    Posted: 20 September 2005 at 1:28am
I own a Tippmann A-5 and have been using a LAPCO Bigshot 14inch for about a week. At first, I thought the improvement was vest; however I'm wanting more for range.

A teammate has the FlatLine and the accuracy is hit and miss. I was wondering if a LAPCO SnapShot 14 or 18 inch would show much of an improvement. I know the bigshot is more accurate, however I hate lobbing balls to fire longer distances.

Thanks alot guys!

^^^Or the Apex. So no, the Snapshot wouldn't give you more range than the Bigshot. You're either going to have to get the Flatty or Apex for more distance.

Thanks for the replies. Are their any major improvements in selling my Bigshot and buying a snapshot?

i would say stick to what you got...and if you really want an upgrade either go Dye Ultralight or Smart Parts Freak/AA combo, you decide which combo you like better
