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

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