I think it's a good drop. maybe overused around here, but I liked it when I was using.
Your air could be done a little better. Proper length and ran on the ugly side of the marker. -------------

The gun in your sig is a drop. Plus a drop balances out your gun. And theres no tank to bumb your shoulder, its also more compact. -------------

completely(sp) wrong. with a drop you have to crouch up to your gun, therefor making you wider. if your facing your opponent, who cares how long it is, its width that matters. shouldering a gun with a rail or unimount is much more comfortable. and drops make your hopper too high. |

Contrary to what all the noobs around here will say, co2 is actually a better gas for the LPK than HPA. Because it is denser than normal air, it help propel the ball better.
Nice gun BTW. ------------- Watch your thoughts they become words Watch your words they become actions Watch your actions they become habits Watch your habits they become character Watch your character it becomes your destin |

Actually that's not entirely true. Ran through an Exp. Chamber with Anti-syphon would make the air less dense, not accounting for the expansion that takes place in the steel braided line and in the valve. Either way, although it could possibly be denser that's not necessarily a good thing, it it was then it wouldn't be so inconsistant and expansion chambers wouldn't exist. Anyway back onto the gun. Not digging it. The barrel is too long. You could still do stuff to it: I'll give you 7/10, lacks creativity. |

The very reason that drops are sold is for ergonomics and comfort. With the gun positioned closer to your body you can hold it so much more steadier, and be more accurate. Personally, my 98 without a drop is 36" long, uh, that's stupid, a yard long gun... I got a drop for steadyness, length, and it also improves my grip and gives me a better sight picture down the side of a gun. Also I play woodsball, so I am not always facing my opponent, and running through the woods with gun w/drop is a hellofalot less cumbersome. Heh, also, nice A-5. |

Co2 is just as good with the LPK as HPA when you use the Palmer's stabalizer. but a nitro tank would look a little cooler with that gun. -------------

Uhhh...Yeah^^^ It's an A-5, therefore, no Electric hopper is needed. Also, I feel that the Drop Forward doesnt make you wider, I actually think I am slimmer thanks to my drop forward.
I also agree, upgrade to air! There are many tanks that are extremely affordable now! Dump ------------- Smart Parts Impulse Black Tapeworm Empire B Loader(Freakin Sweet) 68/3000 Pure Energy DOP Bullet Drop LAPCO Locking No Rise NXE 3 Pack(Best Pack!) Also an A-5 w/various Upgrades.PM for Details |

uhh, the gun in your sig has a drop I think your "fully upgraded" gun needs a few more upgrades. Not looking to shabby though. |
