I like the drop forwards out there now but when playing speedball it screws up my form. I have an idea that would drop the gun's profile down. This rail would be different but for you to get the idea, Just think of a large drop forward that is turned backwards & upside down. you would HAVE to run with a very small tank though... unless your like 9 foot tall with 3 foot arms. the tank can rest on your pit like normal but the gun & hopper would be at a lower profile.

It would also have to stick out at least 10"-12" for the tank to clear the back of the gun. Unless your thinking 3.5 oz. tanks...

what??  no no no the tank would still be facing the regular way. the tank would NOT be turned backwards like what I think your thinking.

the valve end of the tank would be about 2" back & 1" up from the bottom of the back grip.

How would you fit your hand around that to grab the grip. It would also make switching sides incredibly difficult.

^^^ why is it that when I come up with some idea, YOU finally show up on the forums again & ruin them all?? LOL!

not if you design it right.
How much of the grip do you really use anyways? for me, its only the top portion of the back of the grip where my thumb rests. I dont even put too much pressure on the grip at all.
