Sick of drop nazis

[trains are bad]

Honestly, tho, I'm faster on the trigger and more accurate with a rail...

Exactly my point. I'm faster and more accurate with my drop foreward. So let's all stop trying to get people to change to a worse setup for them.

There is only one drop for me, the CP micro drop. I love it, and as soon as I get a ULE RT Mag, I'll get another one.

If you're a fan of the small drop, I'd highly reccommend it.

You guys know there is no room for independent thought in paintball. Do what the mob tells you to do, and like it.

Well, I gave a lot of good reasons for running a rail. I'm thinking most people who don't run a rail just haven't given it a fair chance. My game has improved in all aspects, especially snap shooting, once I lost the drop. The guns is much easier to shoulder, and since my wrist is no longer bent, it's much more nimble and easier to snap with.

But what I hear most of you saying is that you believe we do it just because the pros do it. Well, do you think at some point the pros took into consideration which would be better?

i hate drop nazis too. they are just a bunch of guys and gals that get people to hate drops so they can go to the forums and get good prices and these new drops that everyone wants to get rid of. there i said it.

hahah

lets start and xmag hate club and get everyone that has one to believbe they hate them as well. they sell them for cheap and we get xmags .. makes perfect sense.

I say that because I dont think most of the people out there with these drop forwards have ever used a rail... While I'm not saying everyone will like it, I gaurantee a great many of them will lose their drops altogether for rails

For me, it all depends on what tank i'm using.

for the tanks I own:

45/4500 = no drop
70/4500 (peanut) = no drop
68/4500 = no drop or micro drop
88/4500 = med drop

May personal fav combo is 45/4500 or 70/4500 (peanut) + Uni-mount.

I agree with No sKillz:

Are you serious Doc? I run a rail for the exact same reason you don't. A drop puts the fat part of the tank right under the trigger frame, and that's where your wrist would be, so by not running a rail you have to angle your wrist to wrap around the tank making it harder to walk a trigger, unless you stick your elbow out to straighten your wrist. The rail gets the tank out of the way and keeps the wrist straight. And even though this might not matter to some, having your wrist flush against the gun makes for a slightly smaller target than arching around the tank.

I prefer medium drops. I tried running a unimount on my Bushmaster and the thing felt longer than a REAL bushmaster. :)

Of course, I probably shoot very differently than most people. I'm a lefty, but I hold the gun by my left hand (usually around the bottom of the grip frame) and walk the trigger with my right hand. Odd, I know, but that's how I do it.

Like I said, it all depends on how you shoot, and what feels comfortable to you.

I like having the gun up close (I have beavertail scratches on my goggs ) and the gun "high" so I can sight right down the side if the barrel while the tank is in the hollow of my shoulder.

Yes, I've tried rails, and I used them long before, when we called them "bottomlines" or "ducktails" and they held long 7 and 9-oz CO2 tanks.

No offense to the "rail" guys but the idea it makes the gun shorter overall is kind of silly. Assuming you hold the barrel at the same height (roughly eye level, give or take) all it does is raise the tank up a few inches- except your shoulder, chest and forearm are still there.

It's like the guys complaining about the Warp Feed, saying it makes your gun too wide. But if you're holding the gun normally, the "width" is inside the width of your chest and shoulders- the overall target width you offer an opponent is completely unchanged (except for the loss in height, which is a definite benefit since it comes down off the top, lowering the top of the gun to below that of the top of your head.)

Again, it's all preference. I've made drops for customers, that were longer than the gun, and I've made up guns with just rails. Of course, I've also added back-bottle adapters, gas-thru stocks and "drop-sideways" mounts.

Run what YOU like, not what the noobs and wannabes tell you to like.

Doc.

A lot of people who use drops havent "tried" playing without one either. I LOVED my kapp drop till I used a rail... 2 years ago.

[WARPED1]

I love drops. 14 years in the sport, drop forwards are definatly in the top 10 best pb inventions ever. (mags being in that list too!)

Of course, then you get into things like... your head is generally right in line of where the hopper was...

For my RTP I use a DZ3 because it makes the profile of the marker so small.I can tuck super tight with it.I don't have to walk the trigger so the slightly cramped wrist position is a fair trade.
On my Bushy I use just a bottomline setup.That way I can really rip the trigger w/o cramping my wrist or hand.I just don't like how its so long setup that way.
As many have said , its all according to what you like.
