Looking for advice on next gun!

[Utrinque Paratus]

Ok, I'm the kind of person who likes everything planned out. Now, I'm getting an L119A1 soon, but a few months after that, what should I get? I've had (in this order):
-JG AK47 Beta Spetznaz
-JG MP5A2
-Classic Army M15A4 SPC

I'm soon to get the C8, but I want to try something different. I don't know whether I'd like sniping, but I'm willing to try it if you think it would suit me. I tend to enjoy escort and defending missions the most, with assaulting ones the least. I very much enjoy a good recon game though, my favourite part of airsoft is tracking someone through the woods! I don't really want to get a gas rifle though. If you have any suggestions your input would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Re: Looking for advice on next gun!

From what I gather you seem to prefer stealth tactics as oppose to an all out assualt.

I would therefore recommend a nice quiet AEG, an TM M14 springs to mind, with a TM MK23 as backup.

Or, if you like the idea of a sniping route, go for the TM VSR-10 Gspec. One of the quietest rifles to date and very upgradable if you take a fancy to it.

Just throwing out some ideas, hope it helps.

I think everyone gets sick of the assualt/defend games after a while! Alright as a warm-up game though I guess..

Anyway, back on track. You've been playing a while and would like to give Sniping/stalking/marksmanship a go, how about a semi-auto rifle, like a M14? That would be my choice if i was going to take that direction anywho.

Thanks, an M14 sounds like an interesting idea. Do they get tiresome to lug around all day?

Re: Looking for advice on next gun!

It depends how strong yuou are and what you're used to. I myself am 6ft but pretty weedy. However, I am used to lugging around my M99 so an M14 is much easier in comparison.

However if you are used to using an Mp5 or Mp7, it's a step up. It doesn't weigh a ton, but it's not the lightest AEG out there.

maby try the m14 socom? or if your looking for a light gun, vsr gspecs are increadibly light, i personaly enjoy exactly the same as what you described in airsoft, the whole sneaky aproach, and found that a well silenced gspec and a mk23 socom with silencer attached worked a dream, they are both very light, and all you need is a few spare mags, so moving fast and quiet is very easy

AK BETA SPETZNAZ FOR THE WIN!!!!!

i've owned 4... maybe 5, well one was a krinkov.

they be awsome, both the JG and TM versions, i don't like the small mags, other than that they rule, and you know if you search google you'll find a CYMA spetznaz in full metal and a very nice wood kit full stock.

the beta with the underfolding stock is great also, folds up nicely and you can use it as a back up to your sniping, or unfold the stock and it holds up well as a primary AEG. if using it as a back up the mini mags suit it perfectly as they're small, but still pack 250 rds.

as usual, i back the ak option.

How about an SR-25?

Or an SL9?

They might still be quite heavy, but theyre good semi-auto snipers too. Good for stalking/recon. Tried it myself with a slightly upgraded A&K SR-25 and it was awesome!

Get head and shoulders ghillie too! Gives you a little bit more camo if youre trying to look over at things without emcumbering you like a full suit.
