i have a lot to say about them, to sum it all up in one word...

tall

Most other medium to high end markers cannot make that claim. There are a gazillion upgrades available for them. If you shot mine you would say, "To die for". Don't listen to the broken record comments made by some on these boards about Impulses. They make the exact same whimsical asinine comments in about every thread posted about the Pulse - A gazillion upgrdes eh? What does that say about the marker as a whole? And as mentoined before, you could indeed die for an impy, if only by jumping off the top, or having it drop on you. And why wouldnt other makrers be able to run off co2? My viking can, as can most other high end markers. Its just recomended that you use nitrogen to keep up with the rate of fire most markers can make.

Agreed, Also Impys ARE not the only Markers that can use co2 and HPA. Alias Timmys can also use Co2 but it is not reccommended. In the BL owners manual it says you can use HPA OR CO2 but you must use a remote or some type of expansion extension. So yes you Dragon are wrong. Also I have owned the the Impy and I can tell you it is a heavy POS. The fact is you can buy a much more reliable and alot lighter gun and not have to deal with all the problems that Impys have. Everything is wrong with Impys. Thier heavy, unreliable, extreamly uneffcient in gas, need tons of upgrades to make it anywhere near good, the eye system is poop, the gun is to tall, and the aluminum is made of swiss cheese. To the person who started this thread don't make the same mistake I did, Buy a good high-end gun.

ok scarface22 really why would so many people have impy an recomend them if they suck so bad? , you need to work out if you think they are heavy, yes they are heavy compaired that the 1000 + guns, and swiss chess, hmmmm never heard of that complaint about these marker, only about the shocker. Also the eye system is poo, i dont under stand that can you please explain how the "eye system" is poop

So many people reccomend them huh...well in this thread alone more people have reccomended not to get the Impy and have told you straight out that they are a POS. Also most of the people who said this are former owners of Impy's including me. I think they would know better then anyone how much of a true POS impys are. Why do people buy them, one word HYPE. Lets repeat this again since it seems you have trouble listening to people...its calles HYPE!!!! Smart Farts leads people to believe that Impys are SOOOO great yet the truth is they are one of the worst and cheaply made guns on the market. I don't know how you could have never heard of the Impy being made of Swiss Cheese aluminum. The Alumuinum is about the cheapest quality anything can be made of. The threads strip like crazy and one little wrong move and opps there goes the threading now i have to dump tons of money to get it helicoiled or send it to SP and wait 10 months to get my Impy back. The Solnoid is "jerryriged". That along with the lack of an LPR will eventually lead to a total solnoid blow out. Notice though that all the high-end guns come with good solnoids, good boards, and an LPR. The Impy Trigger is poop and it is either to long or to stiff also SP is so cheap they can't even make the trigger adjustable you have to dump $40 down the toilet to get an adjustable trigger. The max flo is poop and can't recharge fast enough, this leads to constant FSDO which has never been solved by the "brianiacs" at Smart Parts. None of the internals are delrin and the aluminum guts lead to bad gas effciency and severe wearing of the breech. The eye system of SP is a freaking joke and its not secret that it only works half the time its on. The Eyes are made to detect the dropping motion of the paintball which is one of the problems. All the other GOOD eye systems are made to detect the ball in the breech not while its dropping into the breech. Also SP trashy eyes are reflective not break beams. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that dark colors absorb light. Well it seems that the people at SP were to dumb to fiugure this out. They used a reflective eye that doesn't work when dark paint is being used. The laser shoots out and instead of bouncing back and telling the gun that there is a paintball in the breech the laser just gets absorbed into the paintball. I would never buy another POS like an Impy and I would never recommend anyone wasting any amount of money on a POS like a Smart Farts Impy.

Well i personally dont like impulses, one kid that i play with has one and it is nice its shoots pretty fast. Ive shot it a few times, personally i didnt like it at all. He got it from our "pro shop" (they're a joke) and spent an arm and a leg to get it along with some upgrades, and if you ask me, he overpayed for what he got. I mean its fast but not that fast, and like i said it feels weird when you shoot it. So if it were me who was getting a new gun i would either go with a bladed cocker, or a ICD gun of some sort.

The Impy comes stock with a aluminum bolt unless you find a site that is giving some special deal and is selling an Impy with a delrin bolt. Why do people hate them so much here, as I said before almost all the people who are telling you the Impy is a bad gun are people who have had first hand experiences of just how bad the Impy is. The only person in here who is really pro-Impy is Dragon.

hahahah your a joke kid, the people promoting them are the guy that own them,

Watch where you cut that bolt off at. You prolly noticed it but there is a set screw inside that holds the spring and detent in and if you cut it forward of that it'll ruin the bolt. Gonna make a stubby eh?

Thanks for the tip.  I've already hacked an ND bolt and they're pretty much the same at the back.  I had time to cut the SP bolt last night and cut it tighter than my ND.

Off for the eye test.  Be back with vids later.

So are you saying that not having an eye at all is better than a reflective eye or just trying to find a little nitch to poke at SP about? How is a breakbeam eye system more reliable?. Do the reflective eyes tend to break down more often or something? The only advantage of a breakbeam eye over reflective is that it has a greater threshold to black paint than a reflective eye. That has nothing to do with reliability but more to do with having a better response to black paint. I suppose if that is the case it can be simply resolved by not using black paint lol -

As far as buying and selling markers goes, in case you didn't notice, a lot of people buy markers and sell them because they get old, don't like them or in general want to move on to something else. So 'NEWS FLASH', you selling your Imp is not an isolated case as you so illusively portray it lol. Everybody wants a Freak kit, if you haven't sold it chances are you're asking too much for it. Put it up in the BST forums at PBN and see how long it lasts there lol -
