Testing Waters; Inverted Foregrip

The green thing is what you're looking at. Just a concept, but I may make a few if anyone wants one. This doesnt really belong in the dealers forum since I'm just seeing what people think.. I think... heh.

Basically, the lower most part would be threaded for standard gas thrus / regs, and the angle wouldn't be as 'severe' (damn you Visio and your complicated curves... lol) I will make the actual piece exntended out by a few cm, so it can still accomodate a double trigger (will be testing on one). If I were to make one I would include a solid cylinder chunk that threads in, so youve got something at least as a grip.. pricing... eh, probably the 'wholesale' price plus like 15.00 for me.. So anywhere from 45 canadian to 60 canadian for the unit, raw (Aprox 20.00 USD to 45.00 USD).

Anyone interested? I'll be posting a few model designs, you can vote on one you like.

Yea, not the greatest, I'm still fiddling with milkshape. Till I get the models perfected, heres the concepts:

1 2 or 3..

You mean like the 15* ASA on Karivore's?

Just flip a 15* ASA around :D

Same thing

Not without modding the trigger guard, which is illegal on some fields, and 60% and up of the tourneys.

[Automaget]

and we are talking about what here :confused:? as far as i can tell your little device just makes the front grip go out more i think??? can you give what this thing does because im not really quit sure on what this is????

i just realized somthing...

Cooper-T had made angled tank adapters a decade before this whole fad took off...

I am beginning to think that every innovation in paintball secretly came from Chauncey.

looks like a chode.

[OysterBoy]

Ah yes, damn those newer rails...welll. I dunno, I kept hearing a fairly large group of people *****ing because they wanted a forgrip in the style of the karnivore, backwards. Ah, then again, this is AO.

So your kind of going for the tippmann 98 thing???? Where the front grip has bout the same angle as the trigger frame????

Finally, a real post!

yea, more or less. Regardless of whether its in high enough deman, I'm in the process of widdling out a prototype (Maple wood), which I'll use..

[sneakyhacker420]

not really inverted... but rearward angled foregrip, as said earler, like a karnivore or m98

[coolcatpete]

out of the three that you have designed i think that number 1 looks the strongest and most promising.

Hmm I think I like number 3 b/c it looks like it would line up better w/ the tip of the AM or Alpha rails. Also will your design put the angle of the foregrip will be parallel w/ the angle of an I-frame?

[OysterBoy]

Not sure at this point, the wooden prototype will be tested with various drops and rails, as well as the stock trigger frame and an I-Frame.

[Hairball]

Like an ergonomic foregrip, right?

[OysterBoy]

Not sure if it's actually 'ergonomical', but its mostly a matter of preferance. I prefer an inverted foregrip, but I'm odd; I usually shoot by holding the trigger fram with my off hand and use my good hand to fan the trigger; the inverted grip helps because I dont have to be so cramped, but at the same time it feels quite natural.

What are all these lines on the side of the page. It happens when ever oysterboy posts. This happened in other threads as well. Someone fix it, it hurts my eyes :cry:

IM A MONSTER! :cry:

WHY!?!?

I think its my sig.. :( :( :(


HELP!

[Destructo6]

Of those three, I like one labeled, '2' the best.

The Karnivore's -15° ASA didn't look comfortable, but I was surprised how good it felt and how it forced my left elbow against my side.

[coolcatpete]

All better. I can see clearly now :)
