The bushmaster is way underated at this forum all I hear is impulse impulse when in fact it is a bushmaster knock-off. I think newbies need to get their facts straight when upgrading to an electro. The impulse is just horrible in my opinion. The trigger sucks,its ugly as all hell, its tall with that reg at the bottom. I dont see how anyone would be able to shoot fats with that gun without getting a trigger job and a gadget grip. And it lacks the upgrades....

The Shocker was THE first evey Electronic gun. Why would smart parts need to copy ICD to get a design for a type of gun THEY invented????
I think newbies need to get their facts straight when upgrading to an electro.
Please read the above response and straiten up YOUR facts.
The trigger sucks
No, it doesent, could fire much faster with a long fast trigger than a short mushy trigger.
its ugly as all hell
And the Bushy isnt???
its tall with that reg at the bottom
Thats why they make a Vertical reg set-up
And it lacks the upgrades....
Stock guns dont have upgrades. Upgrade are what you put on a gun after you buy it.

you get your facts straigh "newbie" I have been playing for 3 years and I know what I am talking about. The impulse is a totally different design from the shocker and you know it. Its suppose to be smaller and lighter claims smart parts but its a POS and its very unreliable. Smart Parts has horrible customer service, the gun is tall and ugly, the bushmaster comes in color and milling, it has more modes of fire (although pointless), it has ICD's nice customer service, very upgradable (check obdo.net "newbie") and it has been around longer (reliablility facor. Cant help to mention that crappy trigger on the imuplse. If you want your impulse to compete with a bushmaster you need a trigger job, vertical air or gadget grip, and then we could talk. Till then, you get your facts straight "newbie"

Well, arguably then you could say that the bushy is an angel knockoff, because they both involve hammer/valve operations, and the angel in turn was just an electronic spyder, which in turn was just a rip off on the VM-68. So we're all just copying the VM68. As for being similar, true they're both stacked tube, but the impulse has no LPR meaning the bolt moves around at 180 psi giving it a "unique" feel. I say "unique" 'cause some people really like it, and I think it's nasty. The bushy on the other hand uses an LPR, meaning the bolt/hammer assembly moves with alot less force and therefore has a different feel to it. By the same token though the impulse operates at a slightly lower PSI than the bushy (maybe the vapors run at 180, dunno really). The comparison could go on forever
does the bushy work as well on co2?I think thats what makes the impulse so great for poor people like me. As soon as i find a team and have upgraded my vtl ill be picking one up. To bad i suck:P!
method84
05-23-2001, 11:04 AM
just get a Palmer Stabilizer reg and you can pop in Co2 on a bushy
did you notice the "I am poor" statement. Bushys are more expensive then a impulse. Why pay more and then have to pay even more for aftermarket upgrades. When i can pay less for something that has every thing i need and a kickazz regulator and gun

How much are impulses these days? I though they were $450 which is the same as a bushmaster. I agree that the bushmaster is underrated on these forums but I dont think the impulse is crap. It just seemds that everyone here thinks that the new thing it the best. The guy who does the vapor said that he can get the vapors under150 psi easy and alot lower. He doesnt want to lose effeciency though.i Think the bushy and angel are the only 2 guns that can have every feature available on any electro and the bushy does it for alot less. Acually the bushy doesnt have the air assist which ive hear doesnt work very well and can acually cause a slower feed but Ive nver had any experience with it(probably just started a big rumor that isnt true. As the far as the triggers go, with a new adjustable trigger the impulse will have one just as good as a bushy, and the bushmaster has an adjustable trigger already at 3 points. It does lack a tension adjuster unless you get an aftermarket frame but a simple spring change wll make it snappier. The impulse is easier to bounce the trigger only because it has more kick like elTwitcho was talking about, but i would rather have less kick than more trigger bounce.

I am not a newbie.
Even I can admit I am not always right.
The only reason I did not get a bushy is because of the mushy trigger and you could only run it off C02 by upgrading and I dont beleive in upgrading a gun to make it work.
I bought an Impulse because the trigger took a liking to me and by the time you get a Gadget grip on an Impulse it cost $10 more than a stock Bushy. You need a better reg for the bushy to make it work on C02, another 50. Thats a $500 set up to get a Bushy to work on C02. I got my Impulse for $420 and it works on C02, add a gadget grip for $40 and thats $460. Performance wise they are close to the same though.
And stop calling me a newbie. I have been playing for 1 1/2 years myself.

well if your too poor to afford nitro then maybe you shouldnt play so quit your whining. Bushmaster works fine off of co2 for less than 100 more. I wouldnt even want co2 in my gun it is the gas of the devil. Sorry but a bushmaster is a better gun and a lot of impulse owners are so insecure about their gun they are to blind to see it. Someone close this thread because its pointless and I dont feel like posting anymore.

I own a Cocker but I am looking for a new electro gun. Both the Imp and the Bushy are on the top of my list. Here is how I see it.
IMP=$400
Advantge
-Better stock barrel
-Works better on Co2 then Nitro. (MaxFlow has filter to keep dirty Co2 out)
-Seems more reliable
-No max rof
-Cheap air source ($50 20oz with on/off and anti siphon)
-Better reg.
Disadvatage
-It's from Smarts Parts
-Color adds $50
-Ugly
-Tall without vert reg.
-Trigger
BUSHY=$450
Advantage
-Many modes
-Free colors
-ICD customer service
-Delern bolt (spelling)
-Better milling
-Adjustable trigger
Disadvatages
-Friend's broke using C02. :(
-Barrel
-Reg.
-Friend's had broken wires from factory. :(
-Ugly
The bottom line is this. You can get a Imp with adjustable trigger (www.wermmods.com) for about $450 and have a better reg and barrel. That is why I am prob. getting an Imp.
method84
05-23-2001, 04:41 PM
dont forget the gadget grip (500)....better off getting bushy if you have nitro if not then get the cheaper gun...bushy is way better. Reg isnt as bad as you say it is and the barrel is actually decent. I still use it. With a bushy you only need a macro line house and a tank and your ready to go. I dont see why all you people think its so expensive. You get a 50 dollar 20oz co2 tank with anti syphon. For 100 more you can get a 68 / 3000 PSI. I am not seeing the connection. And ricky, just about every tournament player uses nitro. Its more consisten and cleaner. Shut your mouth boy.

Hey xpert, you should factor in future upgrades-thats what made me choose the bushy over an impulse, matrix, timmy etc. I could get any gun at wholesale but i chose the bushy. If you think the angel is cool and has alot of cool features, why not get it for half as much? With a 200$ upgrade a bushmaster will have everything that an angel has and some that it doesnt. You can even get a personal greeting on it? You also have the option of getting an anti chop eye for $100+ less, intellifeed etc. You can have a bushmaster that has all the gizmos and the performance of angel, with an anti chop eye, intellifeed, with money left over for a barrel set and nitro for the price of a stock angel. Try to get the angel running along side with this setup and look at spending $2000+ bucks.

thank you farve...finally, somone actually sensible on this topic. I added somewhere in here the lack of upgrades the impulse had I already know the theroy and thats why I chose the bushmaster also. Its the poor mans angel. With a few upgrades it is an angel and can be better than an angel. The chaos chip, itellifeed, LPR, HPR, you name it, theres an upgrade for it. Thanks again farve.

Not including fade anno and milling it's about the same or very slightly cheaper. Though you'll never get the BL customer service (ICD is awesome though) and I feel the bushy is a smaller gun, which comes at the price of balance. The bushy does not balance as nicely in my opinion, and I can get very tight to my bunker with my timmy, though some people want even smaller, so the bushy may be for them. Only problem, is if tourneys other than the NPPl support the NPPl ruling on boards, the bushy will no longer be tourney usable with the chaos eye, which kinda sucks. Ah, and timmies now come from Bob with a 32 bps limit, which is changeable through the DIPs to 75. Fastest gun on the market, Twitcho says yes. Possible to get your ROF over 20? Twitcho says not unless you got some mad skill. But that's besides the point :)

Yes, the Fairys, gnomes and pixy dust make it shoot farther.
Explain to me How it can be more accurate???
Good reg = Consistency:
They both have the same reg so the Consistency is the same.
Good consistency = good accuracy:
They have the same consistency so HOW could one of them be better. They have the same guts and it has been proven that a closed bolt makes your gun a little less accurate than an open bolt. They have the same guts and run below 200 PSI.
It is not logical to say the Shocker is better than the Impulse.

They have almost no guts that are the same.(It says this in the Impulse manual.) The reg. and solenoid (but the Shocker has 2 different solenoids) are pretty much the only things that are the same.
