Re: L96

Spring version about £120 Ive just spent about £80 extra now fires 500fps

Re: L96

Nice, the place i skirmish only allows up to 500fps for snipers.Im thinking of getting my own gun and the L96 looks like a good option. Thanks

Re: L96

i once had an l96 it was quite heavy but nice range and power to it..... a lighter sniper rifle would be the tm vsr10 good power and range I have a vsr with a m100 inside it

Re: L96

Yeah I've heard it's heavy. I won't be running around with it or anything I would just be at the back of the forest. Once I get a good spring L96 with bipod, scope, 2 mags and decent sling, I will buy a pistol for close up shootin'

Re: L96

depends if your gun is going to be two tone or not.
wear normal camo's and just get a olive drab neck scarf (google shemagh)
if it is two tone id do the same and wrap 1 around your gun each time you go to the site.
If not then paint it up i don't know much about the UKARA so someone else hopefully will guide you and me if this bit is wrong.
If it is two-tone you could paint it but i'm under the impression you might get in some trouble if your caught without a UKARA number with a NON two tone rifle outside the site e.g on way home......

Re: L96

Id seriously re consider about buying a 500 fps sniper rifle and research before you do anything.

Re: L96

My gun would need to be two-tone (I'm 15 nearly 16 and not UKARA registered) and yeah I will do alot of research

Re: L96

I (and others on this forum) don't recommend getting yourself a sniper for your first gun. Sniping in airsoft isn't like 'COD' and on most snipers (even the more up-market ones) you need to upgrade them first before they will shoot accuratley and consistantly. I would recommend an AEG and go for the JG G36c Hope this is helpful mate.

Re: L96

Yeah cheers, that is helpful. I do like the look of the G36 actually, but the sniping aspect seems interesting. I've got a long time to decide anyway
