Angel was such 'specific' marker and had its own issues especially in the maintenance area; I don't know why Tippmann would want it....  Maybe for some of the design rights but that's all.  Shame about Angel though.

Perhaps Tippman is looking to get into producing some "high end" products?

At least the Angel techs can define "electro-pneumatic" for them. They still seem to think the phenom is one, and well, it isn't......

I can't help but think that if there was any true marketable intellectual rights left in angel that Kee would already of bought them. They haven't really done much since the OLED board....

Angel wouldn't be the way to go for "High End" in the woodsball arena.  Their markers were very delicate and dropping them or banging them into a tree, rock, trail, etc would require an Angel tech to fix them.

Tippmann has been trying to figure out how to get into the "tournament" side of paintball for some time. With them acquiring NXE last year and now Angel Sports they now have an avenue. Now lets see what they do with it...

Strange

I've seen Tippmann prototypes of a speedball marker based on the Phenom.  I wonder if they gave up on that.
