    I think it mostly depends on your size and overall marker set up. On my angel I run a 45/45 armageddon with just a rail, and a shocktech micro drop (1 inch forward and like 1/2 inch drop) with a pe 68/3000. My friend runs a classic timmy w/ a 114/4500 no drop. This is the most uncomfortable setup I've ever seen or felt but it fits him fine, he towers over my 5'7" frame at 6'4".

    BTW Running a rail is way more comfortable than a drop. Ov3rmind is right, way less wrist and back fatigue.

        Here:

        IMO!!! For perfect weight distribution, shouldering, and profile.

        14 Inch Barrel,
        CP, Dye, or Shocktech micro drop
        45cu/4500psi Tank

        works wonders.

            I run a rail on my 45 bottle and a tiny (like 1-2 inchs) drop on my 68. It's just what's comfortable for me. I do love the rail though.


            Edit: Although, to be fair I've never actually set up a medium or long drop on any marker I've had. They've always just felt a bit 'off' to me when I've used em on friends markers.

              No drop on a mag makes them feel backheavy, I've tried railmount on my mag as well as with a Shocktech Medium drop, and the slight drop on the mag feels good.

              On my Angel I run a unimount-style rail thing from KO Paintball though, mostly because I got it from our sponsor, but it also makes the gun balance well.

                some people like long drops, i like medium, it feels comfy.

                i used to have a long on a co2 tank, it balanced out the weight. but when i went to nitro, it was way out of balance and kinda far forward

                  I say use a 7.5 inch drop.

                  FYI,
                  Your favorite color is green and you like mushrooms on your pizza.

                  OR,
                  You can try it both ways and see which feels comfortable to YOU. and not be a sheep.

                          Your right we follow like sheep. What does that say under your username? E-blade evangelist. Do I sense a Naughty Dog clone?

                            Wait, so because I use an Angel I'm a Dynasty clone?

                            Maybe he shoots an Eblade cuz they rip, not cuz the Dogs shoot them. Don't be so quick to judge, in alot of cases I agree with Jedi that people are sheep. I mean look at all the short kids with rails who can't hold their guns right, but wanna look like pros.

                              Backplayers need 16" barrels and unimounts. This combinations turns you into a "supa snipa style" playa that can kecklinate anyone off the break. Trust me, it works.

                                Hey smartguy how about you try understanding what I wrote before you post. Of course he didn't buy an eblade cause the Dogs use them, he bought it cause it rips, right? Same goes for people who use a rail. Not everyone uses them cause the pros do. Thanks for helping me prove my point.
