Question about vertical adapter
i was woundering if anything like the tippmanns vertical adapter or the karnivor vertical adapter exists... I am talking about the angled back vertical adapter. I know they exist in a front-ward leaning variance, but anything for the back?
and for what markers?

Outlaner- I think he means VA's that are angled the other way. I don't know of any, personally.

oh, i didn't really understand his message, so i showed the only angled one i could think of. i don't believe they are aviable except on the karnivore, so you may be out of luck.

yeah, the karnivor is the only gun i have ever seen with the backwards angled grip on it. Personally, i really like the forward angle on my angel... i dont think the backwards angle would be very comfortable.

If you got a shocker, you can turn the VA(you'd need a 15*) around, so its -15*.

Seems like it angled towards yourself would allow you to pull your foward hand it, showing less around a bunker. |

a back angle woud be uncomfortable. youy can tell just by pretending to hold a gun that would be designed that way. Which spyder do you have? you might be able to just remove the forgrip and hold on to the hose.

It would transfer holding up the gun from the outer head of your bicep to the inner head, which to many people, is much stronger and studier. Granted paintball guns dont weigh a whole bunch, but i dont see how this WOULDNT be more comfortable.

it would be in a more cramped space. also try this.
Hold your hand out bent in front of you. (Like if you were going to pledge alligiance with your left hand. ) Hold it out a few inches and make a fist. Now turn it so your palm is facing up. Now which is more comfortable? Your pinky towards your or away from you? Get my point?
Its not a big thing but over time it might get annoying. Kinda like a pebble in your shoe.

Its more comfortable pinky toward me.
I am an infantryman and I hold my rifle, pinky toward me. Its how all rifles are held. Seems right to me, and being cramped = what i do. I am a front player. I wanna keep a small profile, not a larger one.
Bent away = all the weight is being supported by you much smaller forearm muscle. It's not an opinion, it's a fact.

yeah the VA on the karnivor is ALOT more comfy than at 15* asa. I have one and i hate it, but im not about to get rid of it to screw up my ano. Your wrists just are naturally supposed to bend the way that the karnivor forces you to bend them
