I did'nt actually think of that one. I'mm gonna go get some sheet metal soon and do this.

I know Engler does that with many of his Tippmanns. Have you seen his stocks or Tacamos stocks?

Btw, not to burst your bubble, but 20'' barrels dont shoot any farther than 12'' or 14'' barrels

I'm fairly sure that is how all the stocks for the A-5 are made. I don't see why they couldn't do the same for the 98C's. Just sell the stocks with longer bolts and that should do it.

Okay. Here we go. Now, I should inform you, and please read and think about what I have to say (as I'll probably be one of the nicer ones to say it), that "sniping" in paintball is not a valid role. In fact, it could hurt your team greatly.

Here's why.

• To be an effective sniper, you need to be able to accurately pick off high-value targets (HVTs) beyond the effective range of cover fire. Paintball guns, no matter the barrel length, shoot the same distance (excluding the Flatline/Apex) so there goes that.
• What about accuracy? Accuracy is not in the barrel, though it does help. It's paint to barrel match, and having a longer barrel can be problematic. For standard markers with a poppet valve, longer barrels actually decrease efficiency. You don't need anything longer than 14", and everything past that in no way helps your gain.
• The Flatline or Apex cannot be used to snipe because at the ranges they can achieve, accuracy is deminished, reducing your chances of getting out of there in one piece by taking out your target in one shot.
• What about the "definition?" You know, the one that says sniping is just hiding and shooting people from a concealed location? Well, I'd like to point out that this is what EVERY woodsballer should be trying to do. This is not truely sniping.
• But SpecOps says...: Hate to break it to ya, but they are a company. They are trying to make money. They created many of these positions to sell more gear, not to be your friend. That definately doesn't mean all the positions they created are bad. It's just one can't really snipe.
• What about being silent and sneaking up on people? At the ranges paintball is played, no person, even with an illegal silencer on his marker, can be quiet enough to be that sneaky all the time in paintball. Sure, you can get lucky, but probably not all the time.

Now how is being a sniper bad for your team? It takes you out of the game. If you are camping in a spot, you are essentially hoping someone will walk by. This is a LOT LESS effective than hunting for your enemy and supporting your team, and decreases the likeliness of you getting an elimination (not kill...).

Also, I'd like to point out, even if you could effectively snipe in paintball, your .50 cal idea would be overly bulky, making it even more inefficient.

Sorry for being off topic, but Carl, I seriously hate your sig.

I went to the kitchen, got a napkin, and tried to wipe my computer screen with it, until I realized IT WAS FAKE!
