Re: How many BB's used at a skirmish for a sniper?

i used about 75 on sunday but im currently using a mates c**p warrior l96 which has inconsistant accuracy so i should halve that ammount when i got new gun.
I dont carry a sidearm at the moment (glock is messing about) so i rely on camo, i stuffed my webtex concealment vest with ferns and laid flat in some shallow ferns, next thing 4 of the opposing team walk by 1 of which actually stepped over my barrel then when they had reached just over minimum engagement distance i proceeded to take them out so a sidearm isnt a neccesity.

Might have to get a gun cam

I'd say around 300 at the most :D

If you're rifle can hit accurstely at about 80m, then I shouldn't think you would go above 500. And as you have no sidearm you would use any up for close encounters either, just remember to sneak your way out, don't jump up and run!

I know nothing about fieldcraft and all that tosh... When I use my boltie I've never exceed a speedloader full in one day.

Least I have used is about 75.

33 shots? In one day? That sounds like a horrifically boring day. Don't you get lonely?

no i take tea with me :D

but now im pimping an SBS at 30rd per seconds, bb's are expensive lol

If you can afford it, it's good to have an AEG with a sniper rifle too. Then you can go round with your AEG and when you find a suitable sniper spot just whack it out and take a few shots!

you dont want to forget about your pistol,

or a small SMG as some people do carry on of these with their rifles sometimes.

Depending on conditions like wind and field of view but I'd say about 100bb's per game but more if I use the RS SVD cause I'm double tapping to make sure!!

My local site will not let anyone go in with a sniper rifle without having a side arm / backup as well
