Need opinion on Warp Feed from woodsballer POV

[hitech]

I got my warp FOR woodsball. I played with it in a senario game also. I don't have a problem with my emag and warp for weight. And I'm only 5'8"...

[sicone]

ha man i feel your pain im up on 6'5"

[master_alexander]

id go with a warp, you wouldnt mind the weight i dont think.

it does really well with a small barrel, i like to use a freak with a one inch tip. really tight. but thats for speedball...

so since you are playing woods, it wouldnt matter much to have a small setup. i like the gun with a warp and a site though.,...

some people dont like the way it messes up the balance, but you can fix those problems by the drop forwards you use. it wieghs more, but come on... its not much. personally i love having not hopper popping up, i feel so vulnerable with one. it would help in woodsball most likely, for less visibility, rather than less area to hit when playing speedball.

like others said, you cant really know if you're gonna love it unless you try one, they're around $45 these days, thats affordable IMO

i dont think its been mentioned but setup counts. assuming you have a warp body which sode would it be going on? the side it goes on affects how you play,
example; i shoot lefty so normally i like to play right side of field so my dominant hand is on the grip, and i have the best quick shooting ability with my dominant hand on the grip.

so if youre right handed, the warp would be on the left, and when you pop out of bunkers on the left side, you might have to hold the gun 90*, which is good and bad, good because they have only a barrel sized target to shoot and bad because you have to hold the gun 90* which might be uncomfortable, and heavy, and might need practice doing it
in addtioion i dont think it would be possible to play lefty with a left side warp
/then again, i dont have a warp and have never used one
//this is solley IMO and you dont have to belive/listen to any of it
///i think pics would help make it easier to decide

I have really enjoyed my Warp setups. I have to agree with the above post that carrying that much marker around all say can get tiring. For a big guy like you that shouldn't be a problem....

I have considered making some sort of tactical sling for mine for scenarios.

IF stealth is a concern, the Warp tends to make noise. Mind you, the Ricochet is LOUDER than the warp, but there's a noise factor to think about. That being said, mine is a LOT of fun for woods / scenario play. You can find impossible angles to shoot from, since there's no hopper on the top to worry about.

But, as been said before, it's really a dice shoot thing. Warps WILL affect your shooting stance, and it will cant the gun to the side signifigantly as the center of gravity shifts. But I still like mine. If I want less weight, I can swap out to the center feed body too.

If you can spare it, buy the Warp ULE body, get a free warp with it, and try it out. If nothing else, you learn if you like it or not.

Its all good clean fun untill you hook your warp hose on a branch then it get's really messy.... balls everywhere!!

Man, how'dya do that.

I have about 2" of warp hose on my setup, if I'm hooking that on a tree, I've hooked a whole lot more than just my warp.

Heh, I keep thinking of the Shatnerball I attended. We were trying to advance through semi-long grass towards the objective. With a Warp I was able to crawl my way along my belly but keep firing as my marker was upright in front of me and feeding balls without a hopper (target) ontop.

Warp works just as well in Woods for me as it does in Airball. It's just preferance...

Thanks for all the replys. I didn't even think about it getting caught on stuff. As much as I'm low crawling in heavy brush that could be a problem.



I'm a country boy. I've hunted all my life. Its second nature to me. Most people think when they see me before the game that I'll be one of the first ones out. It's usually the other way around. Not trying to brag in anyway. When you hunt you learn how to use cover and only move when there is enough noise to drown out the sound of your movement. Plus I played football as well so I'm good on my feet. It's also a benefit being 285 for those gut shots. I've got a lot of padding.

Once again, thanks for the info.

im 6'3 and i have a hard time in the woods, dang country boy.

i'm 6' 3", and i have no trouble hiding on a speedball or woodsball field.
i used a warp in the woods, and it was nice to be able to tuck in real tight and just have your barrel poking out from the side of a tree. its really nice when there is a "squad" of people coming toward you, not knowing where you are, and you have your gun pointed right at them ready to fire. i had too many eliminations that way.

if you dont like getting too much attention, then stay away from the warpfeed. i had countless amounts of questions asked every time i played.
same thing with my phantom stupid little kiddies.
