dont flame me on this becuase i searched. 


my question is, is a drop forward worth it?  i know this is almost purely opinion, but is it better to have the dropforward and everything weighted  with your gun, for instance the air system has minimal ends sticking out past the rear of the gun so it is weighted under the gun, with the gun.  also it has a lower horizontal profile.  OR  is it better to have it sticking out the end with no drop forward to act as a stock?

No or very small drop is best in my opinion. That way you can support the gun while running, etc. AND keep yourself from wrist injury!

Forget the drop, Unimounts rule. Your arm doesn't stick out around the tank, and you don't have to crank your wrist. And if you pull your elbow down so it's shaped like a V, and put your tank in that V, your just as small, but your wrist and arm aren't exposed.

you just waste money for no reason. No one uses drops, just put the tank under your elbow and arm. The you can get a tighter position.

Jeep's signature has a gun with a uni mount.
Just to alert everyone, "Gun maintenace and repair" is misspelled.

I personally think drops are a waste. As do most people except some newbish speedball players who think, o i need to buy something that cost 50 bucks to put my tank out of my way when I could just put it under my arm.
I need to find smaller pictures for my profile.

i had a drop on my 98, and i liked it, but then when i got my cocker i got a uni mount and i like it even more. I personally think the unimount distributes the weight of the gun. Cause my 98 was really front have and now my cocker is just perfect.

I have one on my 98c and its a 7"/2.5" and I love it, the 98 is a pretty long gun anyway so it puts my tank (72/3000 pure energy) under my gun and centers the weight perfect. No it does not hurt my wrist. And if you tuck the tank under your arm (with out the drop) then you have to bend your neck down to use your sights.  And as you can see in some of the replies people always refer to the pros, and they just jump on the bandwagon instead of doing something on their own.

I like a good drop that puts the gun in that perfect spot right before you have to bend your wrist, but you can stay pretty tight. That's how my physcho ballistics bullet DF is...but that's on a minimag.
