opinion on impulse

[FiTiRPiLiT]

i'm going to go out on a limb and say that rat impulses with vision are possibly the best guns in existence. they are angel caliber DEFINITELY. i just came back from shooting my rat at my buddy's place. i brought 500 rounds with me and i was done in like 10 minutes . accurate, superfast, and consistent (had angel air and max-flow vert). they are relatively lightweight. best thing is with vision kiss chops goodbye. i am no stranger to fast guns, i owned 2 emags in the past. this puts them to shame in every way. the impy is a bit of a gas hog though, i'll admit that, and it is a little tall for some people, but it fits my shooting style perfect. i was gettign sick trigger bounce with my eclipse blade, his neighbor thought it was a woodpecker.

My buddy shoots one of these, and I can say, it ROCKS. If I were looking for a cheap reliable electronic gun, This is where i'd go.

I don't think I'd get a drop-stock one tho, here's a few recommendations:

1: Eclipse or other blade trigger. Look sweet, feels great. Mostly preferance, so pick what you like

2: Vertical Max-Flow. Gets that huge Co2 Eatin' machine off of the bottomline area. Makes a good grip, and looks sweet.

3: Voodoo full flow vert. adapter. Separates the flow of air that goes from the max flow to the bolt, and to the solenoid. Makes sure that the solenoid doesn't get starved, and ensures high Cycling. I shot my buddie's IMpie with this adapter, and it shoots a lot nicer than most impies. I could actually shoot it faster than another guy's angel at the field.

Most of this stuff is preferance, but Those 3 things can really make a differance.

It's a sweet deal there, and get some "FoM-Love" on the trigger. His trigger work is Excellent.

thanks for all of your input, i've looked at and shot several immpies and i have to say i just like my mag better now i'm not saying the impulse is a bad marker i'm just saying the automags feel is more for me, maybe it's the mechanical trigger because i never really did like electro triggers that much, i mean sure i can fire faster but it feels like i'm not doing any work just clicking a mouse

oh and i thought impies were a little on the tall side, but one thing i did like is they had no kick at all

hey but then agian when i finish building my mag (aka win the lottery ) i think the impulse will be my next project

they are tall, yes they do have kick, my buds eclipse impulse isnt really all that hot. first shot low. way to tall. God amount of kick. I dotn like the feel of the trigger. Not consistant. hes got vision too.

[FiTiRPiLiT]

gun too tall

i don't really understand why the height of the gun matters. when you shoot you sight down the barrel right? well the barrel is at eye level regardless of what gun you are shooting, who cares what's beneath your face? from your eye level on up, all guns are the same unless you have a warp, so the tall gun argument is bogus.

[AcemanPB]

not really... the smaller the gun the closer you can hug the bunker, plus it gives the gun a different feel in my opinon

[Joe 90]

its true, the impulse is a really tall gun! most of the marshalls at my site have mags or impys.(my nickname for impulse's (wow, a plural!)) With a veiwloader on top, they are massive, and standout like a saw thumb. it just makes your target area bigger, and if your popping up or around your bunker, your hopper arrives about half hour before you do, giving anyone enough time to point their marker at you, or duck away. may sound silly, but it's true. out of the 4 that i've seen, only one had a problem, and that was with the max flow. triggers sweet, and it'll hose paint soo fast you'll be a pauper in no time :). not too consistant thouh, by that i mean theres about a 2 foot 'beaten zone', where as most mags have half that. depends on paint/barrel of cause, just saying what i've seen. hope that helps,

that all depends on if you use a high or low rise, i use a low-rise, but i do agree the body is taller which offers a better target, but all guns are the same from the barrel up.

Impulses are nice.....But IMO I'd get a Bushmaster 2000........$450 (same price as a verticle impulse) and come with a Blade trigger, LPR, 2 piece barrel, ano and milling. If your running n2, its a better overall choice.
