| The Psycho Ballistics drop forward is machined from high quality aluminum and is black anodized for a long lasting finish. This kit moves the tank down 1 ¾" and forward 7 ¾" and is made to use the stock Model 98 gasline. One unique feature about this product is its swivel head. With 1 minute and an allen wrench, you can have your tank mounted on either side, or on the bottom. The kit includes;
drop forward, swivel head, and mounting hardware. |

| Review: |
When i first used this product, it was with a 20oz co2 bottle, but now it's with a 68/30 HPA tank. It made my gun more comfortable to hold, and especially help in tight places. Some people may say it's too big, but i think it's just the right size for larger tanks. It is also ported for a gauge which is a nice feature. I bought this drop for $25 at a local store.
Along with it's large size though, comes more weight. It made my gun significantly heavier. The 32* one is lighter because it has less aluminum, but it isn't as steady as this. Also, the screws connecting the asa to the drop oxidized after several games, never being exposed to moisture. The asa is also very air restrictive, so i had to drill it out when i got it. No big deal. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Would definitely get this if you're using a 20oz co2, or a nitro tank that is larger than 68/30. Otherwise, i think that the drop is too big for smaller tanks. |

|
| Review: |
With my gun the connector elbow for the macro line is about 1/8 of an inch away from touching the drop forward. I am very happy with this drop i have never been able to play this tight with any gun ive ever played with a 48cu tank comes out barely have an inch from the back of my beaver tail. ano is very good too.
Ive only had one problem with this drop. I comes loose alot i dont really care though and it doesnt come so loose that it falls off. It is probably might fault though because im always running and sliding and never ever ever supporting my tank |
|
| Conclusion: |
Strengths out weigh the weaknesses and i love it so much it just allows me to get in so tight i give it a ten.
PS before you buy a drop forward look at not only how much it brings your tank forward but also how far down it goes ie. PMI perfect drop 7 1/2 inches forward but 4 inches down add that to the gun and the hopper and you have a very very tall gun |

Good Buy, I suggest it, especially for a front player, like me.
Really Reduces Profile and just makes it look cooler.
Worth the money.
Looks good in BLUE. (Why does everyone always get the black ones?)
Well Known Company.
Fits both offset and standard screw setups.
Comes with screws.
No brainer to add on.
Easy to clean and maintain.
Competitively priced.

Get it! I give it a 10 out of 10 because its so good. And it is blue! |

Psycho Ballistics Drop Forward |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
It moves the tank very far forward, which is what really matters. Also it looks awesome in Chrome on a green Imagine |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Well, the screws that came with the imagine under the handle were too long and the heads were way too big to fit inside the drop forward good. So after an hour and a half of grinding, they finally fit, but that isn't really the drop forward's fault. What got me was that my tank, that has an on off valve on it, would not screw in far enough! I took my little brothers 9 oz and 12 oz, and niether of them fit either. then I took my friends 20 oz and it finally fit. But I still have a tank that won't screw into the drop forward far enough to where it will work alright. |
|
| Conclusion: |
It's a lot of trouble to get this thing working on my gun, but in the end it will look awesome. That's okay though, no big deal to put some effort into you set up, but the tank not screwing in is really odd. But it looks good and works great, and that's what matters.....I could use a new tank anyways. |

| Strengths: |
It gives a really big drop, yet it is the perfect length to balance out the gun. It is some what ajustable, not much, but some. It is cheap, and i am really suprised that it isnt more, cause it is one of the best drops on the market |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Not much, the only problem that i have run into is that it has really sharp corners on cher it attaches to the grip frame. i have stabbed my self to the point of bleeding 3 times in just a few weeks. but hey, im retuarded or something, so dont take that against the drop. but it would help if the smoothed out smo of the corners. lol |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy this drop. what have you got to loose, it is only 20 bucks, and it IS the best drop out there. I would highly recomend it. |

| Review: |
This is a great drop forward ive used spyder flames....and a sundry of homemade drops...this drop is great, mine i have 5.25 forward and 2.5 down creates a balance that ive never felt b4 in any drop. i can hold my marker with one finger under trigger guard and it is balanced....even with heavy ass 20 oz filled. I love this drop....but the only weakness in mine at least is that the ASA pin/plug the depresses the pin valve...engages very early and if you screw your tanks all the way in very tight it will actually stop flow of gas, but not a problem the threads are sturdy and thick so as soon as i hear gas enbgage i give it one more turn and i havent had a problem yet. tank doesnt wobble at all.. |
|
| Conclusion: |
in conclusion great product sturdy as hell, well made easy to use..great product, 9 for the asa thingy |

| Review: |
I bought this item on a whim, and boy did I luck out. I got one originally for my Compact, because I wanted something to try and pull the tank in and balance it. This drop forward did the trick. It pulled the bottle down 2.5 in. and moved it forward 7 in. And my marker which had been back heavy, became a balanced pice of ripping machinery. I was so stoked. It even had the offset screw holes for a spyder! I liked this product so much that after I bought my mag, and tried out a couple of other drop forwards, I went out and bought another psychoballistics d.f. for it. It does everything I need it to do, by allowing me tuck in tight. It works great if you play with a large bottle that is 88c.i. or bigger. The only downside is that this pice of metal does nopt look pretty. Hard angles and straight metal, but hey that's okay. I'll take functionality over looks anyday. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is an excellent product that does exactly what it is intended to do. You can tuck in tight with this drop forward and feel confident knowing that you are using a quality product. |

|
| Review: |
This is great drop if you've got a big tank like me or if you just like being tight. If however you don't like being tight and you've got a 68ci or something around there, don't get this.
A down side to this drop though is that it only takes a bottomline and not an asa which kinda sucks. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I love this drop for what I do so I give it a 9 but I think with this product it's all about preference. |
