Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?

I voted, I don't mind, for the simple reason that I don't mind.

I must say i was with a fellow forum member on weds and he was on our team sniping he earned the name vassili zaitsev by the end of the day he was getting some cracking kills with his i believe L96.
Even so i think im neither for nor against.
But i do respect the time and effort some of you guys put into those things to get them as accurate as oversize pea shooters can be...lol

We can't have 500fps over here (well i've never heard of a site that allows it lol).

Generally in airsoft i don't really see the need for a sniper at all. Maybe its because all guns here are 330ish fps? Makes a sniper reduntant when you can fire the same distance as him with a pistol lol.

I've never been hit by a sniper and the nightmare for them is tha when they do fire and give away their position, they just get mullered by someone with an aeg.

I'm rather interested to hear your opinions on this. Do you really like to have a sniper on your squad with a 500fps rifle? or would you rather him to have lower powered fully auto weapons etc

discuss :D
