Ego, DM5, Angel Speed 06 - What's Best!?

[WGP4Life]

Heya,

What's best out of all of these? I'm looking for reliablity, efficancy, speed and weight.

Give reasons.




Thanks,
Orlando.

I am a little biased, but I also got 1 of my Egos before I was sponsored by them. So here is why the Ego is SO great.

Ultra Reliable, all you need to do is lube the bolt/rammer and the regs after every few boxes. And if there is something a bit more serious i.e. leak in solenoid or qevs, you can easily access to fix yourself or use the FANTASTIC planet eclipse customer service and get them to fix it for you.

Air efficiency before I turned Ego I had a shocker and that was seriously gas hungry. I am also goof friends with a number of PM6 owners and have tried out various DMs before too. In comparison to all of them the Ego is VASTLY more efficient. Using a 1.1l bottle you could probable use about 7pots and a hopper from a 3000 fill and it would still properly fire those last few shots, not sure how many more you would get after that though. So this is more than enough for almost anyone even when playing as a back and dumping paint.

Lightweight. Egos have got to be one of the lightest guns out there espcially when paired up with a Vlocity. I havn't done direct comparisons but I would guess that it is the lightest of the bunch.

You can't go wrong picking Ego

Obviously a Kingman Spyder is the best - but seeing as you didn't list that one...

Haha, Actually I've already got a spyder E99...

It OWNS.

The dm series and the Pm series especially the pm6 are extremely good with delicate paint- the horror stories about constant maintanence are nothing but that - no more maintanence is required than you would do with an Ego (which i have owned), just unscrew the back plug and it all comes out easy as pie- quick lube and back in it goes.

Reliability - it's a trix, keep them greased an they'll go on and on and on. Plus Dye Uk are easily as good if not better with their support than planet at both events and from their croydon warehouse.

Weight - the pm6 and dm6 are the lightest matrix's so far, they're slightly larger than shockers and a hell of a lot better.

Speed - You'll never find a trix wanting in this department and with a whole manner of chips and boards available any new software change is easy to get. One thing about matrix's is the ease of shooting ropes of paint- they are an extremely stable shooting platform and as such don't kick around allowing you too focus on putting paint on the bad guys.

falling back on the age old saying

'try them and see which one you prefer' if you meet any of $outh Coa$t Quake (my team) at any event, ask for a go on our PM6's

Our backs are shooting ropes, 7 pots + hoppers with a good barrel paint match on a 1.1 @ 4500

personal pref really.

try the guns out. if the speed 05 is anything like the speed 06, i love the accuracy of it. bit of a handful to maintain if you need to get to the rammer etc, but wdp suggest just using love juice through the on off to lube the internals. my only real dislike about the angels is the trigger ... just can't get one to rip.

the egos are nice. you'd be hard pressed to find a tourney without an ego there or find that no one knows how to fix one if they go wrong (which i've never seen) and they easily rip if you can get the trigger adjusted right.

as for dm5s ... i can only go by a pm6 which i've shot and they're pretty nice. small, fairly light and pretty accurate.

they all have their pros and cons ... head down a local tourney and ask people about their markers ... get a feel of them etc etc if poss =)

wrong, you must be doing something wrong. we have several angels on the team and all of them shoot ropes with ease. Just requires the right settings and the right trigger adjustments.

do not be put off by Dip, the angel is a fantastic marker.

consistant, efficient, accurate, the only REAL problem is that they do tend to be a little harder on paint compared to the DMs/PMs.

Come Legion, dip said on the first line of post it is personal preference. Lots of people don't like certain triggers on certain guns, I am not a big fan on the angel trigger either in comparison to Ego or DM/PM triggers. But others have found them to be fine so, but angels are as said well known for being hard on paint which means for consistency you would probably be shooting a harder grade of paint but that means you are more likely to get bounces though.

John, i had been aware that dip had said it was personal preferance, but as i quoted him "You just cant get one to rip", i was simply stating that with the right tweaks and settings they do shoot fast. I don't wish for this to become a Angel vs DM/PM/Ego thread. The ego is a fantastic gun, i for one know that as i infact own one.

 

[dip]

lol ... sorry ... maybe i should have worded it ... i can't get one to rip =S

they are fantastic guns and the angel one looks the business!!! they're unique and they are a piece of engineering! fab looking guns.

sorry if i came through a little biased =S
