what do YOU think of this idea?

well, heres the deal, i want a small compact gun for playing up front. what do you think of this:

i would buy this pistol:

and put this on, so i could throw on a 200 rnd hopper:

and add this so i could run a 12 or 20 oz Co2 Tank:

is this smart?, or just plain dumb, if just plain dumb, why?, and what would you use for a small, compact front gun?

just go with the pistol itself, youll really show your skill when you can go out there with like 10 shot tubes of paint and eliminate everyone

[acecl22]

actually, you know what, that sounds like alot of fun... i just might buy a pistol sometime soon... i wish i could afford a Sydarm from someone whos lucky enough to have one... a level ten could be installed in one of those right

[dead_head]

but for the mean time, while i cant destroy 5 other people with impys, would that be a cool little portable front man gun?

[acecl22]

if you want a high rate of fire, probably not.. but i dont know, my setup is extremely small, and one day ill get myself a warp feed and a warp body, that will be sweet

You'd be better off converting a PGP to semi w/ cocker pnumatics, throw on a hinge frame and have the body machined to vert feed.

Or just buy one of those turtle 'Cockers.

yeah, those turtle cockers are TINY

if you did your plan all you'd end up with would be an expensive spyder clone with a crappy trigger. It'd be compact and vert feed, but once you toss a regular hopper and co2 tank on there the smallness of the gun is minor.

I'd get a ULE bodied mag with a really short barrel. That would be pretty small.

I've seen pics of minimags with really short barrels on them and they looked really small.

[athomas]

It looks like you are trying to make a pistol into a vertical feed with a back bottle. Why don't you just get a ULE mag with a short barrel. It'll be the same thing in the end except the mag will be more consistent and durable.

[dead_head]

except my budget for this gun is under 200 dollars, way out of the price range of a ULE mag

This would be nice for that kind of thing...not that you could get one for $200.
