Design Evolution
| Model | Comment |
|---|---|
| Angel v6 | Pre-production prototype |
| Angel | Known today as the "Angel LED" to differentiate it from the subsequent Angel models which use an LCD programming interface |
| Angel LCD | |
| Angel IR3 | |
| Angel Speed 03 "3PEED" | Introduced the low pressure, or "LP" platform. First angel since LED to have a non LCD readout. The 03 model was released with the HP model solenoid but the new battery couldn't provide a reliable power source and was revised for 04 with a different solenoid to correct this problem. |
| Angel Speed 04 "4PEED" | Revised version of the 03 Speed with a new solenoid to correct the "shoot down" issue caused by the previous solenoid. |
| Angel 4 | |
| Angel 4 Fly | first model to have break-beam anti-chop eyes |
| Angel Speed 2005 "5PEED" | first model to use 9v batteries, uses a new LPR/Volumiser system as well as a new bolt, ram and frame design. |
| Angel G7 | New valve style and LPR system introduced. |
| Angel G7 Fly | barrel threading change to smaller threads and shaft. also a new key turn style roto breach instead of the old pull and turn style |
| Angel Speed 2006 "6PEED" | First Angel to have major weight reductions, valve system, shot chamber, and bolt improved on. First Angels to be able to use a no-rise (PL models) or low-rise feednecks. |
| Angel One | barrel threading changes again, G7 Fly/06 Speed threads are still compatible, also first Angel to use a OLED display with a blackberry style control wheel for fast board adjustments. Stock circuit board also has USB port for updates. Current software is 2.7. Major changes to body design and a new frame style. First and only model to be made in China. |
| Angel One Fly | Stock with Sly carbon fiber tip, "Fly Paper" grip inserts, standard threaded Vertical Regulator adapter, Magno valve which uses magnets instead of a spring to close the valve. Comes stock with Booster bolt (cleans eyes while shooting) and the ST:R ram as well as the D-Lite exhaust valve stem. All major upgrades designed for A1 based markers. Naturally much quieter, more efficient and more consistent than the A1, also is compared to high-end spool valves in terms of quietness and smoothness while shooting. |
| Angel AR:K/SB | Tactical Angel marker with APEX compatible barrel tip as well as picatinny rail mounts. The Angel SB is literally identical to the AR:K minus the tactical accessories and rail. Both markers feature a newly designed color OLED board, a fully enclosed firing chamber, new trigger styles and some minor revisions internally over the A1 Fly. super efficient 2000+ rds from a 68/4500 |
| Angel Fly SE | An Angel A1 Fly with SB parts and extended warranty. |

Famous quotes containing the words design and/or evolution:
“A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
“As a natural process, of the same character as the development of a tree from its seed, or of a fowl from its egg, evolution excludes creation and all other kinds of supernatural intervention.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
