Virtue Crown - King of Hoppers June 30th, 2008



If you've played paintball in the last year or two, and you're fairly observant to other player's gear, you have probably seen a good amount of people use what's called a "Speed Feed" on their hoppers while playing. A Speed Feed is a very simple product for your hopper/loader that attaches at the top, replacing your lid. The obvious reason for using a Speed Feed is to load and HOLD paintballs in your hopper without having to open/close the lid during games. Virtue just released their version of the Speed Feed, cleverly called the Crown, at this summer's 2008 Chicago PSP Open.

If you run out of paint during a game, it isn't exactly convenient for you to open your lid and pour a pod of paintballs in your hopper then close it. Today, paintball is getting so aggressive that (good) players specifically look for the exact moment where you retract into your bunker to refill paint so they can move up the field (or worse, bunker you). The Virtue Crown also keeps your paintballs from flying out of your hopper, for those "extraordinary" situations (see video below). The innovation behind the Virtue Crown has been widely accepted by most paintballers today because they're relatively cheap ($20 retail), and can ultimately help you win a few more games with your team.



Key Features for the Virtue Crown

* Ultra Fast Lid-Less Feed
* No Rise Low Profile Option
* Secure Locking Ring w/ Thumbscrew
* Durable, Memory Resistant Elastomer Will Not Crack or Get Brittle
* Available in Ultra-Soft or Standard Elasticity Versions.
* Extra Paint Capacity (with optional, including, extension collar) - HALO only
* Compatible with HALO, Magna, Revolution, Force, Eye Force (Vlocity versions coming soon)

NXe JRNY February 10th, 2008



NXe JRNY Paintball Hopper

"The JRNY has arrived", according to nxejrny.com. This new self-praised paintball hopper has been getting a great response from the paintball community thus far. The NXe JRNY officially hit the shelves February 1st, but with limited supply due to a "software problem" on their first batch (so far so good guys!).

The video below is the NXe CEO explaining the new hopper. I actually think it's going to perform fairly well on field; unless of course they have another software problem.

Here is a little bit more information about what makes the JRNY unique:

WDP Angel G7 Fly January 26th, 2007


Angel A4 Fly G7

What Item “ WDP Angel G7 Fly

Period of Use “ 1 Year

Similar Products used “ 1998 Angel LED, 2001 Angel LCD , 2002 Angel LCD, 2004 Angel Speed, 2005 Angel Speed

Marker Setup “ Angel G7 Fly, black to blue fade, 72ci/4500psi crossfire stubby nitro tank, Empire Reloader B, Freak barrel 14inch,.

Recommended upgrades “ Angel Master Tech valve to increase efficiency. Upgrade barrel to increase accuracy. Predator laser eyes.

Strengths “ The Angel G7 Fly is one of the nicest looking marker out on the market today, there is not 1 marker that surpasses it in looks. It also has a fairly adjustable trigger, so you can walk it pretty easily. The G7 Fly is also lighter than any of its predecessors, so is much more balanced. The G7 Fly also comes with a 14 inch barrel stock, not like the 12 inch barrels they used to give stock with their guns.

Weaknesses “ The G7 fly, although lighter than any of its predecessors, is much heavier than the other gun groups on the marker such as egos and intimidators. They stock efficiency on the G7 fly also leaves something to be desired. The G7 fly also has a bit more kick than I would have liked in a gun.

Review “ I bought my Angel G7 fly about a year ago, and was fairly surprised out of the box. It was one of the nicest looking Angels I had ever seen! It is not ready to go strait out of the box as they do not have an On/Off on it, which was pretty annoying, and once you put an On/Off on it, it would no longer fit in the box. So I got the angel set up, slapped on my tank and my loader, and proceeded to test it at my local field.

Accuracy “ The Stock Angel G7 Fly barrel, although 14 inches, leaves something to be desired. It does not clean itself as well as let's say the Eclipse Ego barrel do. It was also VERY loud compared to other barrels. You can hear this barrel from the other side of the field.

Chopping “ The Stock Angel G7 Fly is very good at not braking brittle paint. It has a patented soft face bolt, which is very easy on the balls. The good thing about Angels, is that even if you do get a break, not only in the barrel but in the firing chamber as well, it is very easy to clean out even if you are on the field. Just pop the chamber open and run a swab through. The G7 Fly has a new laser eye system as well which dramatically reduces chopping when your eyes are on.

Efficiency “ The Stock Angel G7 Fly lacks something on efficiency. I was getting about 1050 shots off my 68/45 tank, less than most of my other guns. After a month or two, I put in the Angel Master Tech valve, and was getting efficiency comparing to egos. A very easy upgrade for a very good payoff.
Looks “ The Angel G7 Fly is definitely the nicest looking angel ever put out by WDP.

Reliability/Warranty “ My g7 Fly only broke down a couple of times, because of using different tanks and changing up the pressures. The bad thing about Angels is that if you do need a fix if a piece is broken or such, there are very few stores that carry Angel parts, and you will most likely need to send it back to WDP, who are kind of slow with their warranty process. Although they do a good fixit job on the Angels, you can end up waiting over 2 weeks to receive your gun back.

Weight “ The G7 Fly is a good couple ounces lighter than its predecessor, the Angel G7 standard, so it does feel more balanced, but it does not compare to an Eclipse Ego's weight which is about 2 pounds, and good half a pound lighter than the G7 Fly. It can sometimes get tiresome holding this clunker up for a good half hour.

Misc “ Angels can really only be run on low pressure tanks, and it can be VERY annoying if you don't have one and want to use your angel. You will get pressure spikes and inconsistent velocity, and a significant amount of kick.

Conclusion “ The Angel G7 Fly is a solid consistent gun, but is not recommended if you are a front man playing airball, or if your trying to be inconspicuous in scenario (This thing is shiny!)

Rating “ 7/10
