impulses

FalloutMan wrote: alot of people own KIA's and geo's too. and my 200 dollar mag was lighter than my $700 impulse. reflective eyes are used in smart parts guns, most other guns use breakbeams which are more reliable. ive owned an impulse ( I have to and after seeing just how baad they are I agree they're poop guns) ive owned a freak kit (I have to but I disagree with you here. I personally still love my Freak and its probably the only thing I like from SP's. I like my Freak so much that I plan on getting another one for my Alias Timmy. ive owned a maxflow tank i sold the impulse ( I don't blame you I did to and I woke up and got a real tourney gun not a POS "wannabe")  i sold the maxflow tank the freak kit sits in my closet because i cant sell it locally because of all the other people that have owned smart parts products make it so noone will buy them anymore. and you would wonder why i dont recommend impulses?

I everything you said except for the part about the Freak.

DRAGON wrote: So are you saying that not having an eye at all is better than a reflective eye or just trying to find a little nitch to poke at SP about? How is a breakbeam eye system more reliable?. Do the reflective eyes tend to break down more often or something? The only advantage of a breakbeam eye over reflective is that it has a greater threshold to black paint than a reflective eye. That has nothing to do with reliability but more to do with having a better response to black paint. I suppose if that is the case it can be simply resolved by not using black paint lol -

In many ways yes I would rather have no eye system then one that only works 2% of the time and yes refelctive eyes are much more reliable. Thats why you hear of people complaining of SP eye and not Angels and other eye systems that use break beam technology. The eye system of SP is a freaking joke and its not secret that it only works half the time its on. The Eyes are made to detect the dropping motion of the paintball which is one of the problems. All the other GOOD eye systems are made to detect the ball in the breech not while its dropping into the breech. Also SP trashy eyes are reflective not break beams. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that dark colors absorb light. Well it seems that the people at SP were to dumb to figure this out. They used a reflective eye that doesn't work when dark paint is being used. The laser shoots out and instead of bouncing back and telling the gun that there is a paintball in the breech the laser just gets absorbed into the paintball.

DRAGON wrote: As far as buying and selling markers goes, in case you didn't notice, a lot of people buy markers and sell them because they get old, don't like them or in general want to move on to something else. So 'NEWS FLASH', you selling your Imp is not an isolated case as you so illusively portray it lol. Everybody wants a Freak kit, if you haven't sold it chances are you're asking too much for it. Put it up in the BST forums at PBN and see how long it lasts there lol -

Actually maybe if you actually got over your bias feelings towards the Impy and took a look around you would see tons of people are selling Impys. Hmm wonder why could it be that MOST people realize just how bad and trashy quality they really are. I also disagree that people just sell guns to get something new. Most people sell thier guns because 1) the gun they thought was perfect for them ends up not being what it cracked up to be (hmm sounds alot like the Impy) so they buy something new until they find the gun thats perfect for them. I know that happened to me and now I found the gun that I think is perfect for me. The other reason is that the person or people are on a sponsered team and get sponsered by a certain gun company, well they might give up on that sponsership and move on to someone else forcing them to get a new gun.

For the 100th time the people not promoting them are the people who have owned them and now how bad they are. Now if it was me and I was making this choice I would listen to the 20 or more people in here saying Impys are a cheap POS then the 2 biased people saying that they are good guns.

B2k4 or B2k5 come with a 4 way adjustable trigger, lpr, good board, good eyes, look nice and arent so big, also icd is a great company with great quailty unlike smart parts.  So how is an impulse any better then a b2k4 or b2k5

Its not PERIOD! For just about the same price you get a much better gun with the ICD B2k.

My own efficiency tests have shown that there is what I consider to be a significant difference in efficiency between a good fit and a poor fit. For speedball tournies it may not be a big deal. If you only have a single bore barrel and you switch paint all of the time just adjust the pressure/dwell and hit the fill it yourself air lines between each game. For big games etc. EVERY ounce counts for me so I don't spend time in air lines. I bring enough air to these types of games to last all weekend and the paint to match my supply of air. 4 cases of paint, 4 20 oz. c02 bottles and a 68/4500 kicker just incase my efficiency might be off.

Ya.. Xball air isnt an issue. Didnt consider big games

AMOF of all the forums that I attend, this one seems to be the most biased against them. Funny thing is though I'm not sure that it's having the saturated effect that the fabled few desire. I've been seeing alot of Tippman owners at the IOG site buying into these rippers. Since this thread was initiated there is a member here seeking my advice about which one he should buy. He's getting one from County now from Mike. OH ya.....even Mike owns an Imp, imagine that -

Wow dude you need to seriously get your head out of your butt..Impys pwn yea right the only thing Impys pwn are BE guns everything else pwns Impys. Have you ever tried a real tourney electro gun like Timmys, Angels, Cyborgs, and Matrixs? If you have not then you need to and when you do you'll see Impys are no where near as good as those guns. If you have tried those guns then I would like to know how in gods name could you possibly think Impys are better. All those guns are faster, lighter, more gas effcient, smaller, have better eye systems and are just all around better quality guns. Even guns in the Impy class are better then the Impy. The B2k is better and the Pimp is better then the Impy. If anyone is biased in here its you because you can't admit to TRUE facts that the Impy can't compare to guns in its own class and guns in a higher class.  You refuse to accept the fact that every tourney gun out there is better then the Impy and the joke is it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Just look at the facts thats been handed out over and over again. Impys are a POS get over it and try a real tourney gun for freakin gods sake.

Wouldn't you like to know Let's just say I've been there for quite a while and leave it at that lol -

I have a bunch of different markers and don't restrict myself to manufacturer tunnel vision. AMOF I was actually considering a Freestyle as an addition to my PB arsenal since I can get them for around $300 less than internet market price. Less than what you'd pay for a Bushy. It's the only ICD product that would be worthy of acquiring IMO but when I see these ICD thread terrorists here spamming and lieing in any SP thread that's posted, it just turns me away from ICD products all together. If this is an example of ICD owners I don't want to even be associated with those type of people at all. If you need to tenaciously lie and decieve members of these boards to satisfy your sick need, you all seem to be missing a few cards from your deck to me. All you're doing is puting a gap between paintball players when everybody should be standing together. If you think these things about Imps, I often wonder what your sincere views of Tippmann's are. I will pay a bit more and get a Shocker, Timmy or something nice that may be thrown into the arena in spring -

You as well as the others once again missed the whole point here. This continual, "my dogs better than your dog" really isn't the point is it? Face the real truth here.........this is all a farce to downplay the things that SP did to ICD in the past and everybody's still for no aparent reason got their panties in a bunch about it. You guys are still losing a no show battle because SP still sells tons more markers than ICD ever did and will and continues the trend lol. The reality of all this just irks y'all so much that you can't stand it and your only outlet is to try to intimidate members here from buying SP products all together by terrorizing every single thread that's posted about Imps or any other SP marker with generalizations, clichets and comparisons for the red team. Face it.........no matter how hard you try to prove it, SP will PWN ICD every day of it's existance lol.........woo schwoo!!! Reality's tough sometimes and I think for some odd reason the bottom line must really make you fellas feel as small as ICD is compared to SP about using their products. Get over it and have an after dinner mint on me lol

* low feed tube (smaller profile)
Many feedneck choices for the Imp, take your choice. I prefer the stock feedneck as I like to have a nice stack of paint ready to feed the breech to cover people with. Tighter profile lol......we're talking 2" here -
* delrin bolt (lighter, less damagin to the breach)
Many choices of bolts as well -
* lpr (better control over solenoid's pressure)
Imps don't need LPR's maybe Bushy's do eh? I've used my Imp w/o an LPR for 2.5years now and my noid really doesn't need to be controled, it's doing just fine on its own -
* trigger is more adjustable (better customization)
Truthfully.....how many points of adjustment do you really need? Shall I insert the word 'hype'? An Imp with blade trigger has 4 adjustment points anyways -
* Break Beam Ace (will see any type of paint)
Here's a cookie for break beam anti-chop eye. Since all ICD proponents seem to think they deserve one share them with your buds lol -


Y'all just seem to keep overlooking that if you don't use black paint, this issue of yours doesn't really matter. Have another cookie please lol -

All aftermarket Imps come standard with most all of these things you list here. Just think about it, with all of these so-called Bushy 'perks', Imps still outsell Bushy's lol. How does it feel to be second in line? -









Oh ya......almost forgot to mention, the chips in those cookies are made from Ex-lax......enjoy.... hee hee -

You guys are so engrossed in this thing that you haven't even noticed that I never mention which is better because quite frankly, it doesn't matter to me what you think is better. You'll never hear me dis Bushys either like you do SP markers. You could care less what I think about Bushy's as well. If someone attacked Bushy's like you do SP markers here, you'd be all over it in a heartbeat. Well I the same. You can try and try and try and try and try and try to rationalize what seems to be better but in the end the numbers tell all and we gotz da numbas and you jus gotz the leftovers. Have another cookie OK and ex.....umma.....relax -

my friend has an impulse nd wut i hear from my other friends is that its an insane gun nd the trigger very easy to squeze. i dont no the make yet but i heard most of them more accurate then an upgraded tippmann. dont take my word for cuz i neva shot 1 before im just tellin wut i herd from my friends
