=> Impulse Electric Marker <=

[MoserMan]

Does anyone who has used or seen this marker in action have any input on it?

How does it perform? Is it good stock?

Does it perform well with Co2? Do you need any extras to use Co2?

If not will an anti-siphon help?

How would you rate it 1-10

[Flamebo]

I suppose this is the right forum, but that was a lot of unncessary ====>'s...

Cost factored in, I'd give it an 8. Too lazy to break it down, it works great stock on CO2.

[MoserMan]

Thank You. Does it matter if i have anti siphon or normal Co2?

Up top^^^^

[wireman]

I have seen one of these in action at a local field. The guy brought it out bone stock with an anti-syphon tank. It shot excellent on CO2. Great ROF, but it was awkwardly tall in the body. Check PBReview.com. I do know that Smart Parts recommends an anti-syphon though.:)

[wicked_mag]

its gotta b siphon

[FeelTheRT]

well... they recommend having an antisiphon tube for the obvous reasons... CO2 CAN freeze o-rings and if they break, u get leaks. So to be safe, thy recommend an antisiphon tube.

[Arman/XPM]

Moserman,
Whatever you do, donot put a regular CO2 on their!

The Impulse is a very impressive marker, it can even be compared to a Shocker. Invest in a Anti - Siphon CO2 with On/Off, trust me, you will regret it if you donot.

[MoserMan]

thank you for all the help. plz keep replying

[MoserMan]

another question if i just get the anti siphon tube is that good enuf?

Agreed!

[MoserMan]

wpuld it be fine with just anti-siphon?

[[NA]WARLORD]

anti-syphon would be the best for runnin c02, however mine has hpa, i recommend adding a worm trigger to it to take out the side to side play, the vision anti-chop eye for obvious reason, the upgraded solenoid, the delrin bolt which is easier on the paint,the new valve which is more gas eficient, the reg mounted in vertical position which reduces overal height of the marker and a freak barrel system. if all these mods are done the gun will perform a lot better than stock, for lesser $$$$ than angel, shocker and E-mag. I would like to try e-mag xtreem though, but there outta my budget at this time and i'm happy with my Imp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[i-luv-my-rt]

Go to pbnation.com under smart parts go to impulse and read up about it there.

I love impulse but to tall for me. Alot of my friends own them and they run great.

Anti-siphon is not needed but will help the max-flo run smoother and cleaner. They run at between 150 and 200 psi, very low pressure.

Great guns for the money!!!

[Cha0tic]

ok, it is a triple stacked tube design, which i find very awkward. the stock trigger is very sloppy, and i recommend a worm mod trigger. an ACE is good, but not necessary. the impulse and shocker run fabulous on co2. you must have an on/off and an anti-siphon though. if you choose to run HPA, get an 88/4500 tank. the shocker and impulse love to eat gas. i would also recommend getting the max-flo reg in a vertical setup, so you can use it as a foregrip. the impulse is very quiet and fast. i give it 8.5/10 stars :)

[Thordic]

Just curious.. why do you NEED an anti-siphon with on/off? Do you mean you really SHOULD have one, or you NEED one or you will blow your solenoid into 3 billion tiny pieces?

[i-luv-my-rt]

You SHOULD have an anti-siphon you dont NEED one. I should know i have run many off of normal co2 tanks. And Impulse do not suck air as long as you have them set-up right. This is based on your dwell and your input pressure. My friend will get an easy 1700 shots off of a 68 smart parts co2 tank(28ounce i think). That is good efficiency.

Again it's a great gun!!!

[Thordic]

Thanks a lot, I was curious about that.

[mac2k4]

there strait up good guns, but from my experience, the way i play, i break the lil' thing constantly, the frame, feed tube threads... i'm constantly sending it to smartparts to have threads re-tapped... lol but when she shoots its real nice. i sugest

-stock impulse
-any barrlel kit...
-gadget grip/ vert. reg.
(delrin bolt doesn't do anything, it miught barley lower kick)
stock is also more efficent(o-rings)
and well i still shoot stock trigger on mine, but i would suggest the werm trigger.

but right now she's at smartparts again lol. but they are great markers.

that'd only cost ya about 375 or somin...

[MoserMan]

where can u get a impulse for 375 and where can u get worm trigger?

[mac2k4]

oh well maybe not $375 ($25 difference) but for 399 from smartparts
http://www.actionvillage.com/010-8040.html

and from werm mods

http://wermmods.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=browse&id=12027&pageid=70
for the werm mods trigger

[MoserMan]

Would i need a electric hopper for my impulse?

[i-luv-my-rt]

You will definitly need a 12volt revolution for the impy. They have a great ROF. Go to e-paintballoutlet.com for all your impulse buying. The guy there is really cool and they have the best prices around.

[MoserMan]

how bout a 9vt rev?

[MoserMan]

also what drop forward/cradle should i get for my impulse. im gonna use Co2

[i-luv-my-rt]

Your kinda pushing it with a 9v. You might end up having some breaks with it. So my advice is to buy a 12v but you should be able to get by with a 9v.

[i-luv-my-rt]

Well the only drop forward i own or have ever used is the Drop Zone II. This is an excellant drop but kinda expensive. If you look around you'll find one that fits your play and style.

[MoserMan]

I'm looking at PMI drop forward $22 firstcallpaintball.com
or CP Cradle/dropward Flame $34 paintballgear.com.

[i-luv-my-rt]

Both good drops!!!

[MoserMan]

i think ill get the pmi cuz normally it cost in the 30's and 40's and i found it for $22. it also drops down 4 inches and 7 inches forward

[MoserMan]

where could i get a foregrip and was is a a impulse gadet handle do? is that a foregrip? Could u buy a impulse including the fore grip?

[[NA]WARLORD]

go to www.smartparts.com, there you can see the impulse and all its mods/extras. you can get it with a vert reg, gadget grip and a drop forward already installed. i even recommend ordering there catalog, its free. this will help you in all your questions and is a good resource as well. good luck !

[MoserMan]

thanks for all the help!

[MoserMan]

another ? would i need a onn/off switch co2?

[MoserMan]

is the pmi drop forward usable by a impulse?
