how are impys

[EsPo]

Im about to get some money, and i was thinkin about getting an impy, and i gotta few questions. i was gonna get a non vision impy cause im poor, i just wanted to know if it was a vvery big mistake to not get vision. are they low matenince or high matenince? what are good upgrades, and what do they do? Where can i get a non vision for cheap(under 400 sumwhere) any answers are appreciated thanks. btw, how are bko's? i have never shot one, and never owned a gun by indian creek so i am reluctant to by one.

Impys are good guns. There are sorta mixed reviews about the reliabilty tho.

I'm pretty sure the vision is an upgrade you could purchase later.

Your mag doesn't have lvl 10 tho, and you live with it right?


The new run of BKOs i hear are great. I would go for it if i were you. Then you could save your money for other things.

try actionvillage.com... they usually have good prices. If not just have 888paintball take that 10% or whatever they do now off.

i hear that the eye really only is needed once you hit like 13 bps or suttin.. i cant shoot that fast anyway, ill be the first on AO to admit it, i think i shoot slow.
the only thing i dont like about the BKO is that it already comes customized. i like to make my gun the way i like it(that made sense... think about it). also, does any1 know if you can double rock the trigger on either of those, i always wanted a gun where u could do that after i shot my friends angel

[EsPo]

another question, what kind of threads are the bko's, cocker or are they seperate?

What is Double Rocking?
Impies are good guns.
Vision is not necessary at all from my experience

[sk8dood]

BKO threads, i think are ICD, but for a little bit of money you can get them cocker threaded. i belive it is under $80 for cocker threads, and you have to order the BKO through ICD.

double rocking is using one finger (index on my part) to shoot once, then when the trigger rebounds, you hit it with the other finger(middle for me). in some cases, you can do it really fast(angel) in other cases, you can do it vvvvvvery slow(tippmann spyder ect). im suprised that im the only person who knows wat double rocking is, ill c if i could paint up a diagram. edit> my paint diagram was to big.

From my expereince i think Impys are great guns. A vision is a nice thing to have but it is not neccasary. These guns are really good, they love co2 and are fairly consistent with the max-flo reg.

I don't think reliability is an issue at all with the newer impys. 2 of my friends bought vision imps a while ago (when they moved the on/off button to the back) and they have had ZERO problems with their guns, another guy at my field shoots a nasty and that thing is sweet and he hasn't had any major problems. And another guy bought an adreniline impy but I haven't tried that out yet.

Another great thing about impulses is they are great out of the box, the only thing i would complain about is the trigger is a little sloppy. but for 60 bucks you can throw on a delrin bolt and blade trigger (tape werm too if you want to spend that) and you will have a sweet gun!

** oh yeah and don't forget to lube your impulses in the approprite places too, i've seen guys who haven't and they are regretting it. It's a simple process once you get it down i've learned to do my friends just my screwing around with it.

Double rocking the trigger? I have always known it as "walking the trigger"

[TRIAD]

I've heard of it as "walking". Maybe he's just weird.

[DoctorStox]

well, i was just the owner of a cusotm 1 of 1 imp, and i can tell you this. blazing fast. kinda heavy compared to say cockers or bushy's, but so are mags, and mags rule. u can definetly walk the trigger, depending on how you get your springs set. the only problem i have heard of is the solenoids goin and first shot drop off. the first upgrade i would get for a stock imp is a solenoid optomizer. here is a pic of mine, even though she is gone now, just so you can see what is possable, but dont plan on that trigger frame, only one like it ever made by smart parts.

[EsPo]

excuse my wierdness, i think im goin with the BKO.. due to funds.

[cris8762]

well, if you want to get a really nice imp for VERY cheap get a stock imp with the following upgrades:

1. Adjustable blade trigger (25 dollars)

2. Solenoid optimizer (tapeworm is cheapest for 20 bucks, LPR is most expensive [price depends on reg used])

3. Vertical regulator (reduces overallheight of gun and is more comfy IMO)

with those two upgrades you will have a extremely fast shooting well working gun, and if you had a little extra cash to spend after that you couuld get a delrin bolt, and or a titanium pullpin plus brass hammer to reduce kick (it's not that bad with the imp in the 1st place but could use some improvement)

[DoctorStox]

i would go with the imp simply because of the upgradeability. however, i would take a bko with nitro over an impulse with co2, for the regulators sake.

[EsPo]

cris, how much u lookin for, i got a mag if u wanna trade.. not vision rite? doctor sox, i got a nitro tank, i wanna impy really bad, but i dont have the sufficient funds.
