How good are Impys for...

[BOBO2]

How good is an Impy for playing back? Front? I'm dead set on getting one but I want to know cuz I play either back or front not middle. And what size freak fronts should I get for my positions?

[bbqchicken8]

you can play anywhere w/ an imp, it's compact size and fast rof makes it perfect, you can use it for anything.

The Impulse is a very natral pointing gun for most people. this makes it a great front gun (for snap shooting). it can matain a vey high rate of fire which makes it a great back gun. It is advaible with the Vision system which is of great value anywhere on the field.

By now, most fokes have "learned better" about the old addage of this gun for the back and that gun for the front. The truth is and RAL GOOD gun can be used effectly anywhere on the field--no one gun is going to have a advange in range. The only resion you may not find some guns suitable for the front is that some guns simply don't point well.

On barrels...

To be 100% honest, we all use 10" freaks on our guns--front of back.

BUT...

With the lack of enforcement of the rules on air fields, frankly our back guys are going to start using 16" fronts on their guns. This is not because they are more accurate, or shoot farther. (they don't). its simply that the refs are letting fokes cheat on air fields by using longer barrels and pressint the barreles into the bunkers. If you don't do it, you are working at a disadvanage.

Ofcourse that is anouther selling point for the freaks!!! (you can put what ever lenghte you what on--and still have a full set of bore sizes!)

Thanks that helped me alot. You are the FOM right? How do you pronounce your name? Is it F-O-M or is it an actual like word and not letters? If you are I will be talking to you soon about my Impulse I'm ordering from your sight:D :D :D :D :D

I dont get what you meen by that? Whats pressint-ing?

-Knux wont go over 14inches ever

On air fields they push the gun barrel into the side of the bunker to make their barrel pop out and have a shot while the rest of their body remains covered. The longer the barrel, the better you can push all that plastic out of your way.

It's F. O. M. like Fat Old Man <G>

At the turny were were playing on Sunday, ther was a guy using a 18 inch barrel on a tippman with the electro conversion and a warp feed. Toward the end of the day (as the bunkers got a little soft) he could push so far into a bunker from the right side that the only way to hit nis was to hit the barrel.

But the way... i saw him get bunkered in 3 games. And frankly, he REALY got bunkered--without the ability to swing his gu toward the guy bunkering him, he would get stiched up and down. (he was also a little slow to call himselt out)

Personaly, I'll stick with my 10" freaks.

[BOBO2]

I'll get the 10 to start with but later I'll get a 12 and 14(for woods)

[bbqchicken8]

what's better about 16" if 10 is just as accurate and distant. i think it's quieter, is this true?

[pr0kch0p]

16" are betting for pressing against the sup'air bunkers as FOM was saying, if you arent using it for that purpose then you dont need one that long.

[bbqchicken8]

What do you think F.O.M. about the benefits of a longer barrel besides pressing on the bunker. i always felt that the longer the barrel was, the more porting. the more porting, the quieter the barrel was.

[BOBO2]

On samrt parts barrels thats not true, olny Cp, Dye, OTP, and maybey J&J have more on longer barrels.

[bbqchicken8]

it's kinda hard to believe that a 10" barrel tip has the same number of ports as a 16" barrel tip on the freak. is there any difference between the 10 and 16 performance wise.

[Weasel00]

There is no performance difference in the longer barrel. You may actually use more air with a longer barrel because you have to get the ball above 300 fps before it leaves the barrel so that it comes out at or below 300 fps. Some people claim that they are more accurate with a longer barrel because they site down the side of the gun. I personlly love my 10" Freak. I play front most of the time and feel I can play much tighter even when shooting. You can get up tighter on the bunker and still pop out with you gun up.

Look at this they all have the same amount of porting.

[FOM]

On the Smart parts barrels with the "tear drop" porting, there is only a ported section at the end of the barrel. On the AA barreal and the Progressive, the porting is longer on longer barrels.

many woods shooters like longer barrels because they can snake the tip of the barrel thru a screen of brush. many fokes feal they can shoot better with a longer barrel--mostly because they "aim' their guns instead of "point" their guns.

I have never liked long barrels. but a zillion years of competive skeet shooting taught me to point rather then aim.

ohhh yeah, i forgot that the freak used the teardrop porting, i think when i get around to it i'm gonna get a 10" freak set. maybe a blue tip. i'm not sure if i wanna mount my maxflow vertically w/ the eclipse mount. is there any advantages to this besides shortening the height a bit?

oh yeah, F.O.M. do you know anything about the Genesis Vision system? cause i was thinking about getting either a genesis board or a genesis vision board. the makers never responded to my emails about them. so i'm trying to learn about em and i saw that you sold the genesis board on ur site. they say that i should have doc install it on the website but that i can try and install it myself. i'm pretty competent w/ my impulse so i'm just interested. also do you know how much it is for the hole genesis vision system?
