yes and meh you can have a smaller and tighter gun but ya your arm is going to be all messed up but since if you look at my gun and i play front i don't have to shoot fast so it really doesn't matter. its all about what feels right to you this whole sport is about personal prefrance. if some one says to me mags suck thats there oppion and if they don't like how they feel and shoot thats personal prefrance

Been meaning to post this for a while. I've been using drop forwards for a very long time. They're comfortable for me. Haven't tried a rail yet - but just looking at them, they don't move the tank forward enough for me. I like my 'gun right up tight and close to my face. The tank still fits just fine at about my armpit, where I like it. In fact, I built a homemade drop forward, and it wasn't "forward" enough, so I made an adapter to push it forward even more...



So what if it isn't "cool looking"? It works for me. Made from Lowe's aluminum bar stock. Looking "cool" doesn't get you eliminations. Being able (and comfortable) to put the ball where you're aiming does.

(also note the ghetto trigger guard I home-built! Works great too. Made from airconditioning sheet aluminum.)

Because the pros all use rails or unimounts now. It's the cool thing to do. (Just like using drops was the cool thing to do before.)

Rails will, however, move the tank out of the way a bit so that your hand isn't at a weird angle. I'm going to try a rail system and see if I like it.

im sorry but i don't think people are using rails just because the pros are!!!!!!!!! its probably the same reason pros use them, because they are comfortable and other shizit. everyone that starts out almost all love big drops and then move to rails. its just something everyone does, like puberty!

i use a rail because it keeps me more compact, and my hand fits my marker better too. i know alot of people may think that fronts are the only one's to use them, but my teammate uses a rail too. i believe that a mag on a rail tank, with a no rise is like the smallest profiled marker height wise.

I understand the argument about this and loved the drop on my cocker, but what about the y-grip. Anybody have a y-grip and use a rail?

Shartley, he didnt mean "everyone" everyone...

People say "everyone..." nowdays in a slang context. Alot of times, they just mean "alot of people...".

I've caught myself using it like that a couple of times.:o

Another thing I found when going from a drop to no drop was I could swing the marker around muchhhhhhh quicker. I guess it evens out the center of gravity closer to the frame. It's nice.

I prefer a drop on my markers. I have no problems with wrist fatigue or any of the other things people complain about, and rails just DON'T do it for me. The thing that pisses me off is when people piss and moan about "lose the drop" or "the drop makes it suck". It ain't your marker, so back off. Some of us play better with a drop as opposed to a rail.
