    Well, it depends for me. I like fairly long drops but I might have a shorter drop to see what it feels like mounted on backwards.

      Yeah, it all depends. It also depends on what tank you are using, etc...

      I personally like the psychoballistics d/f.

        really, i have thought, if i had a long enough DF, the tank wouldnt be there... the psycho ballistics is the longest df i have ever found... I want a two foot drop forward!

            it really depends what gun it is, if it's a Cocker, i'd rather have a short drop like this... (even though i've got a drop zone set at 7" on my Cocker...)





            and if it's an electro, i'd like a long drop like 6-8" because there's no back block trying to pop my eyes out.

                Like them long...

                I like them long. On this RT Pro, the balance point for the gun is right under the trigger. It is perfectly balanced and easy to hold in one hand. I am still trying to figure out my emag. Because the battery has to come off, you can't have a long drop forward.

                On my minimag and right now on the emag, I am using a remote setup. I like that and not having the weight on the gun is great. I do hate the big n2 tank bobbling around on my back when I run though...

                    I don't like drops that bring the tank low. Think about it....the lower you bring the tank, the higher the overall height is of the marker when shouldered. I personally like a straight rail on the bottom of the grip frame that provides enough room for my wrist to come straight down from the gripframe, without hitting gauges and hoses(basically prevents your elbow from sticking out). When shouldered, my hopper is about 2-3" under the top off my head. I have found even the stock AGD flatline drop is nice comfy setup too.

                            I either see pros with drops or just stubby tanks...

                              ya they uses drops. y what do you use? you just screw your nitro on your gun? usein nitro on a regular bottemline is so uncomferterble (well it is for me at least)and makes the gun wicked long
