| dont believe a lot of people in this forum and thier oppinions on impulses because a lot of pro teams use them (y?) must be because they are good guns but dont forget the proteams have them upgraded and an upgraded impulse is sick in my opinion i like the Evil Omen |

I'd get the bushy over the imp. However, the imp is a good
gun. Just needs to be upgraded a good bit. You can find NIB
03 stock body imp's for about 300 and less if you look. Then start upgrading with NDZ parts and it'll be a kick arse gun. |

Impy's are good guns, yes they take some upgrading but hey, most guns do. I used them before and played against people that had them and they can hold there own. ------------- http://profile.xfire.com/kentuckyfriedgangsta">

Really, is that why SP doesnt include an LPr, but do include a stronger solenoid spring so the solenoid can use higher pressure, and ultimately cause FSDO or other solenoid complications. Or is that why they do include a faulty ram style that further adds to the FSDO? What about the crappy trigger, aluminum bolt and hammer, swiss cheese grade aluminum, crappy reg, faulty eye system, height, the fact that to get vision it cocsts at least $120 extra? The list goes on and on. -------------

Muahahahahaha.....knew it had to happen sooner or later. Same ol mundane script with most all comments being manipulatve incoherent hodgepodge of a sinister plight feeding on the inexperienced who don't know any better. Whatever floats your boat I suppose lol
Truth of the matter is that Imps PWN and it seems that a few around here can't stand the fact that they do lol

I agree wit gatyr. My Impy was ok but it needed close to $1000 in upgrades. Even after those upgrades the POS broke down. Don't wast e your money on a Impy. Save your money and get a real high-end gun. -------------

The reason the Imp comes with a stronger noid spring is because it was designed to be run off of siphoned CO2. It doesn't come with a LPR or any of the other goodies because it's made to be an entry level tourney gun that YOU are supposed to customize to your liking. |

Imps suck. Period. They need so many upgrades to be decent guns, it's
not worth it. My friend has one, it's trash. It's like 9 lbs, ugly,
slow, inefficent, and taller than he is (he's only like 5 ft). I played
with one at TWC, it had several ups, but it still sucked. It didn't
have vision, but I was using my Halo, and as soon as I walked the
trigger it started chopping like no tommrow. It was such junk I chose
to go in without a gun rather than shoot it again. Don't waste your
cash on one, get a real gun.

Go with a B2K4 with PDS, a Shocker, Freestyle, older Angel, 2k2 Timmy,
LCD Trix. All are close to the range of an Imp, a little bit more than
just a stock one. ------------- "Yes there are two path you can go back, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on"

I wouldn't go with a shocker either. The new shockers are just as bad as a Impy. They're fast but they have the same poopy vision and the same bad air effciency as the Impy. As I said before Get something like a Timmy, Bushmaster, Angel, Trix, Cyborg or something like that. Don't make the same mistake I did and waste your money on cheap poop like Impys.
Ah no! for me try more like an Alias Timmy -------------

Untrue. NDZ V3 bolt gives the shocker great low pressure eficiency. You can buy a Mini Worlock board and make the Shocker break beam. You just need to buy a break beam eye cable and drill another hole for the extra eye. Trust me, the shocker is a great gun. |
Posted By: jeep 98 custom
Date Posted: 21 October 2004 at 3:20pm
Shockers aren't bad at all. True they eat air stock, but that's why I put a $90 Freeflow bolt in it, and it get's double the efficency. That's the only upgrade the gun really needs. The stock vision works fine, I never chopped, but if you get the Dynasty board it has new eye logic where the eye has a beam that must be penetrated for it to shoot, rather than the reflective style the stock vision uses. ------------- "Yes there are two path you can go back, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on"

Save your money and get a Mini Worlock board, and break beam harness. |

O yea they're SOO great that you needed to add a $90 bolt and you need to add a new board. -------------

Ok, so Jeep added $90 to his $800 gun to make it 'good.' You payed $1400 for your gun, and you ddin't have to upgrade your bolt. Good for you! edit: scarface22 sounds a lot like impyking |

Even though Im trashing Impys and he loved them, from what I heard. My point is that if it really was a good gun you wouldn't have to add anything. Also as I said already Shockers still use the trashy swiss cheese aluminum that SP is known for and it still uses the trashy SP vision that only works half the time. SP makwes good barrels but thier guns are poop. -------------

What do you mean by swiss cheese aluminum, last I checked, when I dive
with my gun out, it's fine. And my vision has NEVER chopped a ball.
Ever. But I guess that's crappy. And I never said you had to add a new
board, that was just an option. Much like a Timmy, you don't need WAS
or Frenzy or any other board, but people go for them anyways. To make
them better. But whatever, my gun's never chopped, smaller, lighter, just as fast, just as efficent, and costs less. I'm fine with that. ------------- "Yes there are two path you can go back, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on"

Bushy are good mid level guns. You can get one with PDS for a good price, and you'll be happy with it.

Just got back from the World Cup and reffed the Shocktech field and saw none 1 Bushy lol. Saw plenty of those Swiss cheese Imps and Shockers all day lol. Saw plenty of DM4's, E-Cockers and Timmys as well but sry......no Bushy's at all. I wonder why? I specifically looked for them cuz I was thinking of the ICD enthusists on this site pondering that there may have been a possibility of seeing a few but not so the case. ICD didn't even have a vendor tent up yet if they planned to have one anyways, who knows? Sound like slackers if you ask me.  Smart Parts had a gigantic display area. Smart Parts girls will be there signing posters starting Wednesday. People must really eat that Swiss cheese up big time for some reason.
