so the Big Kick Can do everything the Big Shot can do including 6 inch dies? Which is better, Big Shot, Big Kick or ?

The Big Kick opening is slightly narrower (either 1/4 or 1/2 inch narrower) than the Big Shot, but it WILL take a 6 inch die--the platform is about 6.25 inches wide. Otherwise the machines are identical--just a matter of the color you want or the price you are willing to pay. :-)

If you plan on using it for cutting large pieces the 48 is perfect. But I use it for a lot of different stuff and for the extra bucks for the 48 I felt it will be more versatile if I need it. Its like you said they're the same except for the 48 vs 36 .

Yes, you can use just about any die on Big Shot machines. I have the smaller Big Shot and they work great.

Larger is much better. Perforation on all sides is much better, so performance is much better and faster. I love mine!!

The machines are similar in that they use the same dies and embossing folders. What is different is that the Cuttlebug folds up for storage and transport to crops and the big shot does not. If you have room for a larger machine the big shot might be a good option, otherwise the Cuttlebug may suit you better. The Cuttlebug tends to be less expensive, watch for sales on either once you determine which one you want. It's about your preference, and what you can afford.

Not certain, as I have not tried it. My friend that does own the Big Shot, said that you could use the smaller (not thinner) dies in both machines.

Not much difference, I like thumb hole to pistol grip. It is what ever your preference is. If you look closely you will see that the axiom is just a tad bit longer than the ibex. I am 6'4" and found out the ibex could be just a bit longer. No problem you can get extenders. So choose either one, both will be one of the best purchases you have made. Oh one more thing buy the bolt cutter broad heads. People get all caught up in Fps, just practice and shoot, and you are good. 280fps or 330 Fps, at 30 yards the animal is dead in just over one second. I have shot deer for 50 years with gun, bow, muzzle loader, and it is human error, not how fast or how powerful. Practice!

Single load single shot. My grandkids and I love this so nobody has an advantage over another.

It's the exact same press for both, you can purchase dies for any caliber and use with this press.

Revolver or rifle. Same round .45 Colt You may workup a different load for a rifle but it's the same dies. I don't have a rifle.

Yes, it will work with both the Big Kick and the Big Shot. The sandwich configuration (stacked from the bottom up, of course) included with the folder for the Big Kick is: A, base plate, M-Bossabilities folder with paper inserted between two sides of chosen design, then the Big Kick black plate. For the Big Shot, the sandwich configuration is: Big Shot multi-purpose platform, 2 pieces of 65 lb card stock to shim, M-Bossabilities folder with paper inserted between the two sides of chosen design, then the Big Shot cutting plate. Hope this helps. Happy crafting! : )

If your goal is to have a cool gun that is fun to fire but takes some effort (easy for anyone over 80 lbs) then yes. If you want the fastest shooting weapon then just pay for the full auto version. But of the pump action this is the best in my opinion.

I use my Sizzix Big shot. but I believe it is compatible with other systems. You would need some sort of die cut machine.

Crosman Destroyer is a brand of .177 pellets, and this gun is designed for the use of only .177 BBs....You COULD insert a custom steel rifled barrel, and muzzle load pellets that you would have to roll the skirt... AKA no, it's only a BB shooter...But i'd suggest getting the 6" as they are the same price and the bigger one gets better FPS, is more accurate & has a recessed barrel, the 2.5 has a obvious barrel.

mechanical the best for the accuracy. I use spitfire mechanical this will put deer on the ground in a hurry. both 100gr and 125 are great.
