The Angel is a very nice gun, to say the least. It comes in two versions. One is a semi-automatic version and the second is a fully automatic version. They are interchangeable and it can easily be done by changing a little circuit board in the grip. The WDP Angel comes with both boards. When mine first came in, I began messing around with it and decided to switch boards. It was easy, I simply unscrewed the grip screws, unscrewed the screw that held the board in place, unplugged the board, and put in the new one. Before I closed the grip back up I tried shooting the Angel in automatic mode. It was very fast. I noticed two screws on the board and began adjusting them. The top screw adjusts the rate of fire, while the lower one adjust the dwell (air efficiency). It turns out the more clockwise you turn the upper screw the faster the gun cycles.

The first thing I noticed about the Angel is it's solid feel. It feels very solid. Nothing rattles or shakes and it does not feel mechanical. In comparison to the new Shocker S/F, the Shocker feels more mechanical. It is a slight difference and shouldn't change your mind. But for an extra 400 dollars it should feel more solid. The Angel comes with a long Jacko barrel that is smooth bored. I like smooth barrels. As long as the balls don't spin, I am happy. The gun has to be run on compressed air, and the regulator that comes with it is very precise. The regulator has an on/off switch and so does the battery pack. This helps save power, so the gun isn't on all the time. It comes with a nice battery charger that plugs into the back of the gun. The one I have uses a cigarette lighter in cars to charge. The battery is housed somewhere inside the body, not the grip. There are very few moving parts, and hence this gun seems to be very reliable. Only time will tell.

In terms of upgradeability, there isn't much to do to the gun. The barrel can be changed if you like a spin or shorter barrel. I guess the body can be anodized, but I don't see a reason to do it. I noticed that the body is very scratchable. Out of the box, it already had scratches on it. But overall it looks fine.

I have not put any paint through the gun, except to set the velocity, so I will keep you all up to date about the way the gun shoots.
