[rusty56]

hi, im thinking of geting my self a angel g7 fly arsenal but so far my previous experience with an angel is shoting one for 1 game at the masters.
so im just looking for some info, is there anything i need to watch out for in particular, with this model. i know if the battery goes it cost around £100 to replace is this a common problem? the stock feed neck will my halo fit in? just stuff like that please i have been on angelowners i have activated my acount but i cant post up and is full of yanks anyway
thanks rusty

Like any rechargable battery, it depends on how you treat them, I am sure you would be able to pick a new one up from the classifieds a lot cheaper than that, yeah the feedneck will fit a halo

ask tom allen about angels,

i can supply a replacement battery pack for around £20 - £30.

I would go for the A1 if you can afford it.

and a puff of smoke and the genie of the angel appears

wow £40 il keep you in mind i would love the A1 but i dont have the money i have a pmr with a UL trigger and evil pipe kit to raise the money to buy the g7 fly arsenal for around £250. also you know with the lpr will i need a new bottle, at the moment i have a 4500psi carbon fiber bottle and a 5000psi reg how do you know what psi the air is coming out at? and and what psi dose it need to be at for an angel?
thanks rusty

This is going to sound daft, but i would stick with a speed 05 rather than the G7. The speed is better value for money, and still uses the old barrel thread, so you'll be able to get a barrel set easier. And it uses a PP3 battery.

 

[rusty56]

erm ok im so confused so many angels wouldnt it be better to get the new angel thread so any new barrels coming out will fit ? and speed 05 any more differnces?

The speed 05 had most of the good upgrades on it, and i don't feel that it's worth upgrading past the speed 05, unless you go to the A1. With the barrels, the speed 06 and g7's have a slightly different thread layout to the A1. Although you can use the speed 06/g7 barrels on the A1 there is a 6mm gap, which is only cosmetic and doesn't stop the barrels from working perfectly. As far as buying second hand barrels for angels, there are far more barrels available for the speed 05 range than the speed06/G7/A1 range.

erm ok well im not sure what to go for now, definitely want an angel for around the £200/£250 mark thats fast, accurate ect. and NEEDS to have up to date electronics with psp mode and semi capped and extra modes for people who i dont like, easy to maintain, not sort of last years gear i know what i mean, so it will be easy to get spare parts and stuff after iv had it for a while, and just nice to look at
thanks for the help so far rusty
