hey guys i need a new gun for snake just tell me what you think is good and dont reccomend the axe cuz i hate it also how is the invasion?

[SamBo]

Whatever feels best in your hands. Personally I really prefer any macrolineless gun. I shoot a g6r and love it

[TK-421]

Whatever marker will put paintballs down range. There is no "snake" marker, it's whatever works best for you.

I think the invert mini is a good low end gun but it is very compact

[TechPB-Mike]

world cup I did the Axe, stock 12" barrel, Z2 and Ninja 68/4500 pro

super tiny setup for snake

[Lotus]

Honestly, I would go spool valve. Mainly just to have a fully enclosed system. A vast majority of the time it makes absolutely zero difference. However, if you're playing paintball that one day where there's a mud puddle in the snake and you need to do work, then having that enclosed system helps. Honestly since I'm no fan of the Proto Reflex Rail, I don't know what I would do. Of the markers I am familiar with I would probably go for a used Geo2, but if you're stuck with new you might consider an Planet Eclipse Etha. I don't have any experience with the Etha so take that with a grain of salt though. If money is no object, I would go with a Geo3. If you're on a budget, I would recommend a used PM8 or a new GoG eXTCy.

with snake it's nice to have an enclosed bolt because with your diving and crawling it's easy to get dirt in your breach if you have a stacked tube. so inline poppets or spools would be my gun for snake. and the invasion is pretty good. with snake you want a tighter setup so a slightly shorter barrel could be a little helpful in that department

[asthmaticrhino]

The tightest setup I can think of for similar prices to the axe,drone dx with a 50/4500 or even a 68 if you want the capacity You could also get a smaller barrel, but i tend to like 14 inches no matter what I'm playing. Also, another reason spools and inlines are good for snake is they are quieter. I've had plenty of situations where Ive been in snake and shot both dorritos out, just because they couldn't hear me shooting over the sound of my friend with an etek
Look at used highend from a couple of years ago if on a budget. If not on as much of a budget, a few people at my field have luxes and they are reaaallly quiet. DMs are also really quiet, and you can pick them up for pretty cheap

My laugh but last time I played snake I shoot a empire Trracer with a 14" lapco bigshot assault, tech t barrel sizer kit. Had a Petrol fore grip/bipod on it. Hopper was a sport shot and tank was a 13ci/3000psi. Worked awesome for me lol.

But seriously there is much hate on this board for the gun But if you can pick one up Cheap used I'd strongly recommend the Dangerouse Power E1. With a few up grades it's the tightest setup I have ever shot. Only thing I have upgraded on mine is I put on a clamping feed neck. If you want it for ramping play then you would also need a different board as stock it's only really semi auto (personally I hate ramping and refuse to use it).

I hope you're kidding.
Personally I go with poppits for anything because of personal preference- get a etek or an ego if you have the money.

Why I actually love my E1. I have had it for over a year now had no issues with it that a bit of lube did not clear up. I play woods ball, speed ball, scenario. It works great for all. And original poster asked for advice on a good small shooter that work good in the snake.

There for I offered my opinion. The E1 is tiny is a great semi auto shooter and stupid simple. Add in the fact that being a dump valve spoolie the bolt and internals are enclosed it works great in the snake were ya can end up with lots of dirt and grime flyin. Can't tell ya how much time I spent crawling in the dirt with that gun in hand.

May I suggest a SAR 12?

to small bro (thats what she said )

[Irish725]

lol cross fielding with a SAR12 makes me lulz.

[TheGuy]

Any gun works for any position. A small, single tube gun might be best though just for a smaller profile.

[MIKEMAN902]

i prefer all spoolie guns with no macroline

[stinkfingr]

whatever gun gives you the smallest profile and yet you feel comfortable with ... you gotta be able to run with it, dive with it, so balance in your grip is important. snake players targets are generally very close, so you can get away with a much shorter barrel, no bigger than 6"... you aren't gonna be shooting all the way downfield, generally just a bunker away. a small tank and short tank reg, and a hopper that is not a monstrosity.

Any gun will work in any position, its what you like. As to people saying a sealed body marker, I think that's great for any position. If its super heavy rain or snow and I'm planning on getting down and dirty, I usually reach for one of my shockers or a marker without holes leading to the internals.
