Hey look, someone is actually thinking straight.

"Go back to 99"

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

in responce to those, the AIR valve is still in use, and the automag RT's came out around 95 i think. Cockers can be considered old tecnology, but many tourney players still use them and swear by them. Same with pumps. It's all a matter of what you are comfortable with. I personally use a shocktech stubby drop which is perfect for me, however my friend uses a Kapp DZ3. We have the same markers, and same tanks.

Finally something intelligent! Why would you tell someone what to get based on YOUR perference? You have no idea what another person would consider comfortable or not so don't go around saying moronic statements like drops are for noobs.

...does...not...compute....
...cannot...make...decision...without advice from.....15 year old posers....who...can't....think for themselves!

Oh god! is this AO or PBN? did i click on the wrong bookmark?

Anyway... setup what feels comfy. I use to sport the shocktech medium drop. Now rock no/micro drop cause its a lot easier and faster to shoulder, more stable while runnin' and gunnin, and its easier to snap with. Its comfy too.

Heh, were you even BORN in 1995?

Use what feels comfortable to YOU, don't become a 'it must be cool because 'X' pro said so' lemming.

Sometimes I really wish there was a 'filter posts by people born before x' option in Vbulletin.

Personally I prefer rails or very short drops. I did have one of the CP rails but found that it made my marker back heavy. I now use this (very ghetto) rail from AGD-E:

...but I recently spotted that you can buy the Conquest rail from Macdev separately, which looks like it would do the same job and also look a bit prettier

Yes, these guns and parts are still in use, but they have been IMPROVED! Rails are simply an improvement over long drops. Like RR said, use whats comfortable.

remotes are the best, becasue some Pros on the Ironmen used them in the early mid 90's. Old school rocks new school. Don't worry boys and girls rails won't be the new fasionable thing on your Mac Dev Cyborg next year.

On my old tippmann I had first, at first I used it with no drop at all. Then I got a Psycho BAllistics drop witch was 7 inches forward, 2 inches down. That was cool, until I couldn't hold a pencil to write anymore. I got my first mag, used a Kapp Dropzone for a while. Then ditched it for an angled Shocktech mini drop. On my second mag, I only used the mini CP rail.


Of all those, I like the rail the most. If anything, I'd like it one or 2 inches forward (but not angled down like the shocktech drops. I hate that!)

How long are those CP razor drops? I might want to try one...



BTW. Remotes suck!

[chizle97]

I second the dead on drop. I had a drop simmilar to that when i had my rat and it was awsome. I now use a dead on on my mag and its wonderfull.

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.

Yep Drops are old school now.... get a unimount!

Razors are like 2" forward and 1-2" down. I have one on my mag. It's a small drop.

Know why people still use cockers? Because WGP stayed with the times and kept updating there cockers. AGD didn't start doing good things for mags until 1-2 years ago. Maybe if agd came out with ule bodies, xmags, and lvl 10 3-4 years ago mags would still be alittle more widely used.

A lot of people on this forum have followed agd, even if they don't shoot there guns anymore they are like agd in many ways. AGD didn't start catching up to the times until a few years ago. A lot of the people on this forum still aren't caught up with the times. Its my opinion. Drop forwards are stupid. They don't even make sense. Learn to shoot your gun without one, no one is going to die without a drop.

Why the hell do you think so many mag owners and people on this forum in general want all mech. tournies? You can say anything you want about blah blah we don't want people shooting 18 bps at us, but the truth comes down to it, agd isn't the top dog anymore. The only way for them to become the top dog again is to have a mech only tourney. Mags I think are the best non-electro gun. But the emag is probably one of the worst electro guns on the market.

I of course thought I couldn't live without drops and camo was cool. I wasn't afraid of change and just ran my gun on a duckbill for a few cases. And believe it or not it wasn't hard for me to shoot my gun, I was getting less hopper fits, and I wasn't turning my wrist in circles to fire my gun. I support the better idea, and no drops is a better idea. People just can't realize that.

P.S. Mindflux, razors come in 2 lengths a shorty and a long style

I think you are mistaking the CP Micro drop as a shorty Razor.

Custom Products only shows one size on their page, and a call to them just confirmed only one. So unless I spoke to someone who doesn't know anything about their own product..... well.. you'd be wrong

It comes down to personal preference, again, I sight my marker down the barrel.. so the hopper is no higher or lower with a drop vs a uni / rail.

I guess if you butt the bottle up against your shoulder with a drop, of course it's going to be higher.. but then you'd look like a tool (Like the guy in the pic doing the same thing).

BTW: 2 inch drop does not make the hopper "10 feet above your head", it would raise the hopper two inches higher than you would have with a rail.

Quit being such a drama queen about everyones preference.

[dyeforever]

who cares wat others think.

Your Gun, Your Decision.

if u like how ur gun feels with a drop, use a drop. if u like how it feels without a drop, dont use a drop. simple as that.
