he said hes never seen pros with 16 inch barrels and no dropforwards, i showed him pictures proving they do. sure it makes you tighter but you also sacrifice better aim.

ahhh yes

I'm sorry I guess I fail to understand how you think that you sacrifice aim.

I shot both a Spyder TL plus with no drop forward on it, it was fine but I then shot my husband's RTP with a drop forward and it was so much more comfortable and my aim was perfect. I had no problems hitting what I was aiming at whatsoever.

With the drop forward the weight of the tank was more centered under my firing hand which makes it easier to carry around the field since the weight is more evenly balanced. When standing with the marker not pressed into my shoulder the marker without the drop forward tended to want to point upwards because the weight was so far back. But, it was not really a problem when the marker was shouldered for firing.

Each person can choose what they want, and what's comfortable for them, but when making an argument people should do so with points that actually make sense. And I just can't see how having a drop forward sacrifices aim at all.

Congrats on the mag, bro. Use it well. If you want to be a girl like the rest of us, I recommend a drop/asa combo by Custom Products. They are sturdy, look VERY nice, and strike a good balance between a compact setup and being able to fire the marker accurately with a 68ci preset on it.

in my experience i can aim better and more accurate with no dropfoward

I played with my Mag without a drop forward a few weeks ago, i just took it off to see how it would feel.... it would have been better without an angled down ASA, but it was fine after a game of getting used to it

a lot (most) of the "Pros" don't use drop forwards.....

pretty much 90% of them with Angel Air systems dont...
and the point of the long barrel is for inflateables, you can use the long barrel to kinda of push into the side of the bunker, and you'll be really tight because the barrel will be right on the bunker and you can just barely angle your hopper inwards and you are really tight...
on a field with solid bunkers a short barrel might be a little better... i use a 14" barrel and a 68 tank on the shorter version of the shockteck drop........ my gun is about 25 inches long....

Ok Squid. You obvioulsy didnt just read the post by enderwiggin or you wouldnt talk. Next time you try and call someone an idiot make sure you know what your talking about, how long have you been playing paintball? cuz im sure your 12 inch barrel is helping you wrap around those sup air bunkers so much easier than a 16....go back to the woods and pretend your in vietnam.....

I use my DF for balance, but I might be trying something else when I get my ASA... And back to the topic, CP makes some really cool DF's
