Impulse, what to waste my money on next?

[ciaran.mooney]

Apparently Impulses require there to be a ball in the breech (and fired) to recock. Because they use the pressure thats been used to shoot the ball to re-cock itself.

Several mods out to fix that. But you can stick a barrel condom on the end if you havnt got one.

just me and ciaran chatting, having Q's about impulses.

SOLENOID

TRY ONE OF THE SOLENOID OPTIMIZERS WHICH WILL ENHANCE YOU'RE SHOT TO SHOT CONSISTENCY AND GIVE MORE AIR TO SPARE. IGNORE THE REG UPPGRADE THE ONE THAT COMES WITH THE GUN I GREAT (IT MAYBE THE BEST) AND THE IMPULSE IS LOW PRESSURE ALREADY. BY THE WAY THE FULLFLOW SHOULD MAKE DRY FIRING TROUBLEFREE BY ISOLATING AIR SUPPLY FOR CYCLING.

Off topic but On topic.Kind of.

I got an Impulse with a solenoid and it does what it says on the tin.and it's cheap too.Just remember to adjust the dwell after doing so...
Off topic.Do you think it is okay to use my impulse in rec-ball or should buy a cheapo tippman or something?It seems like my Impulse wouldnt withstand the battering.Maybe it's just me not wanting to scratch it.
what do you think?

depends how rough u play? do u going diving all over the place? do u just walk and cover fire? cos at the NvS i was diving evrywhere for some reason, and my Evo got dirty like hell, it aint good, just the adrenelin rush

 

[skullicious]

pretty rough yeah.I don't so much mind it getting worn looking.I just would like it to not break.Also..
My on/off swicth is buggered.Any idea on how to fix it?I might sort it out when I get my vision board.The little bit that pokes out and fits in the switch has snapped.

You should see what touny players put their markers through! Im sure that an impulse would work fine in a Rec environment, the only thing is dirt getting inside, and the only way thats gonna happen is via the feed tube or barrel.

Cheers for the feedback peeps.
I think I will take my impulse rec ball then.I heard that if u get sand in the bolt ur screwed and have to take the whole gun apart.Any confirmation?

The reg upgrade we are talking about is a Low Pressure Reg... this allows you to separate the bolt cycling pressure from the pressure of the air that actually fires the ball. The Impulse runs at 150-200ish psi which is far more than you actrually need going through your solenoid to cycle the bolt and hammer... the LPR allows you to drop the cycling pressure and increase the firing pressure which makes the marker as a whole more efficient. Yes the stock reg is good but does not perform this function at all... you still need the stock or similar reg to maintain your firing pressure with the LPS mod... its not a reg upgrade but a modification to increase efficiency.
