Yepp, appraently Angel is shutting down. Along with Social Paintball. There are a couple people who will continue to sell parts to fix and maintain the markers but they will no longer be in production of markers or anything. Sucks. . . . .

A Sad Day I have learned that Angel Sports is ceasing operations. I don?t know all the details, not sure it really matters. They will make announcements concerning this shortly. I have been assured by the UK office that parts will be available to service the markers. The details of this arrangement should become clear in the near future, and should be announced by the UK office this week. For the near future, both myself and Bob at Fix My Angel ( www.fixmyangel.com) have parts in stock in the US for your customers. I have some items in stock personally, and will be willing to honor your dealer pricing (or give you an even better deal) where I can on those items. Anyone looking for accessories, or especially clothing, please contact me asap and we?ll see what we can work out. Once these items are gone, I am not sure I can get more. Because I feel an obligation to the players, teams, and dealers I have worked with, I will continue to monitor and use the jay@angelsports.com email. I have been assured that it will work for some time. If that turns out not to be the case, I have set up a personal email account, pballjay@gmail.com that I will begin to monitor if the angelsports.com email fails or ceases to exist. I will continue to maintain and monitor my mobile number, XXXXXXXX so that any of you that wish to reach me will be able to do so. Jay Angel Paintball Sports There you have it. Who knows about the Eyes. I'd love a pair if they ever make their way into circulation. PS, I know their site is still up, but try to order an SB or an ARK and see what happens. It has dead links everywhere right now. Jay is one of their techs, I'm pretty sure this is legit. |

Sad to hear but can't say I'm surprised. They made some nice guns but there resale is horrible. Guess I can pick up a nice fly for cheap now.  |

This was just posted by Social:
Quote:
After seeing the bowing out of another major name in paintball, as well as the massive support of the viewers, and other media in the sport, we've rethought our position and have decided to stay up and on track. Thank you guys for making us reconsider, and for giving us the drive to keep going and not go the way of the Dodo. Special thanks to my close friends, Justin and Mario, for help in planning out a strategy to maximize synergy and streamline the workflow that will push Social Paintball forward as planned.

I read today that Tippmann might be buying or has bought Angel and their technology rights. So shall we still see speedball markers from them or more milsim/scenario guns with Angel technology? Also says that the Eyes may be released next year after some more work to pass testing.
