What is a drop forward???...Yes I'm new.

**element503** · August 24th, 04:33 PM

a drop will connect to the bottom of your frame and go forward so your co2/hpa doesnt stick out so far.

heres a pic:

A drop foreward is a fitting you put on a paintball gun so that your air tank is dropped down and forward allowing for a better balance of wieght. Some dont like these because they think it gives them a bigger profile to get hit with.
In this picture, the drop foreward is located on the bottom of the gripframe:

So it changes the angle of you tank from flat to a 45?

**element503** · August 24th, 04:40 PM

if you are going to get a drop get a mini drop

**Holdem** · August 24th, 04:43 PM

what's the difference between a drop and mini drop?

**element503** · August 24th, 04:58 PM

minis are smaller

**Holdem** · August 24th, 05:00 PM

Smaller, as in les drop or what?

**element503** · August 24th, 05:01 PM

less, well if your working nitro on it u might need a smaller on but if co2 it wont matter

**Holdem** · August 24th, 05:06 PM

I guess I still don't get it.

**element503** · August 24th, 05:18 PM

are you running co2 or nitro?

**Holdem** · August 24th, 10:33 PM

Will be nitro.

**element503** · August 24th, 10:49 PM

then get a mini, nitro has a fatter tank so if the drop is to big it will hit the drop and wont screw in properly

**Holdem** · August 24th, 10:52 PM

got it. do I need some kind of expansion chamber thing for the nitro?

**element503** · August 24th, 10:56 PM

like a regulator? um, ask someone else on that, im not sure about that

**Holdem** · August 24th, 11:04 PM

All an expansion chamber will do for you with HPA is act as a gas through grip.

For the reg question, it depents on the gun you use, if you have a stack tube blow back, (spyder, fishy, so on) then you dont need an reg, but if you have a higher end gun (Impy, Cocker, Timmy, so on) then you will need a regulator, which they should have come with.

A reg for n2 or a expansion chamber for c02...

good regs:
Sidewinder

*CP*
Bob long torpedo

Not sure what you mean by "gas through grip", but my gun will be a Dragun TES.

Gas through grip is just like a handle, or forgrip, that the gas is routed through from a hose from your tank, into your gun.

As for if you need a reg/expanstion chamber, the answers no, you will be fine without one.
