Hi all,

I still have a duckbill and want a drop / on off setup. After playing with it this weekend, I'm not liking the firing postion. Can you tell me your favorite setup and why you like it?

THANKS!

It depends on your playing style and ... What you are playing? Speedball or woodsball/rec ball. Your marker setup and tank size. Your body size, especially height and arm length. It's really personal preference. I suggest getting a drop, trying it at the field and see what you think.

I've got an Endo cradle on the way, looks a bit odd, but makes for a tight setup

I picked up a Planet Eclipse POPS (http://www.compulsivepaintball.com/19056~Eclipse-2011-POPS-On-Off-with-Rail-Black) on/off system after seeing and using one at Tunaball.

LOVE IT.

I like the NDZ Drop Kick as well. I have one on my mag with a Y Frame and it is a pretty tight, compact set up. Other than that I use a CP razor or micro razor depending on the size of the tank for my other mags.

It's actually really quiet. And it's also incredibly soft. There's almost no force required to turn it on/off.

That is a really awesome on/off.

Unfortunately, isn't that rail non-standard? So you have to use the drop it comes with...

I've been a fan of CCM's on/off, sometimes its not quite grippy enough especially with sweaty fingers. I would really like to try a BL Geardrive one day, but those things are hella expensive. I'm mostly a fan of micro drops, nothing fancy really.

I did some research on this and you're right, it's a non standard rail. Also, there really isn't a way to drill a second port for a pneu.

I'm now looking for a dangerous power RAPS II which already has the second port drilled for you, and uses a simple lever to gas / degas the gun:

It's not that big of a drop, 1/4 to 1/2 an inch at most.

What if someone wants a larger drop, or one of those angled drops?

I used to use drop forwards on almost all of my markers. Classic case of t-rex arms syndrome. :p
Swapped my 68ci tank out for a 50 and ended up removing and selling ALL of my drop forwards.
I have used the NDZ dropkick though. On a 45* frame, I found that it put my wrist in an uncomfortable position whenever I actually gripped the frame. I think it would work better on a 90* or Y/Z-frame but it's all a matter of personal preference.

As for asa's, mostly CP and NDZ although I've been warming up to Bob Long's Gear Drive asa. Very easy to use, built in macro fitting, nice milling. A bit expensive :(

Then you're out of luck. This is the only adapter for their T-Rail ASA's.

Research is important in this sport, lest you be led astray.

I like that on/off too; having a standard rail is important for flexibility. I might get one of those for a different gun of mine.

My primary Automag is using a Bob Long Cam drive which I'm pretty happy with. Sounds like it wouldn't work for you if you're wanting a double port for a pneumag though. My gun's particular though and works better with a front port.
