  Ive got all this stuff on my 98 custom and its all getting too heavy for my arms (note: im not matured yet. im only 13.), so i think a drop forward will solve my weight balance problem. What drop forward is the easiest to install and the most effective and good looking?

my proshop has a bullet drop forward with on/off and i may get that for around 38-40 dollars. is that a good deal and a good drop? links of good drops would help alot.

yes, a drop forward would definately help. i had a similar setup, and even for me, the weight got in the way. a 240rd hopper and steel HPA tank is jusr dead weight. i have a stock, and a drop seemed to take a few lbs off the gun and turn it into more balance. with a drop you dont reach as far out, and your arms will be able to handle the weight better because they are less extended. the bullet drop is a great choice. i have one on my Automag. its a far drop, and the on/off is a great feature.

all drops re realatively easy to install. its just a matter of two screws, and perhaps a wrench for the SS line. keep in mind you will also need a 90* fitting with most drop/ASA's unless you already have one.

a drop forward wont solve your weight problem. And your gun doesn't weigh enough to have weight problems, unless ur a speedballer.

sry i tried to find u a link on a drop forward that i though looked very cool on the 98 but i couln't find it.

When you're carrying your gun around (between games), use a sling. Put's the weight on your shoulders rather than on your arms. Since arms are naturally weaker than shoulders/backs, you shouldn't have much a problem anymore.

if you get that one, all youll need is a 90* fitting, and you can use your stock line. you can use macro, but its really a pain, and more expensive than a $4 fitting.

Maybe you should just play stock paintball... If you can't a semi is too much for you. After all stocks only hold 10 paintballs at a time, and a 12 gram co2

just to make sure you know, a drop forward will not make it weigh any less, it will just even out the weight throughout the gun. but they look really cool, they are all the same except for the ones with on/off. other than that they are all based on looks.

Stock
1. Standard setup marker with no added gizmos
2. A shoulder buttstock that may have mountings for an air tank
3. Old-school style of playing paintball with 10-round tube magazines on top of the marker
4. Availability of product(s)

A-5 Command and Bolt3:

Just for the heck of it, I played with my stock Phantom on a field full of semis one time, bad idea...

I can get 3 rounds per second out of that puppy, that auto trigger is the toast of the field!

I'd say go for a remote line. That way, the tanks weight is on your back instead of your arms.
