    Who Runs without a foregrip?

    Who here runs their mag without a foregrip? I have tried it, but not sure how comfortable I feel with it. Post up some pics too if you would, especially if you are holding it in your shooting position. THANK YOU!!!

    My classic mag doesn't have a foregrip, i've got a 12 inch hose to my valve and it runs right next to where a vert ASA would go, and i will either grab that or the drop forward. I would much rather prefer it to have one though, but my friend stole my vert asa, and by stole i mean i lent it to him.
    Il n'y a point de sots si incommodes que ceux qui ont de l'esprit.

      I want to someday own a backbottle classic. Hold the co2 tank with your right hand, the frame with your left. It looks really oldschool.

        questionful, I use a backbottle classic for woodsball, I am in the process of duracoating it. I will post pics when done

        The Mag I am thinking about not using a foregrip with is my RT ULE warp left. I have thought about a 15* asa to sort of kick the foregrip forward a little more to clear the warp a little better.



        Just trying to decide which will be most comfortable and useable/functional.

          I tried running no foregrip, but couldn't stand it and made my own out of a 12 gram.

          It actually worked really well.

            I play without a foregrip on my classic mag... I play with an AA Apocalypse rail mounted right on the bottom of the frame. I cradle the tank regulator in my left hand, holding all the weight of the gun. I shoot with the right hand, also using my right palm for a little balance.

            My Emag obviously has a foregrip for the battery, but I shoot it the same way as the classic...

            Some pics:











            I can shoot from either side of a bunker simply by switching the shoulder that I rest the tank on. I offer the same profile on either side of the bunker, so no need to switch hands...

              This might not be what you mean, but I figured why use a foregrip when I can just put the bottle there to save space.
              I do hold the bottle like a foregrip, though, so I guess it doesn't count.

                thanks for the pics and opinions, I apreciate it. Still up in the air about it. Maybe next time I play I should run the whole day of play without it to see how i like it.

                  I love mine set up like this.

                  There is no reason for a mag to have one... so why have one?

                          Ha! That's my wife's bouquet from our wedding 3 1/2 years ago... Hang them upside down, and they last forever...

                          Thanks for the compliment, BTW!

                            I hang on to my warp so I don't need a fore grip.
                            Also on some of my old setups using cradles I held on to the asa.

                              I personally think a foregrip helps increase accuracy, especially in quicker situations. If you're running and trying to shoot at someone a foregrip is the way to go, or if you're trying to aim faster, just because the third point of contact is out in front. Look at any rifle (since paintball markers are shot like them and weigh about the same as a carbine, not a pistol once the tank and hopper are on) and you will see they have some kind of foregrip for the same sort of thing.

                              So basically it's fin to have something to mess around with, but i wouldn't do it on your own setup, but everyone also has their own style that you have to factor in.
