I just sold my 04 prostock with E2 and it was a fast gat, but to get the most out of the E2 you would have to upgrade your ram to something like the belsales 44 magnum ram with QEV's

the 04 i had i just sent the gat to belsales and got them to add there evolution upgrade kit to it.

Although Spitfired A4s will solve this problem.
What problem? I thought A4s used the Sensei thing to do in effect the same job as eyes? Do A4s have a tendency to chop, even if set up properly? Is a Spitfired A4 better (chop-wise anyway) than a regular one?

You have alot to learn buddy

Sensi was the biggest pile of nan-wollock to step foot on this earth - The theory is great - realistically it was bollocks and didn't particularly work well...

Personally i'd go A4 because they are realy easy guns to maintain and really fast.. cockers are relatively trouble whatever the frame they have on them.

The spitfire mod, that John Does put anti chop eyes on the marker and replaces the board to a programmable board which simpler read outs. By far the most acheving upgrade for angels ive seen since the release of the first Eblade for cockers

What the hell is nan-wollock?!

I agree with scars. People kept telling me the sensi on my iR3 was fine when it was set up properly and yet no on seemed able to set it up properly...

I think we appear to have ended up in the arse-end of 2005 with what we might consider a core feature set of a 'standard' tournament-level marker, and that means light, fast, reliable, eyes, ramping capability. That seems considerably more true now than in it did in January, but then we didn't know about the Ion then, did we?

Lord knows, it's like pickalili, nobody knows what the hell it is, but still eat it..:)

What makes you think were at the arse end?? We have finally got it into our heads that Paintball markers are tools and that simple designs are good - Most of us just want markers that throw paint well and are easily managable (light) whilst a few years back there were people tradeing 04 speeds back for ir3 becasue they missed the cutlass and the LCD screen... ask them now if they would do the same trade?

Sensi's not as bad as it's made out, and the A4 is a great gun. I'm still shooting one as a primary (but don't go by me, I haven't played in over 6 months. I basically just tinker the hell out of markers, I don't actually play with 'em anymore :) ). COPS was Sensi's predecessor, featured on the IR3, and gave Sensi a bad name before it even had a chance to prove itself. COPS required quite a bit of fiddling and setup to get it consistently preventing chops. Sensi on the other hand automagically configures itself, and works quite well in my experience. But with the modern angels, you can get the pressures low enough that you can easily pinch balls instead of chopping them anyway, even if your Sensi, or eyes on the A4 Fly and up, fails. The A4 will probably be lighter, it's every bit as fast or faster (not really a huge consideration anymore, seeing as how everybody's playing 15 bps anyway), easy as hell to maintain and a solid built marker. I might be biased toward angels a bit, but I've got a ton of experience with 'cockers too, and I'm a huge fan of them myself, but I think most people between those two gats would be happier with the A4. 'Course the standard, reasonable, unbiased response is: Try them both yourself and see which one you like.
