Cant comment mate.
2 team members who pre ordered them are still awaiting delivery,

Hey that scenario sounds familiar within Paintball, any one else pre ordered something with a release date and not recieved it?
also noticed that the companies are normally far from apologetic or helpful when you call to try and get an idea where the hell your stuff is?

Is this just a british thing or do you guys get that in the states too?

well, the marker i had been using the most before the IR3 was an imp vision which was fast, however the IR3 elevates rof to a new level ( at least for me ) as usual i spent about 1 second looking at the instruction manual so the first case was fired with COPS off!! when i worked out how to switch it on there did not seem to be a noticeable difference. even if there was though surely a slight fall off in the rate of fire will still deliver more paint to the opposition than getting the squeegie out to clean all the gunk out either the breech or barrell??

:) imp with i frame
:D IR3
:mad: wife seeing the bill for them both

need to get hold of Tank for an exit
I didn't look too closely when I had a little play with one, but that "grill/mesh" looking stuff on the sight rail/sides - is that actually a grill, or is it just cleverly coloured (ie silver with black polka dots) solid metal??

I'd guess that WDP would make it solid, unless cleaning paint from inside the marker is covered on the warranty? ;)

IR3

Rooster : Just come back from the Max Masters ..... The ir3 has a slight problem??? when setting up the trigger it is known that you can fire two, three balls at once.... as a member of the UK Jaguars found out when he was BANNED from the Tournament because of this.... the micro switch in the set up can be set up so fine that it does fire this mode .... I feel the Penalty for the player been a novice as well was far to servere as the cost for these events is a lot of money and to ban a player for the whole tournament is bad.... Considering if you had a hot gun on the field or a problem you where just not allowed to play that game..

We tuck the gun to WDP and they know of this problem but say its the players Fault has they dont set up the triggers ???
Yet the Angel IR3 is made to be one of the fastest Markers out there so surely there should be a warning on the markers saying the above?? This problem caused the player to think twice about the IR3 and has cost him about £2500 for the Gun set up and Germany event ..... He is not a happy Person....it also cost the Jaguars a Finals Spot.....
So in all Beware !!!!!!!
