money vs. performance...

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   ok, I have an a5 and I play a mixture of speedball and woodsball (mainly 

woods) and I've been looking for an accurate paint/barrel match. I shoot a 

variety of different paints (you see, in maine, it isn't paintball capital of 

the world, we take what we can find) and this leads to different bore 

sizes, the mainly between .687 and .689 

Naturally I was leaning towards getting a kit. I have an 8" lapco bigshot 

and like it a lot. I would like a 12" version as well. However, when I get the 

smaller .687 paint, it doesn't work as well. 

Being a fan of lapco, I'm leaning towards the snapshot. I've read nothing 

but good reviews about it.

By itself, the snapshot is around $60 at county paintball, a mighty fine 

deal. The kit all together is around $215.

My question is: Is the snapshot's performance worth the extra money for 

the kit, which also includes the .693 back, or would a 12" bigshot and a 

12" autospirit be enough to tide me over?

The other option would be to buy the snapshot, then go to lapco direct 

and get the .687 back around $50.

thanks for your help!

	I'd get the Snapshot, and according backs. Don't go spending $ on the whole kit if you're only going to use a couple backs.

	Great, I was leaning towards that, but it always feels better to have a 2nd opinion Thanks
