Drop Fowards

[Ross57969]

What drop would you suggest i put on my rat impulse. I have a large shocktech, but it is BLUE and my gun is SILVER. Do you think i need on/off? I like my tank to sit pretty far up

[evan123]

Get a chrome shocktech then. I personally like short or no drops. On/offs are good because you can turn your air off to yoru gun and still have the tank screwed in. Its all about your opinion.

Black CP rail. Drops are so out.

If you want something larger, then the shockteck would be a good choice. As far as color goes, that's just up to how picky your are about such things.

Time to make another enemy.

Spongebob, you only dislike drops because the pros dont use them anymore. Kind of like everyone getting stupid headbands because it is cool, bending their mask bottoms up, not using knee/shin pads anymore, or even not wearing hats any longer. I have seen alot of people playing lately without drop, and I think it's gay. I also saw taht someon wrote how drops dont help you play tighter. What bs. Of course they do, by moving the tank further forward, you can make yourself a smaller target from the side, and it's easier to snap shoot.

I have a Dead-On drop, which is HUGE. it's great, it must put that tank like 5 inches or so forward and about 3 down. I love it.

Well put WarpedRT i also have the Dead on Bullet which length spans 7 inches horizontal and 3 down. Makes the gun very centered right where my handle is, more weight is actually in the foregrip than the handle so my shooting hand is not holding as much

[evan123]

I completely, agree. Its all about how you like the tank postioned. I personally like my gun to have a little drop because i actually put the tank between my forearm and upper arm causing me to get really close to the gun as well. I also put the tank up against my uper chest causing the gun to be longer for x-ball and being able to push the bunkers easier. Just depends how you like your drop so go with a silver shocktech long with on.off.

^^^^^ i looked for a silver st with on/off....couldnt find one anyone know where to find? Dead on Bullet was the other drop i was looking at one of my buddies has it and loves it. I was wondering why a silver Dead on bullet is 10 dollars more than the other colors though, anyone know what that is about?

Ok, if you DO like drops, I WOULD highly recommend the Dead On Bullet. I used to have it with my mag, and its just...perfect with any tank. BUT I really disagree with the no drop statement. Im sure some people have gotten rid of a drop because the pros do it, but the "pros do it" cuz it works. Snap shooting is easier, and if you build your marker approriately it balances much better, and makes the hopper lower. You use it right, your a smaller target than even with a drop. As for being smaller with a drop..yes, your compact, and most people do control where their hopper is, but with a drop, snapping is unbalanced and uses a rotating motion, and your hopper generally floats there. JUST my opinion, I used to use an RT-Pro with a Dead On until I had to use an Imp with no dropforward at a tourny, the RT went into runaway. After that I was hooked, I would give it a try. As for all the other stuff...headbands, I use a tennis one, keeps the sweat outta my foam, after having a Raven Mask I understood how detrimental sweat can be. Rolling your mask up for some people helps with talking, when I was at our last tournament I had to roll it up some games because I would die coughing yelling otherwise, most "trends" really do help performance. All the other stuff is plain stupid, and you are 100% correct. Whew.

[~WarpedRT#2~]

Oh, did I say 5? sorry, it IS 7 inches!! drop, that is...the drop.

Yeah, I'm talking about the headbands that have these long tails on them. I hate them. I know someone who buys this stuff just because the pros do. It's sickening. And I will never play again without wearing knee/shin pads. I blew a hole in my Draxxus pants the first day I used them due to rocks, so I will be protecting them from now on.

Also, whats up with forarm pads. I thought that that kind of padding was illegal? That also seems to be a new trend. But I see that it does have a use. Next, not wearing gloves will be cool. Angel gloves, here I come.

Yeah, having your face hit the back of your gun and having your hopper 10ft. above your head is definitely cool. Oh yeah, did I mention having to bend your wrist in odd positions to shoot the gun? Drops are so stupid its unbelievable. Maybe people setup there guns like the pros because duh, they know what they are doing. Do you think the pros are using rails for no reason? No, they are using them for a reason. Drops are completely out of date I don't are what you say. If you know how to use a rail or duckbill your gun will improve. Remember, having your hopper 10ft. above your head is not cool anymore.

Please, if you are still using drops its like you are still running windows 95 on your computer......

[p8ntball1016]

I don't use a drop anymore cause mine snapped in half. I'll post a pic tomorrow.

[50 cal]

I use a short drop. I like it.
Not using a drop improves your game? I've heard some crazy stuff before, but that takes the cake. I'm sorry.

[Tony D.]

Drops are retarded and have absolutely no point to it. If you can't play as tight with a rail as you can with a drop your doing something wrong. I, like others, still don't see why you want your loader up that high just so you can have the tank pushed further out, and down. Makes no sence.
