Angel is coming back with...a mech Angel?

[Meleager7]

Is it April 1st already?

Stanchy has meched angels before so I assume its not that hard to do.

If they offer a "Pre-buy" I'm out. This smells bad and it's only a one sentence rumor...

They have an insanely steep up hill battle contending with planet eclipses mechanical lineup right now

-Thing is, bringing ANY marker to market right now, is a pretty serious uphill battle. Trying to jumpstart a new marker manufacturer in this economy? With what looks like continued Covid restrictions at least through the next year? This isn't even the time to be dropping rumors.

I mean, from a purely economic and health-of-a-fledgling-business standpoint. As far as the marker itself, I'd love to see what's on the bake.

I hope whatever they put out doesn't end up being a sort of bob long level gun. Good for the fans that want to love it but not really worth the trouble.

Mechanical pneumatic air switch activating a ram that slams into a poppit valve. No sear, like the old angels.

I really want it to be good. I want an angel.

I didn’t realize WDP had any legs to stand on. Or is this a passion project with some others in the industry? I’m off FB, so I can’t see any of the comments or anything.

-This. I know the old WDP guys didn't just vanish, and I honestly have no idea what happened to the IP, but I do know that they also had kind of a bad rep there towards the end.

Can't wait to see what they come up with. "OG" made me think the LED, but I can't think of a worse design to try and go mechanical.

Ideally, take something like the A1 design toward the end, keep the "three tube" format with the ram in one side and the LPR in the other, but with the trigger switch moved to the grip, that leaves a void at the back of the gun. Chop that off, and have an Ego/Etek/Intimidator style bolt. That gets rid of one of the biggest weak points in almost all the original Angel designs.

Yeah it's really shrouded in a lot of mystery right now. Almost seems like a joke honestly, but if Will Rocs says it's true...

Exactly what I was thinking.

[iamthelazerviking]

Someone made a comment saying "Wouldn't a mechanical Angel just be a Spyder?" LOL, true. But Will says they have revamped the core.

[OdinBuilt]

Now this is interesting.....

I saw Will Arroyo post this on Facebook...he also said he can't say much right now, but he will be providing more soon and that he has been working with them for some months now.
