AKA Viking

[steve_e]

Sure thing!!! Stock viking facts. . .

approx 2000 shots from a 1.1 4.5k
built in LPR bolt operates between 60-72psi
board programmable to what ever rof you want 27.7 and 30.3 work very well with Halo B's
Has best inline reg on the market as standard providing excellent consistancy (Sidewinder)

Oh yeah also as reliable as they come and bugger all maintenance required.

Not and upgrade in sight. . . the only thing you need is an air system. . even the stock Javelin barrel is damn good!

It says something when the only available upgrades for the actual gun are grips (cos the stock plastic panels are crap! ) and feed necks!!!

WAS are considering doing a replacement board for them . . . whenever that'll see the light of days is anyones guess!

I think Baca Loco covered the Viking rather well. Read his article (posted in the gun review section) then ask him for further comment.

Thanks, KO. Steve definitely knows his stuff regarding the Viking, not sure I'd have alot to add as I more or less agree with him though I'd like to see AKA offer a larger single bore size Javelin barrel.

However It would be poor reviewer who relied on a single source or the word from the manufacturer to base a review on.

I thought it was a damn good review myself!

As for the Javelin .. .well. . . AKA have altered them slightly you can get .684 and .688, also they've also alter the porting slightly by adding a couple of extra rows to reduce noise. I've got one of the .688 and it fits my Nelson Anarchy a treat!

So there ya go!

so would you choose the viking over the matrix? and where can you get a viking with a few different options(like colors and boards) and a fairly cheap price?

I personally would, more than anything because they are far less hassle in maintenance. There is nothing to strip, lube or O rings to change. It all comes down to personal preference really, but also price wise the Viking is pretty much the same as stock Matrix ($800). Where to get them from depends on if your in the US or UK. The US there is plenty of places around such Northwest Paintball, Compulsive and several others.

Otherwise Alpha Paintball (me) is the only reseller in europe. If you want read more bout the Viking have a look on the Pbnation forum as this is regarded as the Viking/Excalibur Owners Group.
