this is a drop kick from new designz paintball. it brings the tanks at a 45 degree angle. curious if some one has used one, and how did you like it

i have used a similar product by FBM, it kicked my 68 tank too far up so that the gun was sitting too low, it however kicked my friend;s 48 up perfectly.

I personally have used the stilleto for the longest time and that was the perfect angle for my 68.

edit i have someone's gun with me that has that on it, just held it up with a tank, same as the fbm 'power angle' as mentioned before

ive seen them on a marker, and it looks as if the bottom of the bottle would sit on to of your shoulder. i would think that would be somewhat comftable? can you post a pic of the marker?

yeah the lower tip of the bottle sits pretty well on your shoulder. also depending what size tank you have. Not really a speed ball thing, I found it somewhat awkward at times

Made one of those myself, worked perfect on a mag, but not so well for the setup on anything else.

Edit: if you want my CAD file on this, pm me. MIne was a 11 degrees.

I have drop kicks on 3 of my guns. I love the way my guns sit on my shoulders. It is a very tight set-up, and is not uncomfortable whatsoever. Personally, I think it is the best speedball set-up. All the weight of the gun rests on your shoulder. You don't have to move your arms at all to aim and shoot, and the set up is very compact, so it is easy to run with.

On this R/T, I also have the New Designz Quik-flip on/off asa. They are not expensive (just under $30), and they work very well.

...and if you stick the tank in your shoulder like a normal paintgun, you turn your stock Inteliframe into a 90* grip frame(tho accuracy will be somewhat diminished).

I used to use a stiletto. Very comfortable to hold the tank like that but the gun's vertical height increases substantially due to the drop. If you are a crawler it can be an issue, and it also has the same problem as all drops in terms of angling your hopper behind bunkers.

I personally have gone to a more traditional setup, figuring that if you set it up small and tight it'll work through more situations and overall take up less volume.
