Just waiting for a couple of parts to get in and get new pictures.  Its frustrating, I had to take it in to get serviced and they shop had to send it to GOG.  Then GOG cracked one of my SPD grips and tore the ram housing assembly, back cap and lpr nipple up.  Luckily I either had spares or Have been able to find replacement parts for those they chewed up but its still irritating.  

Every time I work on someone's gun I'm paranoid about not marking up the parts and using padding and such between any wrench I have to use and bare metal.  Why they can't do the same I have no idea.

At least they fixed the issue with the gun although they never said what it was.  I really wanted to know as I had torn everything down, tuned everything, replaced all the o-rings, re-lubed everything, replaced the solenoid and tried using two different boards both, of which I knew worked and it still wouldn't fire.  I've never seen anything like it.

Well, I guess I'll throw mine into the ring since I've gotten all my parts and such in.  Specs are listed below the picture.



Other side



Picture with the other barrels and grips.  Still not sure which grips I like better.



And finally the specs:

 2K3 Vision Impulse IMP032608 - Morrigan's Talon


Body Milled and re-annoed by Elia Paintball Machining   -- Strange Like Milling 2, Tube Rounding and re-anno'd gloss black
Blackheart Board -- also have a WAS Board I sometimes switch out for
Adrenaline Products A. I. Grip Frame
Shocktech Supa-fly bolt
Black Freak & All-American Back, Red Freak Back, 14" Red AA Front, 12" Red Freak Front & 12' Black Freak Front w/ all inserts --also have an Evil Driver Barrel
Custom Products Shorty Regulator
New Designz 150 Vertical Adapter
Double Sided Tapeworm
Smarts Parts 0-300 psi Low Pressure Guage
Adrenaline Single Trigger
Stinger Paintball Designs Boondock Saints Shepherds For Thee Grips -- also have Aquitas and Veritas grips with red text instead of the normal white
New Designz Ram Assembly
New Designz Slik Shot
New Designz Back Cap
SS Rat Hole Hammer
New Designz Rip Valve
New Designz LPR Kit w/ High Volume Valve Cap
New Designz EZ-Turn On/Off, Micro-Rail Combo w/Air Bleed-Off
New Designz Vision Ball Detents
New Designz Flame Eye Cover
New Designz Talon Snatch Grip
New Designz Twister Feedneck
Smart Parts Quick Snap Grip Screws
Kila Colored ASA Screw Plugs (black)
Red and Black Frame Screws
Custom Decals from 187 Paintball

The red Freak Back, and the red Adrenaline Stick Trigger were painted by me using automotive paints designed for metal and to simulate annodizing.  They were sanded down to bare metal, had three coats of Dupli-Color Metalcast Ground Coat applied, three coats of Dupli-Color Metalcast Red applied and finally 3 coats of a triple thick crystal clear glaze sealer applied.  They actually turned out quite well and the paint looks like anno and is very durable.

The only things that haven't been modified or upgraded are the Solenoid and Pressure Relief Valve.

Total weight with barrel and everything is 2 lbs 6 oz, pretty light for an impulse.  The internals are 1166 grains.

Nice looking Imp...its it just me or does the lpr and front cap not match up flush?? Appears to be a gap around the back of the lpr. And it bothers me when the hose is loose on the lpr and offset. I like it straight on with the lpr nipple with just enough house to make it snug...But those are just my obsessions. It is a nice setup though! Those pics dont do the milling any justice.

I had my GoPro all set up to play this weekend mounted on my mask and barrel but we got a bunch of snow and rain so I never went. Now I must wait until The place opens full time again.

14th - nice marker.  love the color combo.  BlacknRed Cool
GoPro's are bulky.  Get a Contour.  Much tighter to your mask.  And for everyone's sake, get one that does 720p / 60 fps.  You can't tell the difference between 1080 and 720, but sure can tell 30 from 60 fps for any action sport like paintball or skiing.
You can see some of my footage on Youtube by searching mouthymimes.  You'll see my fingers twitching on a few Imps there.  We have four cameras on the team so it isn't all me, but you Impers will be able to tell when I'm shootin'.
