    Posted: 18 October 2005 at 5:19pm

I can get an Vision Imp with Freak kit, progressive, and tear drop barrels. With check it uni, and about $200 in ups for about $300.  I want to know why people hate them.  If there too heavy, work out.  I mean why dont people like them anymore. They use to be the gun everyone wanted, but not anymore.

Is this a good deal.  I could probubly talk him down to 275-250.  Or should i pay 300 for a stock b2k4, boomy, uni and a feed neck?

Im focusing on the Imp though

I've just seen too many break down. I'm not going to endorse or recommend a gun that's always on the back of someones truck getting worked on.

I have seen many people with impulses and I know that the entire Shockwave Canada team uses impulses of some type. I would love to have one and am shopping around for one right now. Even a stock Impy for $300 is a good deal. Go with the Impulse.

Most of the problems I have heard about are only minor problems that people have ignored until they become big problems. If you can learn to maintain your gun, there won't be a problem with reliability.

DING! DING DING!!!!

We have a winner!


Impulses are Great, just have to keep on them 24/7 I know that sounds like to much work, but if you just keep your Impulse happy, then your Impulse will make you happy.

a Malfunctioning Impulse comes from a Malfunctioning owner.

For $300 you could probably find a used Gen-E Matrix. It may be pretty much stock, but it'll perform fine until you want to work on it.

On my 98 Custom, I've done so much to it to the point that I can almost walk the trigger. Almost, ... sigh.

I have owned excessive amounts of smart parts products including an impulse, and I personally recommend never purchasing a single product from that company from their quality and design decisions alone, let alone their unethical business practices in the past.

Let bygones be bygones. I think they are a good business. I might not agree with what they've done, but I respect their products. I think their biggest fluke so far has been the Nerve (I haven't seen one on any paintball field or in any store yet.)

Ions are cheaper so people want them instead

While I think the impulse is a terrible product, simply because a lot of people want something because it is cheap and everyone else want it is definantly never a reason that should be considered when making a purchase.
