neill. still got the cocker. it is a piece of art, considering a room with dust on, or a brick can be considered art.
keeping it as back up, will get it timed by planet.

anyway. as you may well know. i have ordered a viking. is a no milling, red to yellow fade. and mine is on the same order as the one you are considering. if i were you, thats what i would go for.

what more can i ask for from a marker? you know what ya get, i would repeat it all, but im not on commision from paul collier :p

have seen some mighty fine examples of them, but just stock black, they are perfect sleeper markers, might not look the most bling, but oooweee tiger, shoots like a dream.
personally havent tried a speed, so cant have much of an opinion on that, but the viking has my vote, and it takes alot of persuading to make me part with this amount of money, so there must be something good about them.

i dont have pics yet, but should have it with me on the next warped walk on if you havent decided by then.

for more info on vikings, take a look at the aka forum on pbnation, lots of info over there, and many many videos which i have been drooling over.

laters. mike

The speeds:

1. Look the nuts!
2. Shoot amazingly fast
3. Are backed by WDP's legendary customer after sales support.

This will seem like a fairly obvious thing to say too, but the Speed is used by Dynasty, Avalanche, Legion and other world clas teams loking to get every ounce of performance out of their guns. Does any pro team use the Viking?

Speed!;)

well i have a viking. got it 3 days ago and haven't stopped playing with it!
i have a voodoo impulse with a stupidly short i frame trigger and a raced evo x, again very very fast. without even getting used to the trigger on the viking it outshoots them both.

i aslo had 2 bags of paint that had sat on the back seat of the car since the last series 2003. took them out today and the painballs were actually clumped together in big bunches like grapes! gave them a few hard knocks to sperate them put them in the hopper and blasted through the whole mishapen lot with no probs!

the viking is without doubt the fastest marker i have ever shot. the speed is also meant to be pretty damn fast as well so i guess its down to preference. try an aka though cos they fire like u wouldn't beleive, are really gentle on the paint ( 60 psi ) and are really really efficient.

if u r gonna be at elsham for the stb say u r welcome to put a hopper though it if u want

do u think that if there was a better deal with 3 times the support and more actual cash to shoot timmy's they would say no, lets keep with wdp? bollocks. the top players will still be awesome with the half dozen top performing markers out there.

the reason companies invest so much in sponsorship................... so people buy the product cos they think if so and so pro can do it with that kit so can i.

tippmann effect are pretty good and hardly any tourny players in the UK would be seen dead with a tippmann!
