Other Thoughts

Basic tuning of the A1 is not too difficult though advanced settings (such as Joy or Rage) should probably be done by a professional. The trigger pull is easy to get just like you want it and the scroll wheel and LCD screen are very easy to use. There are many settings (breakout, ramping, full auto, etc.) so you can get your gun to play just like you want it to.

The A1 requires compressed air. The manual recommends using a low pressure compressed air tank at 400 psi, though it does allow high pressure tanks up to 850 psi. I had no problems with an HP tank, but if you are worried, be sure to go low pressure.

If you want to be able to accurately shoot any kind of paint, you should consider getting a barrel kit that includes smaller bores. There are a number of manufacturers that make the Angel 1 (not the same threading as all other Angel guns) threaded barrel kits, so you have some options.

Pros

  • Very light and very low profile
  • Cheaper than some other high-end guns
  • Very customizable trigger
  • Included low-rise feedneck

Cons

  • Included barrel backs are larger than many paintballs
  • Limited cosmetic upgrades available
