powerfeed vs vertical feed

[pk3`]

can you guys competely enlighten me with all the pros and cons of each setup?

[pr0kch0p]

vertical feed loads balls faster and allows for faster feeding to the marker because balls are stacked directly one on top of the other so they just drop in and are fired.

powerfeed allows for most of the blowback to be released so the balls can load without being blown back up

if you can, get vertical feed, as it is more beneficial overall

[Jordan]

what gun are u looking for pk3 - vertical feed is better overall

[Landon]

if you drastically have blow back on your vertical feed take your marker and get the feed tube milled or you can just drill holes in it (not my fault if you make your gun ugly) :P

[Codestar20]

I think vertical feed it better. Now that I have a gun with vertical feed I won't ever go to a side feed or power feed gun (example: autocockers (not STO), shocker)

First off Cockers are not powerfeed they are standard...and shockers are great you cant even tell its powerfeed...The new 2k1 cockers have vert. feed..either way you wont notice anyhting with your spyder vert feed it has blow back i think spyders are better with power feed...

yeah, get the vert feed model. you'll thank yourself when you dont have to mess around with elbows and such. i think they are making a hi rise for the pirhanas now too.

[w00twoot]

hey woot. he said side feed. which is standard

[w00twoot]

didnt catch that yeah i now i thought it said power feed

[Oo CaSpEr oO]

Just wanted to say, I tried both, vertical, and I think it's called a power feed( or standard or side who cares ). But I like the vertical. Just preference.

[Oo CaSpEr oO]

Oh yeah, the vertical feed, I have a revy, so it's kinda lose when you plug in the feeder. I put some tape on it, and it works fine. I think Dye makes a Neck Spacer that solves this problem. So this is a relatively small problem, which can be resolved with some tape, or for you rich folk, a neck spacer.

[pr0kch0p]

whos the rich folk? your the one with the black magic cocker!

[w00twoot]

i like vertical too it looks better and preforms better

[Oo CaSpEr oO]

Well, those are the little things. =) J/k!

[lilJAMEZ2k]

now i got something to add to this what do you like better hi rise vert feed or just a low one and whats the pros and cons of each of those?

[pk3`]

Im waiting for piranhapro and hsuve for feedback :D

[elTwitcho]

The cocker comes in either power, right or vertical, not just right feed. And vert feed still isnt standard for cockers, it's like an extra 150 more for vertical feed

[AllOleander]

A highrise adds 2-3 more balls stacked up in the feed tube, which will increase ROF cause more balls will be available. Although, with todays hoppers and technology (intellifeeds, sandridge revys, etc.) the high rise isn't necessary cause the hoppers feed fast enough that they dont need the extra 2-3 ball headstart. THe lowrise also lowers your profile. duh

so if your hopper feeds fast enough (if you cant outshoot it) get a lowrise cause smaller you are, less youll get hit

You mean side feed?

...Only if you have a warp...

[SandStorm]

I shoot right and left handed in games so vertical feeds are my favorite...BTW, anybody know where I can get vertical feed bodies for a minimag.. or if I can?

[warchild1s1k]

is vert feed worth the 150 more

[felixthecat]

well if you have a really happy trigger finger.....no...but you can get the same out of a powerfeed....but it all depends I mean if you get it on a cocker it would help out a lot.... but its not really a necessity....I like vert....I get a nice rof with it and I never shoot air cause of my 12 volt revvy....
