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! |

Only barrel that is going to give you more distance is the Flatline. End of story. ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom 14" J&J Ceramic Q-Loader Lapco Direct Feedneck Dye Sticky Grips 20oz w/ on/off valve coiled remote line JT Spectra 260 Thermals JT Tatical Gloves Olive Green Flight Suit |

^^^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. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

| 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 ------------- http://www.freewebs.com/outlawspaintball/index.htm - Outlaws *Sponsors* http://www.abrika.ca - Abrika |
