Hey I was just browsing through some gear and I found the most apealing thing to me is the realism of the marker or using a marker like a real gun. I wish to customize my gun to be a sniper but I think bulky C02 tanks and hoppers would make the gun a little hard to aim and stay low-profile. Ive seen spring load clips for paintballs loading ammo like a real gun.. Instead of paintballs I think inside the clip there should be a special C02 tank that fits the clip. There could be a different type of tank for each Tippmann markers custom "clips". Another alternate is instead of in the clip you could put the C02 in the butt of the gun (I've seen this but with a 3oZ disposable tank but it wasnt compadable with any tippman markers...). Please give me some fedback on this and see if my ideas give you any.

Well, if you want a low profile marker as your saying, the best way to do this is using a remote line and a Q Loader. A remote line allows you to put whatever size tank you have into the back of your pack andrun a line up to the air source adapter of your marker, supplying the needed air. A Q Loader is http://www.qloader.com/tippmannpkgs.html - this . Take a look around on that website, so you understand what is is / how it works. It dosen't have a large profile, and you'll be getting a much higher paintball capacity than with any compact clip. Most people wanting to achieve what you want to achieve use these items as it allows you to obviously carry more paintballs and air without having to reload constantly. In reality, although you may want to be a so-called "sniper", chances are on occasion that you will need to fire off a lot of paint to get back to a safer location if most of your team is shot out, and in situations where it could be more benificial to your team to reveal yourself and provide heavy cover fire, and the combination of being able to carry more paint and air with a clip fed system will allow you to do so. Also, just a word of advice: Don't use the word sniper when refering to paintball. Chances are, you will be flamed, due to the resons above and the accuracy of paintballs not allowing you to hit your target with a single shot. Many, if not all of us are attached to the belief that there are not snipers in paintball. -------------

I also suggest the Q-Loader, and remote. Also regardless of what Special Ops Paintball.com will try to sell you,... Snipers do not exist in paintball. ------------- 2005 Freestyle Naughty Dawg Freestyle Angel LCD SP-8 Tippmann 98 Custom |

Like Commander_Cool there is no such thing as a sniper you can play make believe as much as you want but no matter what you say there is no such thing as a sniper. Now as for wanting a low profile you should check out tiberius arms (excuse spelling) because they not only make pistols but they also make larger guns that use a magazine that you can either use 12grams or a remote coil to a larger tank. -------------

well..... if yoou want a sniper style setup, that site is the way to go. They have the AT-16. It's magazine fed, has a 23" barrel (the unisizer design on these barrels make them crazy accurate), a rear mounted HPA bottle, that a stock can slip over. I own an AT-85, and they are insanely accurate. The ATS line is also low profile. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

Show-off. I have always wanted an AT-85. Did you even buy a new barrel? I know you really dont even need one. -------------
