    Posted: 16 June 2006 at 9:27pm

im thinking about getting a new drop forward for my gun that has alittle more look to it

have any suggestions?     i need the forward and the adapter to screw your air source into

i have a 3000psi 72cu tank, how many balls can i get out of that?

i just got mine filled yesterday and im allready out

do i only get 720 shots?   that like a 14-16oz co2 tank - i thought compressed air gets more shots

That is EXACTLY the number of shots one should get out of a tank that size. Contrary to popular believe, HPA tanks get less shot per volume than CO2. One cubic inch of HPA will get less shots than one cubic inch of CO2.

How big of a drop do you want? I have a CIP Super Speedy drop and love it. Comes with an ASA (built in) and a gauge port.

Custom Products, Pricey, but they work great, IMO the on/off ASA is the best.

Purely cosmetic...but those drops went out of style about a year and a half ago.

I like drops on some guns. I have a shocktech drop on my old 98 and it is so much more comfortable then without out the drop. It depends on the gun and which drop you are looking at.

drops were originally meant to balance a gun, so:

the longer guns like spyders and tippys seem more comfy with a drop to balance them. the higher end guns, such as cockers and most electros, are built smaller and a drop is more or less obsolete.
