Owned both, Speed is quite a bit quicker in my opinion, but again, it really depends which you the user can fire fastest.

I'm actually writing a review of the Speed at the moment which I will be posting up on www.angel-owners.com in the next few days. I'll PM you with the link to it if you are interested?

Not that I'm an expert or anything, but it will be a 'no hype' objective review, which in the Paintball world seems very hard to find...

Arse and feck

rof is not everything, spending most of my time cowering behind a bunker, I look more for a marker that is gonna send 3 or 4 balls in the right direction when I finally get chance to stick my head out for 2 or 3 seconds. The Eblade allows me to get closer to achieving that. The speed is a very very nice looking marker, but I have to say that it is a 'boy racer' marker, I mean, cummon, who in a tournament is gonna be looking at their grip frame wanting to know if they are shooting into the red on its built in bpsrevcounter. That has been put there purely for showing off (probably in the areas we have all been complaining about in the tournie thread - camping areas, road signs, trees etc).

Eblade has no such nonsense, it is simple, efficient, and does a better job out on the field than I do.

Case closed

(I withhold the right to completely disregard any further posts on this subject as nonsense, as I know best) ;)

First of do you understand why its easier to achieve a high rof with a high rof cap? 30 as apposed to 20 bps for example? If not its because to achieve 20 bps on a marker with a cap of 20 bps you have to hit the trigger at exactly 1/20th of a second 20 times in a second, on a marker set at 30 bps you need to pull the trigger with less exact timing to achieve the same rof.
To try this grab an angel LCD set the max rof to 13, fire as quickly as you can then do the same setting the max rof to 20. See which setting its easier to pull 13 bps on.


In closed bolt markers each trigger pull cycles the marker at the given max rof. for example if I had a closed bolt marker and set the max rof to 30 bps, every shot would cycle at that speed! Try finding a hopper to feed that! Becasuse of this a less generous max bps figure has to be set, because this figure is lower it makes it harder to achieve the high rof.

Hope that makes sense.

tha man speaks the truth..

If you set a Race frame to cycle at 20bps, it will fire that fast even if you pull the trigger once..if your hopper can't cope you'll chop every shot, not just when you fire fast, it;s all down to the timing of the individual parts of the cycle process.

Nice to see some sense being spoken, as always its best to try b4 you buy. Most of us will be more than happy to lend a fellow baller a shiney new toy at the range, if not get a marshal shirt and stand near a crony and demand to shoot players markers :)
