Latest update on my Alpha Sniper version

So here it is guy, my Alpha Black (sorry for the crappy quality of the pics, my camera is dying on me) with the original handguard back on, because I wanted a free floating handguard and the only one right now is the stock one.

I changed the handguard because I got myself the latest Hammerhead barrel kit. The Bangstikx 16 inches (a.k.a Straight line) and with the different backs and I wanted a free floating handguard, for ease of backs switching.

So it give the Alpha more of a Sniper look. The barrel shoots fine but I am not overly impressed so far (but I used it only twice so far and I am missing the best back suited for the balls were I play, the .688 they are B/O on it right now). It has about the same accuracy as a Lapco but has more range. There is really a spin effect involve on the ball and you need good paint otherwise, the pattern grouping is awfull. You need a high quality paint because those ball have a denser fill inside and the ball is rounder, so the spin effect of the barrel, doesn't make the ball curve left or right because of a bad shape or poor fill, it has nothing to do with ball breakage because I did not chopped a single ball so far.

I also added a X2 Red dot wich works great, it gives just a little zoom, not too much. Also added a picatinny rail underneath the handguard and another picatinny mounting on top for the taclight and laser.

Yes it is a black tie-wrap as simple as that, it's to attach my 3 point sling.

I don't have any future plan other than changing the free floating handguard if one day Tippmann comes up with some new ones, because there is hardly anything else that I can ad on this one. I already have all this on it: 

- X2 Red dot Red/Green illumination

- Red laser

- Tactical light

- Vertical grip /bipod

- 3 points sling and cheekpad plus butt pad (those last 2 are more cosmetic than anything else)

It seems that you didn't get that it was a vertical grip in the first place and a bipod as a bonus. And no you are right it is not as nice looking as a stand alone bipod but it is a hell of alot more usefull in games than a bipod! I've been tempted to get one just to simplify setting my marker down between games.

TBH that's the purpose of it 90% of the time. It's hidden 99% of the time so 99% of the time it looks like a regular vertical grip.

Xtreme...if you don't like it man, just simply move on It's only a grip/bipod afterall, a bit pointless to just mention in a post: "Meh it's ugly I don't like". It leads the conversasion nowhere!
