I love the way egos point. I started with a poppit from Bob long and switched to spools. I decided to go back to the poppit. I like how thin the body is. I sold the geo4 for the lv1.6 the. I enjoy adjusting which can't be done on most spools now days. I'm happy with how smooth the 1.6 turned out.
Once again, something I have little to no interest in. (I have plenty of planet in my life) but I watch the video because you’re a stud at these reviews man. Great job!
I agree with alot of what you said, I owned a JT Impulse for a couple years , but it had an issue and a Empire tech told me , they had very little parts leftover for repairs, so I sold it. I miss owning a poppet and wanted to own LV but used prices where still to high to buy a used lv1.5, and decided to buy a lv1.6 new instead, since that included warranty and new serviceable solenoid. Will I shoot this all the time over my cs2 pro , probably not , but I like having variety in my bag.
Great review, thanks for taking the time to do so. Very informative and unbiased. I found you through watching PBRML live videos and sub'd after. Keep up the great work!
Hey man, I'm sure you'll never see this comment but i just sold my amp and have been debating on this gun ever sense i shot it a while ago. This is the detailed informative review I needed to make up my mind! Gonna go for it and buy one. Great Review!!!
Best review on the 1.6, glad for ur negative comments abd positive comments....i bought the 1. 6, at pipe doesnt bother me ...im a really big guy and marker seems almost fragile and small to me. I like the simplicity and ease of maint. And it does shoot fairly smooth.... But to each our own right?...
Akready own 2 proto spool valves Pm8 and reflex rail...older but the pm8 is as smooth i need.. i just bought the lv1.6 havent even shot it yet....had an Etek4 years ago abd loved it so figured i would love this one too....thanks 4 honest vid and not just fan boy love....
19:43 Finally! I too feel that the earlier PE grip frames from the geo 3.1 to the LV1 are too big for my hands. Feels like trying to palm a pack of playing cards. But everyone that I've talked to thinks it's the bees knees. Imma stick with my CS1 with CS2 grips, feels way better for me.
I keep my thumb on the outside and brace my palm against the AT pipe. Gives me the same stability as grabbing the gun all the way up without blocking my vision. I love the ergos and shot so much so that the LV is “the one” for me.
Milling is different from the 1.5 as well which makes the bolt a little different since the cut is vertical vrs angled at the back. I love the lv series. I have owned an Lv and 1.5. Hoping to pick up the 1.6 or the newest 1.6 that just came out the Teahupoo. Great review.
Hey there! Thanks for watching, and for the reply. I was talking about differences that actually matter :) BTW I have a brand new Teahupo'o on its way back from ano right now, and it will be put in a drawing on the Airtime Paintball Mafia Facebook group...join up and check it out! That will be happening in the next couple days.
The paint handling is where the LVs shine in my opinion. Those JT Impulses were nice markers too (especially for the closeout prices. Shame they didn't continue making them.
but a g6r is a temperamental best and requires far and above more acquired knowledge and maintenance than a LV. Plus you gotta have a pressure guage, SLP reg, special lube, and now Field One refuses to even look at them so you're totally on your own unless you gamble with Dirty Works for parts and service. Who knows with the G6R!
I 100% get what you mean about the LV “bulk.” When I compare the feel of the LV1.6 I just got to my J4 Torques the Torque just feels faster, and quicker to get in a comfortable place when swapping hands. Even with the bulky frame of the Torque.
Especially if you reach back to the ever so popular and beloved Ego 11, my favorite Ego design. If the body was reinforced, I would still shoot an Ego 11 to this day.
I love the large frame on my Torque! I met Josh at Fulda Gap and picked up my Torque there from him. The first thing I mentioned was how much I appreciated a large frame. A lot of guns have these giant trigger guards with barely any room to put my hands and they can feel uncomfortable. My MacDev Drone DX and Luxe Ace are prime examples.
To poke at the ergonomics I felt the same way you did for a very long time until I had a epiphany one day the rubber on the FL barrel back is there for a reason on this gun your thumb should rest on top of the barrel af your index finger on the notch under the barrel... I was so unhappy with my LV 1.6 untill I started holding it correctly my game improved 1.6 fold once I held it right (for me) and I'm glad I figured it out because I was on the verge of trading it for a luxe but not anymore
You aren't holding it "correctly." You've adapted the way you hold a marker so that the ergos are mitigated. I'm not interested in being forced to hold the thing in a way that I don't prefer in an effort to make the ergos not bad for me. But, like I said in the vid, this is an objective thing. Many people like the ergos just fine for sure.
You should compare the LV to the bob long VIS . Ide like to know what the difference in smoothness is because I own a VIS but have never shot an LV let lone owned one.
Hello From Connecticut love you videos' love my gtek also love all my Indian creek Marker Promster Freestyle and bushmaster But whats the deal with Dangerous Powers guns are they Really Bad?
DP is gone and done. You cannot get parts for them! This is why so many stores still have tons of brand new Fusion Elites gathering dust. Sure you can buy one and shoot one. But if it breaks down and needs a noid you are SOL.
@@williampaddock4863 they have been considered by many to shoot as good as an ego 11 so yeah. But they had some serious QC issues so you might get a lemon. Their OLED displays are known to fail quickly, and some of them had some out of spec tolerances too. Otherwise they're supposed to be very tunable and smooth shooting. Better than a JT impulse and gas through too. Very compact and light as well. Their G5 SPEC R even got rave reviews from madman even though it's a gas hog and looks like a Covenant weapon lol.
Thank you to Sully from Monsters Inc. for this excellent review

Yet another great review. Love the shirt too.
I was waiting for someone to comment on my shirt lol...thanks for the feedback!
Love your shirt bro.
Keep working. You’re thorough.

Can I ask how you were able to find me in a PBRML live vid? I don't really comment in there, and I'm sure Brad isn't plugging me :) Thanks!

Great breakdown of the LV/Ego history line! I loved my 05 Ego. I also can't stand the AT pipe. Hopefully that's gone on the next LV.
Awesome review cant wait to get my l.6 and i have 2 of those jt impulses with a new barrel and a hush bolt there decently quiet and great shooters

The Impulse is great.

Thank god I'm not the only one that notied the weight. I find it closer to my vanq then my Etek 4.
Hey there, would you do a video on the 170r and XLS?? Thank you!! Excellent video
Worth it over the older ones just for the solenoid that won’t give out randomly.
The paint handling is where the LVs shine in my opinion. Those JT Impulses were nice markers too (especially for the closeout prices. Shame they didn't continue making them.
We need the cs bottom on the lv .
I mean if they don’t like the hose just go back and get a G6R. I know you don’t like those but I love mine.
but a g6r is a temperamental best and requires far and above more acquired knowledge and maintenance than a LV. Plus you gotta have a pressure guage, SLP reg, special lube, and now Field One refuses to even look at them so you're totally on your own unless you gamble with Dirty Works for parts and service.

That shirt is 🔥.
Lovin the shirt bud!!!!
Subbed!!!
I prefer the grips on the LV and Geo 3.1/3.5 guns. Slimmer and the grips are more sticky than what was on my CS2. Love my Lv1 phenomenal markers
Do these still have the ability to shoot 30+ bps like the 08 egos?
“Tell me what you think in the comments section” -I think that shirt is way better than that marker 🙌🏾🤲🏾

So Wierd! I JUST now bought a Midnight LV 1.6. Came here to check out your review and I have the exact same tendonitis brace on my right arm!
WHAT? I caught it from the LV??? :)
Great Review! Can't wait for mine!
#ihatecovid
Still have and use my Ego 11 as my main. Just hate the look of the LV line.
You should compare the LV to the bob long VIS . Ide like to know what the difference in smoothness is because I own a VIS but have never shot an LV let lone owned one.
Up date the lv2 is out

So i can buy an lv1.6 grip frame and and solenoid and put it on my lv1 (original lv1)
Nope...the body is slightly different due to accommodating the new noid.
@@airtimepaintball463 understood thank you
I love LVs. But I refuse to pay ~$1400 for the LV1.6.
I bought a barely used one on FB last week for $900. Deals are out there!
sweet a I pipe high tech
Ive always just had an easier time hitting shots with egos for some reason lol
“People love egos” .... is he attacking my manhood?
Not as far as you know! :)
@@airtimepaintball463 😂 great vid
G6R>LV
If '>' means 'smaller' then I agree. Apart from that, G6R's are really good...if you're comparing them to a Spyder.
@@Dave-wy5nq My G6r has been wonderful.
