Its not PERIOD! For just about the same price you get a much better gun with the ICD B2k. |

B2k4 or B2k5 come with a 4 way adjustable trigger, lpr, good board, good eyes, look nice and arent so big, also icd is a great company with great quailty unlike smart parts. So how is an impulse any better then a b2k4 or b2k5 |

guess what one of the great quirks about my viking is
I would consider having my eye system working with all colors of paint more reliable than one that doesnt. And I mean working in the sense that it does what it is suposed to do, and actually "sees" the paint.
First, I dont buy into the bore sizing thing, especialy when the bore size only lasts through half the barrel, so I really dont want a freak kit. My hammerhead barrel is all I need. Second, and this is just me, you know, speaking for what I am reciving FalloutMan's statements as, but it seems to me that he sold his SP equipment due to its lack of quality. You are simply ignoring parts of his posts in order to make it seem like he doesnt know how to back his beleifs/statements up. |

I everything you said except for the part about the Freak.
In many ways yes I would rather have no eye system then one that only works 2% of the time and yes refelctive eyes are much more reliable. Thats why you hear of people complaining of SP eye and not Angels and other eye systems that use break beam technology. 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 figure 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.
Actually maybe if you actually got over your bias feelings towards the Impy and took a look around you would see tons of people are selling Impys. Hmm wonder why could it be that MOST people realize just how bad and trashy quality they really are. I also disagree that people just sell guns to get something new. Most people sell thier guns because 1) the gun they thought was perfect for them ends up not being what it cracked up to be (hmm sounds alot like the Impy) so they buy something new until they find the gun thats perfect for them. I know that happened to me and now I found the gun that I think is perfect for me. The other reason is that the person or people are on a sponsered team and get sponsered by a certain gun company, well they might give up on that sponsership and move on to someone else forcing them to get a new gun.
For the 100th time the people not promoting them are the people who have owned them and now how bad they are. Now if it was me and I was making this choice I would listen to the 20 or more people in here saying Impys are a cheap POS then the 2 biased people saying that they are good guns.

Civilian. What's the latest info you have on bore sizing not being important? You're probably refering to accuracy only eh? My own efficiency tests have shown that there is what I consider to be a significant difference in efficiency between a good fit and a poor fit. For speedball tournies it may not be a big deal. If you only have a single bore barrel and you switch paint all of the time just adjust the pressure/dwell and hit the fill it yourself air lines between each game. For big games etc. EVERY ounce counts for me so I don't spend time in air lines. I bring enough air to these types of games to last all weekend and the paint to match my supply of air. 4 cases of paint, 4 20 oz. c02 bottles and a 68/4500 kicker just incase my efficiency might be off.

Imps just are not the best choice in thier price range. Simply suggesting looking at something thats more bang for your buck, better overal. |

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 - |

alot of people own KIA's and geo's too. and my 200 dollar mag was lighter than my $700 impulse. reflective eyes are used in smart parts guns, most other guns use breakbeams which are more reliable. ive owned an impulse ive owned a freak kit ive owned a maxflow tank i sold the impulse i sold the maxflow tank the freak kit sits in my closet because i cant sell it locally because of all the other people that have owned smart parts products make it so noone will buy them anymore. and you would wonder why i dont recommend impulses? |

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. |

ok are you talking about the solenoid cycling or the bolt cycling, cause the solenoid cycling is toal irelivant to the frame, and getting a new frame, if better will help the bolt cycle sooooo little it wouldnt be worth 10$. also the smothness of the inside is determined by lube, not the inside of the gun, all gun are generaly pretty smoth. |

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?

SP offers a delrin bolt. Not sure if they come on stockers but shops may use take-offs on "aftermarket" guns that guys want nd bolts etc. for and put them on stock guns that they sell. here's one i picked up today for tomarrows eye test session. At 1 1/8 ounce it checks in pretty light for a full length bolt. Can't wait to weigh it after I hack the back off. Edited by Lightningbolt |

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. |

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.

Or as I said before 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!!!!Asinie or maybe its just the truth..the truth that you can't handle. |

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.
