Hey, I am looking into purchasing an impulse soon. I've read about of couple people who regret not purchasing the vision impulse and instead getting the standard and now they want the vision. I play rec-ball, and its indoors. I dont really need to shoot long bursts, just like 3-6 round bursts. My spyder doesnt chop at all with this method, so i am pretty happy with it.
Will the stock feed tube have enough balls stacked for me to pull that off?
Should i just go for the vision?
Thanks.

Chopping? what's that?:confused:
Seriously, I have shot 4-5 cases through my Impulse and I've chopped once. I shoot fast a lot too.:drop: Even if you do chop, you can take out the bolt (even while the gun is gassed up) and run a squeegee through the whole top part of the gun and the barrel.

I think the vert feed on mine stacks over 5 balls. The impulse was MADE to shoot fast. You can pop out 3 round bursts like nothing.

And I ain't talkin adult diapers either! prOkchOp, If you're only playin rec, I wouldn't think ya'd need the vision! Rec's my main game and neither of my Imp's are set-up with the vision system, and I've never ever chopped (as I tap my fist upon my head) knock on wood! Unless ya got a glacier board (turbo) I don't think you'll need it! I lite a guy up yesterday at rec, and the others asked if I had turbo, the Imp's stock shoot very fast with no chopping. Hey spend the extra money you'll save on a freak system!
Where the Vision is most important is when you are in speedball tournies, you've just made it to the 3 knukle of the snake and you are trying to get a shot at the left back stand up.
You are in a position where you can't get your hoper over the top of the gun (without getting shot out) you can WORRY about how fast or how long you shoot--NOW the vision is a life saver.
If you are standing up at the back with the hopper over the gun--no vision is needed!
You might want to think about telling the fokes you order from that you want a vision compatable gun. NOT ALL NEW IMPULSES CAN USE THE VISION. but if you are buying for a serverice orinated dealer, they will be able to make sure you gun can have a vision upgrade in the future (without any machining)
Hope this helps!
