Ideal Sniper Back-up Weapon

[spartacus]

Just a thread to see what different Snipers or DM's use as a back up weapon.

So what do you guys and gals use??

In my eyes is would something like a Scorpion or an MP5K.

I use 2 pistols and a p90 on a one point sling for fast paced action ,

Get yourself a Bandolier of midcaps, fit MAHOOSIVE springs in those badboys and then fill em up with bb's to compress the spring right down.. then.....

Re: Ideal Sniper Back-up Weapon

I used an AK-47- if you wouldnt use it as a primary, why use it as a backup?

Keep in mind im generally regarded as being a crazy before you take this advise- my current sidearm is a sword

Re: Ideal Sniper Back-up Weapon

scorpions are ace

there is a tacvest you can buy that allows you to fit a scorpion on to in a crossdraw holster

then you could wear a ghillie over the top

Re: Ideal Sniper Back-up Weapon

There's a few options.

Glock 18C. Or a 26C or a 23F - any with the auto capability.
MP7 and MP9 offerings
MK.23? - Silent so still keeping a low profile.
Mac11.
MP5K

Or how about an MP5? They're relatively small (around 500mm I think) and can easily be slung on your back. Alternatively on a belt holster, so plenty of options.

Re: Ideal Sniper Back-up Weapon

My primary is as stated a SPR MOD O, then a CA m15a4 CQBR with EoTech as a backup and a western arms 1911 on my leg. It's a slow setup but gets me to a "camp"ing spot.

The beauty of two AR's is I only need one mag type.
