these super guns with everyone taking notice. The rate of fire was phenomenal.
The early Angel wasn’t without its problems however. Many of the early models
had a tendency to break paint. This might have been the gun, or the fact that
there was a loader around at this time fast enough to feed it. Of course, there
were other problems such as bad circuit boards, which caused the gun to shut
down in the heat (this happened to me, and I promptly sold my old Angel only to
find out that WDP diagnosed and fixed the problem a month later). Over the past
few years, the Angel has evolved into what is not the LCD. This gun has so many
features it has hard to find a place to start (or stop for that matter). Let’s
start at some of my personal favorite features. The Angel has a unique bolt
design that allows the user to remove the bolt in a second. Pull back the knob
at the end of the gun, and the “rotor breach” (as WDP calls it) slides open
giving you instant access to the bolt, chamber, and hammer area. Very nice if
you need to clean the bolt off in the middle of a game. All of the older Angels
had that feature, but a new change is with the circuit board. There are 26
different rates of fire on the Angel LCD, ranging from semi auto, to full auto,
various burst modes even turbo. The turbo modes have been locked out, but
WDP sells a data link kit, which, allows you to interface the LCD to your home
computer. Previously the turbo mode was “locked” but some people on the
‘net have managed to crack the code. Don't ask, I don't know it. Right in the
middle of the grip is an LCD screen through which you can control everything the
electronics do. The screen also shows the battery life status and whether the
LCD is in safe, or live mode. The LCD also comes in handy for precise tuning of
the dwell time. This controls how long the valve stays open. The LCD comes set
with a dwell of 14. Increase the dwell and the gun becomes a little quieter and
a little easier on paint. Decrease it and you have better gas efficiency.
Another great feature is the game timer. There are two options with the timer.
You can enable the “vibes” on or off through the LCD screen. When “on”,
it will cause the LCD grip to vibrate when time starts to run out (and
consequently sound like a seagull on crack). 
Both timer options show the time-countdown on the LCD display. With the LCD you
should always know how much time you have left. Still, there are more features.
The LCD comes with a double trigger with dual set screws on the inside so you
can adjust how much slack there is before and after the trigger pull is
complete. This allows for the possibility of a VERY short trigger pull. You have
to remove the grip frame to access this, and be careful that you don’t tear
any of the wiring when you do this. More standard features like a ball detent,
inline regulator, hogue grips, and a venturi bolt can be found on the LCD. The
ball chamber area and bolt have been enlarged on the LCD to accommodate
different styles of paint and to decrease ball breakage. Ok, I’m going to have
to stop there with the positive features, as I could probably keep going for a
while… One downside of the LCD is that the on/off switch has been removed. WDP
replaced it with a yellow "key" that needs to be inserted into a slot
on the back of the gun. Not only is this very easy to loose, but it is on it way
back to the on/off style switch.In short, the Angel LCD is a very nice gun. It feels great, balances well, shoots fast, is reliable, rarely breaks paint, with little to no upgrades and shoots pretty accurately at close to medium range. But, it might not be the gun for you. If you want something that shoots darts at long range out of the box, or if you want something that is a little easier on your pocket book you might want to consider another gun. We were happy with the way the Angel LCD performed. It can't be everything to everyone, but no gun is. With great features like a rechargeable battery, easy access bolt, adjustable double trigger and an LCD display the Angel LCD you certainly get a lot of gun for your money's worth. Like we said before, its feel is out of this world. It is only a question of whether or not you think the performance of the Angel LCD is worth the high price tag. The price of this gun starts at $1200.00-$1800.00 without a air system.
