Is your Tippmenn 98.....

[Simpsons11]

fell like a rifle? or a handgun? I'm just curious. Mine right now is like a rifle I like the fell for woodsball but the problem is it is really hard for speed ball. What can I get to make it different?

[JordanWGP123]

a drop forward(shocktech long drop is good) and a barrel about 10-12 inches

three inch barrel, brass eagle little hopper, 9 oz, big drop forward, thats a tiny gun

So does a drop forward make your CO2 farther away from your body?

A dropfoward will allow you to hold the marker closer to your body. So you can tuck in tighter on a bunker. Personally I like the rifle feel. To me, it feels more stable and I have an easier time picking out my shots. It also forces me to keep my marker in a ready to fire position instead of dropping my hands down and possibly missing out a chance to shot someone quickly.

that is why I like it too but some games I don't like it, is it easy to take off and on a drop forward?

Depending on the drop you are using, the ASA, and how long your hose is, will make it harder or easier. If the hose is only long enough to go to the ASA on the drop, then you'll have to take the gun apart to use a normal ASA on the gun again.

i dont have a drop currently but im looking around for one (cp 1 piece) but i've adjusted playing with a really long marker, i keep my elbows tucked in, and just hold the gun differently then i did off the start. so in other words i now play tighter because i messed around with some shooting positions and they worked

so really mine isnt quite a rifle and definitly isnt a handgun, duno how to describe it, oh well playing style is playing style

Of course it feels like a rifle. My 98 Sniper was 4 feet long. :eek:

There are ways to make it more compact. Just go buy a Spyder Compact...

Just kidding. :laugh:

Get a Lapco 7.5" bigShot, BE mini 50 rds hooper and a big drop forward.
