Recently I've seen so many threads on "Is this better than that!" Or "Which impulse is better for a front/back/mid player?" and I've decided to just help compile a list to help all you undecided buyers on which impulse to get.
First. All impulses can run nitrogen and/or antisiphon CO2. For nitro, it doesnt matter if you have a high or low pressure tank, both are fine as long as you have your low pressure max flow on. (or other regulator).
Impulse- Standard impulse from smart parts. Average cost is 400-450 dollars. Good if you want to buy a standard impulse and upgrade from there.
Rat Impulse- From
www.e-paintballoutlet.com
Comes with Rat milling and a whole slew of accessories, very good if you want a custom made impulse down to the last detail.
www.e-paintballoutlet.com also has great deals on standard impulses.
Nasty Impulse- From
www.paintballwholesalers.com comes with magnetic trigger, freak barrel, gel grips, voodoo bolt, and a tape worm, along with the milling and annodizing. Vision is optional. The base model is about 630 dollars.
Strange Impulse- Designed by Team Strange and can be purchased from
www.smartparts.com. Comes with
Custom Milled Body
Matching Freak Barrel Front and Back
Matching Twister Top (High Rise)
Max-Flo Vertical Regulator
Matching Vertical Gas-thru Handle

www.meteorpaintball.com.
After this there is the Adrenaline Impulse. The Adrenaline is usually referred to as the daddy of all custom impulses, as it has altered airways to make it super-efficient. It comes with a huge amount of stuff, and some items can only be used with the adrenaline because of its altered airways.

Ok! Well, that ends the list of all the custom impulses there are out there, and I hope this guides you on your way to your purchase. Remember, one marker isnt better than the other, (example: is a rat better than a nasty?) its ALL PERSONAL PREFERENCE! Shoot the marker, then decide how you feel. You can buy all the parts on these custom impulses and put them on a standard impulse. (with the exception of the adrenaline impulse) So decide which one you like best.
Also, one impulse isnt better than the other for whatever position you play on the field. Its all personal preference.
And remember this: I was told by a friend of mine who said "I've never seen a bad impulse". Its very true. So remember that whatever impulse you buy, its going to be good. If anyone has anything to add then by all means DO IT, the purpose of this thread is to reduce the amount of "Should I get strange or an Adrenaline?" threads in our beloved forum. Happy hunting!
