: I'll explain this to you but I doubt it will help.

: "what is the point of spending 1000 dollars for a plain angel??? Why not buy a stock autococker and upgrade it to you personal style so you have an awsome looking gun that once it has a hinge trigger on it shoots just as fast as an angel for a fraction of the cost."

: ...I did buy a stock cocker and upgrade it, and now I have a $1000+ cocker that, i'm sorry to tell you, even with a hinge trigger at 1.5mm, I can not shoot it as fast as an angel. 1.5mm is not as short as .05mm.

: "Think about it,"

: ...That'd be a welcome change, let's try that.

: "Cockers are more accurate,"

: ...Is that a fact? So your YEARS of scientific study have disproved every known facet of modern pyhsyics? Wow, I can't wait to hear more.

: shoot farther,and flatter.

: ...WoW!!! You really did disprove it all !!! Wait untill I tell all my buddies that cockers can defy the laws of gravity. Man will they be psyched!

: I mean so what if you have a little screan in your grip imean do you really have time during a game to scroll through all the little fuctions???

: ...Most people scroll through the functions BEFORE a game. Just FYI

: Did i mention cockers are lighter???

: ...No you didn't but i'm glad that you have because that proves you have never in your life so much as touched an angel. A stock cocker with all stock parts weighs more than an angel does. Put some SS or Chrome parts on it and it's a lot heavier. I'll tell you right now My Fly angel is WAY lighter than my cocker Again, just FYI since you seem to have not actually used any sort of thought process for this post.

: "Another thing what's the point of spending so much extra money on a gun capable of shooting fully auto if you can only have set on semi in tourniments and insurance companies won't cover it???"

: ...Well here's a novel idea, you ready for this? Not everyone that owns an angel plays tournaments. Yep, that's right. You don't have to be a card carrying member of the NPPL to buy one. Any rec baller with the money can get one, and big games and scenarios do tend to allow select fire. Just a little more food for thought there.

: Let me end this all by saying this. Don't think I have something against cockers. In fact anyone who knows me around here will tell you exactly the opposite. I know cockers and I know them REAL well. I have mine set up as good as it is possible to be. It stops on balls, it has a 1.5mm pull, it's got suction yada, yada, yada. Bottom line? I simply can not fire the cocker as fast and as easily as the angel. The angel just makes it easier to play. The cocker deffinately has more charachter, but as I said in a post below I don't need my angel to have charachter or a Soul... all she has to do is perform.
: So your question, "Why buy an Angel?" If you have to ask, you don't need to own one.

: -Doc


Ok heres a few things to think about. You said you have a hinge trigger on your cocker, what kind is it?!? Or what kind of three way are you using, if you're using a long one no wonder you can't shoot as fast. or how about your trigger sear is it stock style or roller???? And anyone who has ever shot an angel and a cocker knows that cockers shoot about 20 feet farther than any angel at the same velocity.
