Allen Paintball Products Snapp pods

[silentdeath55]

I have been looking at the Snapp pods for a while and dont know whether or not to take a chance on buying them. Anyone here ever use them? Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Ive also been thinkin about gettin em. I wonder if you can load that much quicker with them , enough to make it cost effective.

[Wc Keep]

ive used them. they were really good pods. didnt make loading that much faster but easier.

[silentdeath55]

What about the Snapp harness? Anyone ever use that thing. I cant find a good pic of it.

[Kevmaster]

never seen or heard of the "snapp harness' but i got 3-4 pods at the IAO last year (yeh freebies) and i couldnt get them to work consistantly...never got it to line up right nad it was NEVER faster than the old style of flip the lid and toss

[BlackVCG]

DYE has push-button pods that should be coming out soon. Still haven't seen them anywhere, though.

[Frank (the spank)]

Dye has had those push button pods "coming soon" for 6 months now...

I bet they're gold lined and come in real furr covers.

[JT2002]

where can you find the snap pods?

[silentdeath55]

the allen paintball site has the for like 6.95 a piece

www.allenpaintball.com

Or, the cheapest i've seen them for is at www.xpaintball.com

the more you buy there, the cheaper they are.

I got mine from xpaintball.com and they were only 5 or 6 dollars.
Mine work good, I really like them. I don't use them how you're "supposed" to, however. There's a little indentation in the cap that is supposed to catch the lip of your loader and pull the cap open.
What I do is put this fin that's on the cap and put it into the hinge of my Halo - this is much easier to catch and it opens the loader right up.
So, it really depends on what kind of loader you have, if you can catch something on the cap of the snapp loader reliably - I think they work great with Halo's.

LOL 6.95 a pod I got my normal Toxic Performance Lid pods for $1 at IAO. They are nice pods but $5-7 a pod is a waist of money.

I've been using them for about a year. Almost since the day they came out if I remember right. Using them with my rico was a bit different at first, much like with a Halo you need to put the catch at the hopper's hinge and pull back to you. They don't drop paint any faster though, just open quick and with out looking.

The SNAPP pack was just a specially designed pack to hold them. The first batch of loaders had flat bottoms and the pack fits them better than most others. It's not an issue since they started rounding off the bottoms. In fact since then they stopped making the packs altogether.

I have a 4+1 pack that I can grab some pics of if you'd like.

[JT2002]

yes please pics, and pics of the pod too

[muirtach]

It'll have to wait until tomorrow I'm at work until 10pm PDT.

[JT2002]

ok lol, work while at AO , works together nicely. :D
so what do u do that u get to go work and play AO at the same time? :rolleyes: :D

I work at a Community Acces TV Station. I'm currently doing some network work that I can easily do from my desk.

I've been using snappods for a year and lovethem. And they are faster if you know the trick.

I use a jt slam pack, so I position the pods facing left. The pods have a ridge running the length of the pod. Put the ridge down. When I reach back, I reach with my palm facing back, and grap the pod so the ridge is in the nuckel part of my fingers. now when you come up, you catch the mouth of the hopper with the ridge on the top ot the pod and push. the pod spills the balls in the hopper and never drops one. Partial hopper fills are great and you never spill a ball.

Try them , you'll love them. they are the only pod I use.

put a piece of tape over the rubberband, so it doewn't come off.

[muirtach]

just the top of the pod

[muirtach]

the two different body styles. the flat bottoms are the old ones

[muirtach]

open pod

[muirtach]

using with a rico, works much the same on a halo. revys go forwardnot back

[muirtach]

and the oh-so special super-dooper snapp pack
