Impulse ( Up Grades )

[chris cheeseman]

Hello I have just purchesed an Impulse off e-bay, all that is done to it is a magnetic blade trigger and dye grips. I am jst wondering what up grades are worth putting in to get better performance and accuracy out of the gun. For a reasonable price thought.

This Impulse does not have vision!

[Evil_Omen]

barrel would be the first thing I would get

[ironpanther]

followed by every available new design part starting with ram, bolt, and valve.

[Pvilleplayer]

yeah New Designz is really good with upgrades, i would get a tapeworm too.

or look at ratpb.com and look for their internal kit things.

[PsybusterX]

vision is a must if you don't already have it

[MATTY]

low rise feedneck!!!!!
bolt
lpr/tapeworm
barrel is a must and vision is also

[chris cheeseman]

What type of bolt should i get?

[Pvilleplayer]

NDZ equilizer
voo doo
blind anti-chop



the NDZ is my favorite.

[chris cheeseman]

How about barrels. Like what is the difference between a rifle barrel with threds inside or a normal straight barrel?

[Pvilleplayer]

get a barrel kit, freak, or any evil kit.

[ironpanther]

do a little research and learn about barrel kits. there are probably more than a dozen articles written soley on the pros and cons of different barrels.

Ok, A topic I know quite a bit about, not b/c I'm brilliant but I had an impy and knew it well.

I will give you 2 links, IF you do not go to them then they won't help you. They will answer 99.9% of your questions.

These links are akin to what the bible means to christianity. Read every single item that even remotely pertains to any question you can think of.

Couple things I've read that I'd like to 2nd or comment on.
1) Get the NDZ Equalizer stubby bolt, do not get a blind bolt.
2) Iron panther is right, NDZ makes the best parts. Don't buy evil crap
3)When you read the FAQ and ultimate sticky links I just gave you, you will want to keep in mind to balance your internals if your going to replace them all
4) Psybuster knows more about paintball than everything I learned in 4 years at Chico State, however vision is not a must for impulses. If you have a very fast hopper you can get by. A buddy has a halo on a 32* impy and has never chopped ever.
5) If money is an issue don't buy a barrel kit first. When you read the ultimate stickies and threads on "what to upgrade first" get a new bolt, one decent barrel (this is covered on which ones to get for cheap), and maybe an LPR.

I purchased a NDZ LPR (ANS Jackhammer reg but with NDZ name) and it made a huge difference in my efficiency.

If you go hog wild and get every ndz part like I did you can have an impulse that will run with really anything out there. Of course this will cost you about $1k.

Good luck and if you have further questions feel free to aim or pm me.

READ THE AIR 101 THREAD! I spent alot of time writing it and coverered alot of the questions that are regulars on here. IF you don't find your answer in there then ask.

[chris cheeseman]

Alright now i got another question. Upgrading to a vision I want to do it but i think i migh purches a was board too I here it make the gun twice as good and efficient. How will that work? can you fit two boards on the gun? I want the board that give you different firing modes.

[ironpanther]

here is the link to answer all your questions on the WAS board for the impulse.
http://www.wickedairsportz.com
No the was will not increase your efficiency. efficiency is a mechanical property of guns and changing the elctronics does not change the mechanics. NO you cannot fit two boards into one gun.

[chris cheeseman]

which one do you think is the best WAS board or the Impulse Vision upgrade

[ironpanther]

WAS

[Pvilleplayer]

WAS by far, with the 20-30 dollars extra, you get an amazing board, it almost is uncompareable.
