then the viking.

Why not a beautiful new matrix lcd? They are excellent, and the efficiency problem the led had is fixed in the lcd, and they ae very shiney

Efficiency maybe sorted but reliability is still a problem.

does the viking take cocker barels?

 

[Collier]

Yes.

Can you "walk" the trigger of the new excals like you can an angel? Or is it like the older excals that will not let you?
