Priced exactly in the same region as the Speed 05, and from what i've seen so far, i'd go with the Angel.

The Ego looks ok, perhaps a little too much like a toy from the pics. I will have to get a proper up close and personal look.

Will Nexus be shooting these? Or will they continue to use their Cockers?

Anyone else think it looks the SAME as this....

Just its got a shaft barrel and E2 grip on it and new foregrip :)

Still looks nice, and since its from Planet,I wouldnt write it off as a replacement for many tourny markers :).

Speedbird- I'ld think Nexus would be shooting the "Nexus" cocker ;), although the Nexus Eclipse team might shoot these, who knows :cool:

As for vid, sure somewhere I read that ones going to be released on Monday :)

Graham :cool:

Sorry guys but you all know sh!t

This gun is gonna be bought by you all soon as you see it.

The pics dont do it justice. Loads of new features and its made in the uk by the guys we can all trust.

Think about the total package:-

Very simple mechanism (even i could fix it!)
Planets tech service (you ever tried getting some guns fixed in the UK)
Super fast (at least as fast a a timmy with no bounce)
Super light (lighter than any timmy/angel I've held)
Etc Etc

This is the type of gun the Pro's use. Small, fast and easy to fix between games.

Thought a lot of you guys would get behind Planet with this new gun but when i'm blowing you off the field with it next year you'll be going out buying one!

Oh and the overhang on the back of the gun is perfect for carrying and doesn't dig into your wrist when playing with it like some snatch grips do.

"Plus Why are they still going on about bounce? Its getting boring now!!!"

Oh really, do you think ?

I'd say bouncing is a rather large topic within the paintball world right now and has impact on every tournament player, so if Planet are doing something TO HELP YOU OUT and get on the field without some bouncy fingered chrono dork not letting you on I'd say let Planet have their glory, at least they're trying to fix these issues.

I'd be interested to hear your views once you've shot one of these uzi's, or rather been shot by one.

Price I think is very good, particularly for the performance you're going to get, sounds like you guys want the performance of an F1 car for the price of a Fiesta.
