Welcome to the forums. Just remember that Paintball is 90% the player skill and 10% the equipment. So with this said if it was a moderate skilled team all with Angels and Bad Company I would put my money on Bad Company.

ohh.............wow technical........hahaha.......

However, if you were to put Joy Division against Bad Company...I'd take Joy division....

Given equal skills of all players on the field, with one side shooting the newest blow back spyders and one shooting the newest Angels - it could turn out to be whoever made it to the flag first. However, if you were to line the guns up side to side and compare features...Angels win, hands down - yes, I own a spyder AND an angel - I'd take the angel any day.

ohh....but i bet (if i was in it) that it would be a fun a chalenging battle. cause i have heard of people on this forum with some real sick guns like they have upgraded guns to like 45CPS and just have a lot of sick upgrades with T-Boards and Z-Boards Im just saying that it would be a very interesting fight especially to do like a D-day scenerio game or somthing. it would be awsome!

I don't know. My sonix has a ton of ups on it, and it's low pressure, etc. I also had a massively up'd TES and T1, and none of them compared to the angel - except, well, there's just no comparison.

As far as cycles go, all guns can cycle extremely fast. But put paint in them, and most with aftermarket boards are going to be limited to the shooters finger speed and how well you have your trigger/microswitch set up.

Now, if you wanna see company against company, the IAO does a tournament every year where the teams all have to be shooting guns from the same manufacturer.

Spyders are like the Honda Civics of paintball, cheap, effective, and upgradeable. Angels are like the Ferrari's or Lambourghini's, fast, clean, and purty. Spyders are good and all, but they won't match up to a Angel's gas efficiency, reliability, or ability. However, if you drop in $100 on a Spyder, you can get it to shoot as fast as an Angel, but thats about it, Spyders usually cant run on less than 300psi (and thats after heavy modification), but Spyders can be upgraded into different guns, like Intimidators or The Ones. If you dish out the high dollars to make it a Timmy, you can make it just as effecient/reliable/fast as an Angel
When it comes down to it, if you have a gun that can shoot straight with 15bps at 300psi and never give you any problems, then thats all you'll ever need.
