Imp vs Bushmaster

[Snake847]

Forgot McDev(sonic) and eclipse Bushmasters.

[mykroft]

Shot a Macdev, vapor and an Eclipse Bushy. Nice guns, bout equivalent to a basic Rat or Freak Factory. High end of the mid range you might say (No PDS on any of those when I tried them, although it's available for at least the Vapor now and maybe the MacDev Sonic too).

Still not on the level of a Drenny or a Strange though. Best way to put it is the hig end of Bushy's top out roughly where the mid range of Impy's does. Both are great guns, but the Bushy doesn't play in the same space as Angels, E-Mags and Matrix's, unlike the top custom Impy's.

uh yeah, once u upgrade a basic rat (put on a iframe or vert frame and get vision) it'll beat any high end bushy

[speedyejl]

Just wondering can any of you explain how an upgraded Impulse will beat an upgraded Bushy? Both upgraded with anyparts on the market of course.

Also just for everyones information, all Impulses besides AIs have no inherit advantadge over an other type of Impulse. Yes, and upgraded stock can be as good as a Strange, wow. Also with the AI, it has better flow because of larger air passages. This gives it a slight increase in eff, only advantadge.

Only difference i could see(straight out the box stock) is that a bushy comes with a LPR and bad wiring. I also think that impulses have better triggers. I don't think he's worried about high end guns cause as he said, he's on a limited budget. Why clutter up the thread with baseless arguments that he doesn't want to know anyways? If you're going to upgrade, impulse. If you just want to do a little and keep most of it as is, bushy. I personally find that my bushy is better than my imp. I haven't broken a ball in it yet where as my impulse has never had a day without breaking.

Didn't read my post ehh?

Bushy out of the Box over stock Impulse:
Vert Reg
LPR
4-Way Trigger
Delrin Bolt
2 Piece Barrel

OUT OF THE BOX....I would recomend an imp.
Imps have incredible INCREDIBLE air efficiency, and are only 400 bucks, now compare that to the bushy. Bushy=550. With 100 bucks you could upgrade the imp to bushy "calibur" I simply dont like the bushy, why do you RARELY see them in tourneys? And they cost more, anda re hideous. And BTW, impulse stock trigger is long and sloppy, but do you have ANY idea how fast anybody can rip on that sucker? ITS INSANE how fast imps are!

Bushy: 550
Imp:400

Upgrade to Vert reg:$50
Adjustable trigger: $21
Progressive = better than crap stock bushy
Delrin bolt (good brand) = $36.

Do the math...cost wise, almost moot, imp is beter man.

[Snake847]

How bout the PDS??????

[mykroft]

That $550 Bushy also has PDS.

non-PDS Bushy's be cheaper. And the efficiency is pretty darn good (Ex-Defiant owner here). I still prefer the high-end Impy, but mid-low end Bushy's beat the equivalent Impy IMHO (Stock, out-of-box that is).

HAHA ... holy poo that is priceless. I hope you realize that statement was just completely incorrect. I've never seena tourny player use any type of bushmaster. EVER. PLENTY of teams use Impulses and a lot of pro teams even use the Impulses. Not to mention and Adrenalin Impulse will blow any Bushmaster out of the water no matter what you put on it.

Sorry but those are the facts, sure Bushmasters are great guns I'm not bashing them or anything.

[Snake847]

You need to get your facts straight.... Seeing as Aftershock is switching to shocktech Bushmasters. Ya ok no proteams use bushys. My ***!

[a_malfunction]

Hasn't AO as a whole decided that just because the Pros dont use a gun, that doesnt make the gun a bad gun? How many pro teams shoot emags? Just think about that.

[Snake847]

Aggree with Malfunction. ICD can't afford to sponsor A pro team that is why no pro teams use them. On the other hand Shocktech can and their players choose to use Bushmasters over other guns that Shocktech customizes.

[TheBigRaguPB4L]

Right, kids need to stop saying that. Pro's use imp's more so they're better. Give me a break. I'll take a stock emag over any impulse. Which one would be cheaper? Emag. Which one is better? Emag. Oh wait, not many pro teams use them, must not be good. Think for yourself.

Stock impulse out of the box is increadibly fast at chopping. Searisouly, without at least a delrin bolt, an impulse will do nothing but chop. Don't get me wrong, Impulses are great guns, but you have to spend money to set them up that way. Otherwise, you get a blender. Out of the box, bushys have no problem at 11-13 bps. Of the 2 imps i owned, I couldn't get any type of ROF without doing some upgrading.
