Are those the ready-bodies ones where you can see the spring inside?

Personally, I like the Azooms for rugged durability. That primer will last you a thousand years.

The only downfall they have is that they are very hard to find if you lose them in the grass. The dark body is nice, but try finding that dark brown thing in the shadows of the training field!

Better than the Azoom, imnsho, is the SafTAction sc. They use a cleaned and sized casing and fill it with a bright orange bullet and primer. The primers suck for cushioning the firing pin, but you won't lose those things when doing drills. They really stick out.

Both are expensive, but they last a very long time.

A Much cheaper alternative to the manufactured snap caps is to make 'em yourself. If you have access to reloading equipment ( or know somebody who does), just size some cases, load a dummy bullet (not necessary, but will look like a SafTAction model), and cut a piece of pencil eraser to fit in the primer pocket and sit level with the case head.

These will last quite a while, and the eraser piece can be replaced indefinitely.

I have used armspots snapcaps (the red ones ) I've had them for years and have had no problems.
