new guns and drop forwards

[Richard (Boots)]

As a returning old school player where are all the drop forwards for all the new guns ?

I fancy a new gtek but would like a small drop forward what's the options .

Nobody really uses them anymore mate because guns have got so much smaller. Although to be fair the trend is starting to go back to guns with a longer frame base as found in the LV1, CS1, Vanquish and Luxe. However, drops are very very rarely seen these days on any marker that isn't an old school cocker. I think Lips paintball may still sell the CP micro drop but I couldn't say for certain. I'd suggest trying the Gtek without a drop on it and see how you get along with it before adding one.

Maybe I can start a trend .

There's a practical reason, drop forwards raise the gun when you shoulder your bottle increasing your profile as such.. If you can get used to the integrated bottle mounts, it's actually much better and easier to handle.

Also, being a smaller target is never a bad thing

If you do put a drop on something gotta be a CP flame. Mmmmm stylish.

Think this pic of an overdone Ion says it all...

So cool it needed 2 drops lol

What's a drop?

The thing in the photo above

Drop - as in it 'drops down' the position of the Asa and where the bottle sits

Drop forward - as in it goes down and forward

Why do you want a small drop forward? Any reason?
