Hands down, the best looking snap I've seen.
Shit yeah, and since looks can kill......wait....
Regardless, anything that stops kids from dropping $250 on a crossbow is a step in the right direction I guess.

And exactly what % of the +bow and Snap owners do you think built their own blasters?
As for crossbows, they have long since ceased to be a status symbol recognized by anyone with whom one might want to share status. Anyone who still believes otherwise probably has a parent that is $250 poorer right now.

Ok, the ACE #62 isn't a good spring for SNAPs. Its too powerful, and has a much smaller length. For guns, you want a longer spring, with a high compression. I have 3 ACE #49 springs in it, an idea that Venom sent me, but i claim because he broke his SNAP. Just kidding, it was Venom's idea. It gives a good compression, while being easier to pull then the one #62, and better ranges. Good spring setup there.Wait, did you ever tell me what spring setup you have? Because I just bought some aluminum rod, and I don't want to use an ACE #62 (or whatever that one is) for power reasons.

Not at all. I thought about that too. Just make a shorter trigger pin.Ok, the ACE #62 isn't a good spring for SNAPs. Its too powerful, and has a much smaller length.

And the springs, having space between them and the plunger rod, don't grate/ touch the catchpin? Because that was my concern when I was looking at making one of these with a +bow spring.

You need to make them better. It pisses me off how much time you put into them, only have them break. Seriously, your SNAP's don't look pretty, so stop trying to make them pretty and just get them to work. Put some Zip ties on it, of a hose clamp or two. Just make em strong.For second, I thought you weren't going to give me any credit for my amazing idea. So, anyone who is building a SNAP, I recommend using either the +bow spring or 3 Ace 49 springs. If your like me or BustaNinja, and your unable to acquire a +bow spring, go with the 49s. Our two SNAPs prove that it works well. By the way Busta, I could have continued to use my SNAP even without it's handle, because that's how I roll.

I hate to admit to dropping it as much as I have. It should be something a treat with care. Not carelessly drop it, but sadly, I have. About all that happens is the barrel pops out... Not anything breaking for anything at all. Im really surprised how strong it is.Very well done. I've had my eye on this since viewing the concept/design thread. When the inevitable writeup comes around, I shall strongly consider building one.
In the pictures, that thing appears sturdy enough to be run over by a car multiple times without damage. Good work.

Wow, finally a home made I want to build:-) looks hell a lot more comfortable than the +bow. You should definitely make a write up of that for everyone. A couple of questions: for someone who has never made a home made gun before, is this difficult? How much do the supplies cost?
