Y dont pros use drops??

[Supatravis]

I look through my paintball magazines and see pros playing without any kind of drop personally i couldnt stand not having a drop. If the pros do have a drop it isnt a very long one. So all you pros out there y dont you guys believe in drops??

its all personal preference...... everyones different.

With the way most hold their guns, it gives them a tighter setup. I think.

[Wc Keep]

most drops also add height to their gun thats another reason.

[Supatravis]

it wouldnt really give height to your gun if its tight into your arm. If you got shot in your drop you would have been hit in your arm anyways. Plus with a drop you can get the gun closer to your body less sticking out.

Most pros that you see in paintball magazines are the front players. They use 45/45 tanks and they are so small they don't usually need a drop, because they won't have anything to post into their shoulder.

a lot of pro players use their nitrogen tank to slide on, this works best when the tank is mounted directly to the gun. if the tank were on a long drop forward, it would be more prone to flexing and breakage.

also on the "superman dives" often the tank of the marker is the first thing to make contact with the ground. refs and future refs note: watch the front players, paint hits on the chest and thigh area will not be there after a slide like this.

also, with all the paint the pro's fing, you would think that more of em would get out off of the break than actually go off of the field

i think its more comfortable to have the tank right off the grip... it doesnt arch your wrist as much and you dont have the butt of the gun like half an inch away from you mask. its just personal preference. and it really doesnt feel much longer like you would think. i personally am goin to run a 68 quest right of my ir3s grip when i get it this month(hopefully)

[Supatravis]

Now those are some good answers i really had to think.

I couldn't shoot a gun with out a drop. it almost against my religion

[Load SM5]

Iu sed to think the same way. I wanted the tank right under the gun. My first mag had a DZ2 cranked out as far as it would go. But oiver the years I've discovered that micro drops are a little more comfy. The setup is still pretty small but you can butt the tank to your shoulder and not have to goose neck your wrist as much. It makes the setup more comfy and I can actually fire a little faster. I run a KAPP teardrop on my cocker and will have a Shocktech mini on the way for my SFL.

I used to have a huge Psychoballistics Pro-Style drop that was almost 7.5" long. I thought it was cool because my marker was so short, but then it was ungainly and uncomfortable. Smaller drops are really a better investment, they still balance the marker, but are much mroe comfortable.

have you noticed most the people against drops are angel users?

i have a huge 88/4500 tank,and a huge pmi perfect drop,so its all gravy...

if i had a 68tank,i wouldnt run drop

[spyder3634]

i dont see why not. im a pretty small guy and i always use a big drop. it works well. i guess its all preference tho

[Knives]

With my angel i used a nitroduck minireg and it was mounted about an inch forward. personnaly it was 2 far forward, the only way i would use a drop is if i had a screw in tank and even then it would only be a shocktech
