Drop Foward

[PiranhaPB913]

OK, I got a Piranha EXT Pro G3, and everyones telling me i need a drop foward. First thing, you can see me gun at xpaintball.com and tell me if that is a big enough drop foward or do i need another one, plus what do they do? If i do need one plz get me a link for sum fair price D.F.'s.

What's a "fair" price in your opinion? :) Anyways, if your gun is still completely stock, go get an aftermarket barrel. :D

Drop forward: Another one of those personal preference things:

What It Does: It moves your tank down and forward. The stock drop forward on your marker probably moves it a could of inches forward. Other drops moves the tank as much as seven inches forward. By moving the tank forward, it gives your marker a better balance because the weight of the tank is not completely at the rear of the gun.

Do You Need An Aftermarket Drop Forward: Again, it's a matter of personl preference. If I were you, I'd play a few weeks with the stock set up to see what you like and what you don't like. A drop forward won't particularly improve your marker's performance, it'll just make it easier to tuck in tight behind bunkers and allow you to present a smaller profile when you snap shoot.

If you're looking for performance improving upgrades, consider an aftermarket barrel, a Revolution hopper or a good trigger job before getting a drop forward.

Hope this helps.

Muck pretty much nailed it...

However, I'd like to recommend the PMI Perfect or TKO drop forwards. Very nice.

BTW, thanks for cleaning up the PMI faq muck:)

I didn't clean it up ... I was wondering who closed it .. Man, that's a lot of info, hard to believe that you posted all of that, and your fingers didn't fall off.

Hmm.

When I was finished I left a note asking you to delete all off topic posts and close it. When I saw it was done I assumed you did it.

Maybe theflash or Andrew did it. Unless you guys have a PMI mod who isnt posted:)

Yes, all the info came from my hands:) I didnt type it all last night, the trigger job post is over 6 months old, the upgrade sheet is about 3 months old, the review is new, the instructions on tapping the VA is new, and the drilling the VA is about 2 months old.
