45 vs Y/Z angle vs Vert frames

[spacemonkey]

soo just wondering i just bought a y-grip. would that be a bad idea? (or this all are preference?) i wanted to get one of those vert frames but i end up getting a Y. also what kind of rail should i get? im currently using a stock mini-.45 grip with razor drop... pls input.

[Cryer]

Nah, its all preference really... as far as drops/rails go... try that one out. If you dont like it, try a CP rail. thats what I use and theyre great. Also, I just ordered a dead on rail



I like it so far

Okay to settle this for good. The only paintballer in the world who should be using a 45 grip on a paintball marker..........
He uses not a drop-foward, cradle, or even a rail. He calls it a "Raise-Rearward".








Notice how the hand is in the correct postition because of how long the gun is. For most of all paintball players, they tuck in tight. I also should mention people who own Tippmanns 45's are ok too.

well for those of us who like to walk our triggers (like me ) at least for my style of shooting, i dont give a f*** what angle the frame is, cuz the only part of my hand that touches the frame is my thumb and my 2 trigger fingers.

bagelboy just drop it . face it, ur no dictator and will never be dictator of anything.

first off, You shouldnt cuss... (JT you either)

but bagel, you've had a negative attitude the whole time... even in Nicads thread. All because of a difference in opionion reguarding the angle of ones trigger frame...

This is the kind of behavior greater men than you have been banned for

It was not a cuss, if you notice I typed a row of stars. That's the truth.


Does not matter if you typed them or they were inserted by the filter. Its still cursing here on AO. Read the rules notice it says avoiding the filter or challenging the filter is cursing - so don't do it - cphilip

Walking is just for show.

You just have to hold the gun differently. All I'm hearing
is that the Y-frame suits your shooting style better.
First off... rifles and carbines which hold the gun out
do *not* use a 45 style gripframe, they use a more
extreme angle, very similar to the original carbon fibre
grip frames on the mag.

Also, with a 45 style frame, [oops, hit enter and it posted]



Or follow this link: http://www.oceantechnologysystems.com/military.html

You can tuck just nicely with it, you just hold your body
at a different angle.

Personal Preference.

whew! good thing you settled that for good!:o



Look, 'holmes', when it comes down to it, its all personal preferance. You cant tell me that I "shouldnt use a 45 grip". Thats not your place.

Truth be told, the way I use a 45 grip, your argument has no bearing. I hold it higher, at the top of the grip. I place my forefinger up along the body of the gun. with my ring and middle finger, I walk the trigger. The only finger thats actually wrapped around the grip is my pinky. And thats just so its not hanging around.

That guy can have his "raise-rearward" if he's more effiecient at it. Personally, I dont see it as practical. You can have your Z-grip (or whatever you want) if your more efficient with that. Thats your thing.

And if you want me to stop using 45 frames, by all means, come try and take mine away from me...

Walking is not for show. Have you played speedball? not like weekend walk-on speedball, but an actual tournament. where your opponents know what they're doing.

I dont hink you have. Either that, or you are simply trying to start an argument

[BagelBoy2004]

I don't have money to waste on a tournament that they don't pay me to play in.. Like I have money to shoot a case of paint every game. Like there's a difference between Walk-On Speedball and Tourney Speedball. The only difference I see is the price. come down to SC Village and tell me the speedball they play there isn't "real speedball".

But all of your arguments were based off the tourney scene!

And... Yes, I'm sponsored, but I don't think that really
has much bearing on the points we're arguing...

[Cryer]

Do you come here just to argue?
And there is a difference between walk-on and tournie. Ask anyone who has played both. But thats OT.

I'll do that :) But it's up to SC Village for me...
I was going to go up there this last weekend, but i ended up
mowing the lawn at home instead Next weekend I'm at
Velocity and then the next week I'm off to do the TAW
scenario at Mr Paintball's... I might be up at SC
the last week of next month... PM me if you want to meet
up for a nice game of speedball.

And FYI, The difference is the stakes and what people will
do to win... When I'm playing recball, I will NOT
bunker someone... I also won't fire as fast because 1) my
fingers get tired enough, 2) it doesn't matter if I miss,
and 3) it doesn't even matter if the guy I missed gets me
out with his next ball.

Also, at a tourney, everyone will be feeling pressure from
their sponsors to win. So even if they're the laid back
type, they'll still go out to win, not just to have fun.

Pwned?????? WTF is that supposed to mean? Learn how to spell.

A few years ago, we all used to type "OWNED!" in Counter-Strike (early verisons), whenever we killed an enemy we didn't like (trash talking).

All of the sudden people started typing "pwned" instead. I thought they were just mis-hitting the keys as they typed fast.

Anyways, I found this explaination and found it interesting...

from:http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...term=pwned&f=1

MEANING:
The past tense of the word "pwn," which means "to kick the [butt] of (an opponent)."

HISTORY:
Contrary to popular belief, "pwned" did not originate in Warcraft. A top Quake player mispelled "owned" and the term quickly spread to less players and eventually to nearly the entire population of online gamers. The word is usually used in online FPS and RTS games.

USAGE:
Pwned is often said to an individual's lesser opponent after the greater person or team has defeated his enemy.

Can also be used when verbal superiority is shown in an arguement, for instance, on a video or computer game message board/forum.

"My archers pwned your wyvern, noob."

"Clan AIC just pwned you mother f'ers."

(After delivering a perfect arguement):
"PWNED [female dog] GGTHNXNORE"

As far as frames go, to me, it all depends on how you mount your tank.

No-drop style mounts like the uni-mount or rail... best = 45

But that's just me :)
