it might possibly help, not much but a little, honestly i feel like limbsavers just trying to cash in on an already crowded paintball aftermarket of useless gimmicks however.... I have a few of there buttstock pads on my carbine Mosin Nagants and my Mossberg 12 gauge and let me assure you these are literally limbsavers, Im a very small guy at just over 5 feet and on a good day a whopping 125 lbs, yep Im a skinny lil sob so those rounds out of the Nagants and the slugs out of the Mossberg throw me like a rag doll, without the pads I dare not shoot them unless I absolutely had to I stand behind the company just from that experience because they work, so quite possibly they are on to something there, doubtful I'll buy it and try it because I have a stock on my gun and its quite stable.... lots of folks say a flatline isn't accurate, not true if your using a stock, guys that hold it 2 handed freely however yes it does get a lil squirly, anyhow my 2 cents on it, probably works but so minimal its not worth the money spent YMMV as always

.....the only time flatlints arnt acurate is when the paitn to bore match is horrible. stocks dont do much for acuracy, actually my stock on my a5 hinders my acuracy. with a mask on and the stock in the way you cant line the sights up, and oyu cant snap for beans, and oyur less mobile. if you cant hold a marker while bracing the tank against urself firmly you need to work out... my done up cocker is really heavy but i can still peg hoppers and such at 60-80ft easily. now how does a stock that is on the back of the gun, keep the barrel, which is on the front of the gun, more stable...

it comes from my rifle shooting, I need something against my shoulder, and although a tank in theory does the same thing, its just in the wrong place, i find Im way more dangerous with a proper stock than trying to cradle a tank, drop forwards might make the overall length of things tighter but it even makes the marker higher off what my sightlines typically like and I can't stand it, different strokes for different folks I guess I have an m4 style stock for my cocker, had it with my original trilogy, kept it when i got rid of that in case I ever got one again, now I have the tactical and I plan to put it on again, but this time Im investigating having a machine shop make a custom piece thats more secure than the bolt guard thats on those guns, its a lil flimsy for attaching the stock which is the way it was sold and intened to attach to but it feels more natural to me, sorry Im just not sold on the whole race gun concept so I go and try and undo that, go figure right

.....lol.... can you really look down the sights with a stock? not with a mask on... the tank is lower and is acutally is in a better place, when against your shoulder the sights align easily...are you actually trying to make your gun go slower by putting hte stock grip on?? ....

ino.... the barrel will obviously move a slight bit, maybe to make the imediatly next shots decrease maybe 2 or 3 inches, but if you think theres recoil to your gun and you need a stock to keep it from going "squirly" either your barrel is made of rubber, or your arms are... ive talked to a friend who put it on his shocker, he says its not a dramatic change as a barrel kit does for acuracy but his shot groupings on me seemed much more acurate(on the recieving end so i understood the change best...all nice and clustered on me for 1 big bruise and not a whole bunch of small welts..) and it was more quiet than usual. even that slight advantage is something worht having, especially at $20.

i never knew something as stupid as a rubber donut could get so many responses...its stupid, all paintball guns...excluding flatlines, shot almost the same distance 1.) it only takes 1 shot to get some1 out 2.) no "snipers" in paintball 3.)if u r "sniping", u dont need this simply because snipers are a "one shot one kill" type this donut is ment for tighter grouping, they need to make a better name for it. NTM its completely stupid in my opinion, especially in speedball. the only thing i could think it would really be useful for is to set your barrel on a rock or something and not scratch the barrel up |

Hey sorry to bump my own old thread but i just got one of these. Its not meant as a counter weight, its the specific denseity and shape of the sniper donut. it does dampen the sound, i find it is hard to hear when others are shooting, which is almost always. the accuracy increase really isnt near as much as say a barrel kit does, but i can see a difference. i put the gun in a vice with and without the donut on, tried it a bit and tried it myself. its like an half inch tighter or so groupings at around 60 ft. at longer ranges it shows little more consistency than without the donut. it doesnt really do anything for single shots but i find burst stay closer. i picked mine up for 3.25, i personally think its worth it, i cant see it getting worn out. it wont give you perfect and quiet shots but a good pick up if you get them cheap.

.... i just found out there are a lot of variables that affect the sniper donut. where you put it on your barrel, what barrel you have, even velocity seems to affect it. i htink it may also have been te weather/ temperature, so it may not be hte best for everyone all the time... find that sweet spot on the barrel and its the best.
