Sick of drop nazis

[Evil1]

I like the way an angel(speed,ir3, or a4) feels with an angel air system on it. It is prefect to me the way it feels. I am just not a big angel fan.

I use to have a big drop, some of my friends would say ah loose that big drop and get a smaller. i never would listen to them cause i loved being compact in a bunker. but ever since my cocker has been down and using my friends mag with the rail on it, i have loved rails. so now i have a cp rail. I like having a very compact gun but i am, like cryer said, faster on the trigger and more accurate(well at least when im standing) with a rail.

See whay I mean? When your wrist is straight instead of tweaked it makes it much easier for your finger to relax and walk without the strain. And if you can't feel the strain then you are just used to it.

I was in my room, messing around with my setup... Just happen to have a 2 inch shocktech mini drop...

I put that on my gun... backwards... and I think I like it even more

[-=Squid=-]

GET THIS!

The people who say "lose the drops" like "jerk offs" are answering the person who posts there guns question... What should I do to it? Thats what THEY would do to it.

Personally, I CANT STAND drops. I dont see how anybody can. They do nothing but make your wrist look silly and impossible to shoulder your marker

With that being said, use what you like, but my 7 foot long vikings gonna snipe you

What is so hysterical about this picture is the drop forward has a drop!

OK, not to thread jack, but what's a good mini (and I mean really mini) drop? Shocktech? I'm not paying Dye's prices, and I've had two different people tell me the ACI on/offs are threaded poorly and wear. I'm looking for something minor just to get the airline elbow down about 1" off the the bottom of an Intelliframe. With my current duckbill, the outside of my right hand rubs against the elbow on the duckbill. I may end up buying a Palmer wedge ...

Try the CP micro drop.

If you have a duckbill, I would recommend a Unimount or a CP mini rail with some dovetail on/off...

Both of those will drop the tank red about 1 inch straight down.
Both are about 40-50 dollar setups.

If you want it a little farther forward, you could get a shocktech micro drop and asa.

Can't stand drops? KAPP sold a kajillion Drop Zones, DZII's, DZ-3s and Minis. Somebody must like 'em.

I still see dozens for sale in the magazines and online. Somebody must be buyin' 'em.

I've personally built at least a hundred, ranging from as little as about an inch and a half up to eight or nine inches or more. I still make up one, in various lengths, every couple of weeks or so. Somebody wants 'em badly enough to custom order them.

I have three lengths specifically designed for Angel AIR, and while I can't say I've sold a bunch, I have sold more than a few. Somebody's using them.

Again, don't like 'em? Then don't use 'em. It's no different than the old "Mag vs. Cocker" argument; one or the other is not the "only right choice", it's purely and wholly a matter of personal opinion.

Some people DO like it long- I made a "drop backward" for a guy about six years ago, about when the screw-in HPA systems were just coming out, and combined it made the thing absurdly long.

Personally, I hated it, but the customer loved it, using it for over a year that I know of, and might still be using it.

Some people like stock-class pumps, "can't possibly see why you need a thousand balls and six batteries to play a game".

Some people like fast electros, "can't possibly see how you can play without 18BPS to keep their heads down".

Some people like Spyders, "can't possibly see how somebody can spend a thousand dollars on a paintball gun".

Some people like gadgets, "can't possibly see how you can play without HALO, SENSEI, AIR, ACE, COPS, TAPS, SFT and LCD".

Visors vs. no visors. HALO vs. Egg. 1pc barrel vs. 2pc barrel. Inserts vs. backs. Magnetic trigger return vs. spring trigger return. Eclipse body milling vs. Freeflow body milling.

Neither side is "right", just use what feels best to you. Screw what the other guy thinks- he probably likes Coke anyway, even though Mountain Dew is clearly the better drink.

What about the drop left? :)

Hey, it's proven fact that Dew is the drink of the gods.

Well, personally, I use a short drop to negate the length of the regulator on my nitro setup, having learned on CO2 tanks myself. I like it for the forward, more than the drop, though it does place the tank more at ease of balance between my grip and foregrip. I'm not a huge proponent of 'tall' guns, because they deviate a bit much from the more effective (IMO) setup where the trigger hand acts like a fulcrum to the weight of the gun and become more like simply carrying weight around. Drops have worked the best for me as an adjustment to the balance of the tank vs. the marker, not a substitute.

I think much of the anti-drop sentiment comes from cheaper marker manufacturers marketing drops as 'professional' features of their more expensive models. Can't say I dissagree. It DOES cheapen the image of drops. Then again, image isn't everything.

I think it all depends on the tank and gun. I personally love 45cis with rails like jake and coke. The 68 needs a little moving foward with maybe a medium and then a 88 needs a shocktech long type drop for me to be comfy and not have my wrist bent.

I honestly don't understand why people ever started argueing about this. its so friggin' obvious that this is going to boil down to a personal preferance issue that is simply amazes me that people decided they would try to convince others to go one way or another.

alot of this depends on hieght and just general size, what position you play, wether or not you have ape arms(i do!), and just what you're comfortable with.

some people prefer 16 inch barrels, others prefer 6 inch barrels(i have one!) and others use most any size barrel(i do!).

personally i dont use either a drop or a rail or a uni-mount. i use a Phantom with 12 grams....i find that i can tuck, not add hieght to the setup, keep my wrist comfy, be very accurate, and avoid people telling me to lose the drop without spending unnecessary cash to add that unnecesarry tank to my unnecessary semi .

just do what feels right, screw the newbs, screw ESCPECIALLY the TWiBs(can't stand em!), screw the pros(are you a pro...i didn't think so).

just lay off each other...what does it matter to you what some dude uses on his setup? he likes it that way so why should you care. besides if your setup is so much better it should just give you an easier time eliminating him with your amazing ability to tuck and shoot faster.

I beg to differ!!!
