what should i do to make a paintball sniper?
hello everybody, i currently own an upped ion with a bunch of after market stuff in it and an old Tippmann 98. i've been looking at buying or converting one of my guns into a sniper rifle. i really like the spec ops longbow, but it has been discontinued. i like how it has no hopper on the top and has a stock. i currently have a freak barrel and might just buy a 20" tactical front for it but would prefer to have a devoted sniper. if someone could tell me where to get some awesome sniping stuff for the Tippmann (eg. barrel, stock, and special hopper) that would be awesome. anywhere they are selling a longbow or blackcell kitwould rock to.
Snipe? good luck with that. Paintball markers are not accurate enough to snipe with. Nor do they shoot far enough. A 20" barrel doesn't help it actually slows the ball down. It makes your shots more consistent and accurate at shot distance but with a barrel that long you put to much drag on the ball and your ball will start to drop down a lot sooner and most of the time will not break. There isn't much you can do.
A stock will give you a good hold and brace on your marker so you can have a steady shot.
For tippmann the flatline barrel works great for those longer shots. For all the other markers made the apex barrel works good if it is on a all american or freak barrel.
Special hopper don't really need one because if you are trying to snipe your not going to be shooting that much or fast. A gravity fed loader works fine. If you want you can use a electronic loader like an invert too but its not needed.
The blackcell mod is not made anymore hasn't been made for over a year. You can find some people selling used ones and some new ones on ebay but it is very rear. Longbow is the same thing as blackcell. Im not sure but i think those r not made either.
Tippmanns are good to try and make into a sniper just because there are a lot of mods out there. Another good one is the sp-1. Ion not so much because there are not many mods but it is a good marker and you can try to snipe with it. I have had people do it. Just sniping isn't about trying for those long shots. Its really about stealth and trying to get the guy to get as close as you can without him noticing you. And sniping is really boring. I do it and you wait there for a whole game most of the time and dont shoot a single shot.
