Return of the drop?

[Dark Stranger]

With the size of markers getting insanely small in all aspects of size, could we be seeing a return of drop forwards on the tourny scene?

I use a 14cm long drop forward, but I'm a right shortarse

surely a drop makes it even smaller eric? length wise...

Maybe he turns them around and uses them as drop backwards?

People want the perfect setup, and joy have their guns right up their noses... I get mine like that by having a short bottle but a rail is the best bet for adjusting length, drops aren't adjustable and your hopper goes up.

But the main put off with a drop was that it raised the marker above your head, making your hopper into a 'hit me' beacon. With a lesser profile in terms of hight with todays markers, surely you could use a sensible size drop without compromising your profile?

why would you want to use a drop? In my opinion it is soo much easier to play with a longer setup. To guage the perfect length for me, i hold the gun in one hand, then turn my hand palm up so the bottle is resting on my forearm, if the back of the bottle reaches the joint in my arm its the perfect length. Also manufacturesrs have cut down the height of their markers to lower the profile/bring the hopper lower, why ruin that by sticking a drop on it?

I suppose you are right. It was just something I thought might make an interesting thread. Some people seem to swear by them.

Dynasty Dysected chapter and verse...

The point about the drop argument was that a drop prevents correct stance,snap shooting etc..no you will never see them come back.

drops stop you from effectively executing key fundimental technique.

you will get shot.
