Drop Forwards in Pros?

I was watching the 2006 Smart Parts World Championships and I noticed that not one player had a drop on their marker. Do the pros just not use them or is there a regulation against it? I would think it makes sense to use them because you can get tighter in bunkers and snapshot easier (IMO) but at the same time its more weight and those guys are moving constantly.

Drops are very rarely used anymore. Drops actually make your arm stick out farther while you are tucking in because the tank will be under or on the side of your arm. Most all tournament players use the rail asa's. Drops have been phased out over the years. Honestly having the tank farther out feels better to most tournament players while running and shooting. Posting up, and also watching lanes.

Drops might bring your tank and gun farther in but also puts your arm farther out.

The only pro you will ever see using a drop forward is billy wing.

look into a cp rail and cp mini on off your best bet would be to contact kevin Sorensen or skinny on here just pm him and tell him you want a cp rail and cp on off and he can get them for you for a decent price.
