When I decided to get a drop forward for my Piranha, I went to my local store, asked them for the cheapest drop, and they gave me this.
My first impression was, "Wow, this thing is huge!" I went from having trouble playing tight to having my gun balanced perfectly, and being able to tuck it just right. It actually dropped it just the right amount. If I could tuck my Piranha any tighter, the cocking rod would hit me in the mask with every shot.
30 bucks at the store was an excellent price. It's even cheaper online,
The fact that it's adjustable is very nice, and allows you to determine how far you want it to go forward.
This thing is really tall. It's height almost drove me nuts. I'm a front man, and hitting the snake with this was insane because it was so tall.
As others have stated, it doesn't have a very "bling-bling" look to it, and is really boxy.
Conclusion:
Overall, this is an excellent drop. I would recommend it to anyone. Good balance, good price, but the cosmetics take it to a 9.

I think that this is a nice drop. I mean, it does its job, drops and makes your gun more balanced. I think that this drop looks kind of ugly, but who cares? People can say what they want about my cocker, but lets see what they're saying when I light em' up. I like PMI products, and PMI did a nice job with this drop.
Conclusion:
Nice drop. If you want a more flashy, get a flame. If you want something durable, and something worth your money, get this drop. I give this a 10 because I've never had a problem with it.
It pulls the tank forward and down really far.
Cheap about $20
Weaknesses:
It will make your gun taller.
Review:
It's a really cheap drop forward that pulls the tank forward really far. It's definately strong. I have a gigantic 114/3k and it has broken yet. The only thing I don't like is how tall it makes my gun. I'll live with it though cuz my gun was pretty awkward without it. Now the tank is down and not in the way as much.
Conclusion:
It does what it's designed to do and it' really inexpensive. So if I were you I'd get it.

Tippmann model 98 custom, 14 inch CP barell, double trigger, PMI perfect drop, expansion chamber kit, hyperstar bolt, 12 volt revolution with X-board, 68ci 4500 psi crossfire tank (fiber wrapped)
Strengths:
Doas what it is ment to do. drops your tank forward.
Weaknesses:
Its not reallly pretty.
Review:
I hated not having a drop forward on my gun. the stupid tank was always in my way. I wouldnt be able to play paintball withought this drop forward. It came loose one time but there a little allen screw by the adapter all you gotta do is tighten it. NO problems with it yet. I wish my revolution hopper could be as durable as this product
Conclusion:
great for any level of play. doas what it is ment to do
It does what it is supposed to: Drops Forward and its adjustable.
Weaknesses:
Some times it will come slightly lose but, thats nothing a wrench can't fix.
Review:
The PMI Perfect Drop is the perfect addition to any marker. It drops the tank forward providing a more compact marker for speedball and makes it easier to aim because you can use your tank as a stock. Basically it is not to flashly, it is economically priced (25 dollars at my local proshop), and it does what it is supposed to: it drops the tank forward.
Conclusion:
I say buy it because it is economically priced and it does drop the tank forward. I give it a ten, it will treat you well.
Indian Creek BKO
VForce Shield Mask
Zap Mack 404 Electronic Loader

Strengths:
It Drops and forwards. You can adjust it to suit your marker
Weaknesses:
It scrathes easy
A bit heavy
Review:
This Drop Rips. I recently bought it and man was i impressed, it puts you tank right under the gun, makes ur setup much more compact. It scratches a little easier than i would've liked, but it doesn't matter that much. It is adjustable, so u can move it to suit your needs and what you are most comfortable with.
Conclusion:
This is a great drop, i definetly recomend this drop to anyone serious about paintball.
Shocker Turbo
right feed
90 ci/4500
HSW Grip
Vert Max-flow
Freak
Strengths:
Attached securely to grip frame.
Was sturdy enough not to break with a 90ci tank.
Adjustable forward positions.
Weaknesses:
Too big. It drops the tanks sooooo far down. You will have a 25 inch tall marker. That is not good for the hopper hits.
Heavy. Solid aluminum. Almost a pound
Conclusion:
Not for me. After using this I went to a mini drop. I don't like a tall setup.
A SCORE OF 5 IS FOR AN AVERAGE ITEM!!!!! This is an average drop forward
Piranha eforce gti
evil driver barrel
boss bolt
boss blade trigger
perfect drop
pmi multi-metal x chamber
rico ak hopper
Strengths:
Drops way forward
Strong
Perfect balance
adjustable
Weaknesses:
Heavy
Not exactly "pretty"
My bolt hits my lens sometimes
Review:
This is a damn good drop. It balances my gun "perfect"ly and doesn't look half-bad doing it. It's adjustable too but i just leave it all the way forward. This thing is strong a hell, too, which unfortunately causes it's biggest problem.
It's major problem is it's weight. The first thing i noticed when i got it was how heavy it was. You can feel the extra weight when you pick up the gun. But if a few ounces throws off your game, you need to quit paintballing and take up knitting or something. my second problem is it's aesthetics which leave a lot to be desired. I wouldn't exactly call it "stunning" but it's not horribly ugly either.
The most important thing to me is that it is functional, and this drop-forwards functionality is undeniable. It makes my gun perfectly balanced (with a 20oz. co2) and it lets me play REALLY tight. I'm starting to be more of a mid-front player instead of a back-mid player like i was before.
Conclusion:
It does everything it claims to but not much more (in the aesthetic realm, at least.) But who really cares??? I don't have enough money to be one of those "dye whores" anyway. =P

Strengths:

Review:
This drop forward places the tank at just the right place. My tank used to be dragging behind me now I can be mobile and compact at the same time. I am an agressive player and this drop forward allows me to be agressive. The drop forward also adds a distinctive look to my gun and the solid metal is durable.
Conclusion:
I reccomend this product for its good looks and functionality

Review:
This drop is cool, it makes it so that you can have your tank completely out of your way. And it looks cool, it also is very strong and durable. But drops are mainly personal preference. This one I think deserves a ten. I Love it. It is also stylish most of my friends want this drop.
Conclusion:
I recomend this drop to anyone because it does its purpose really well.
