.3's will have a better range than .2's because they're less affected by external factors like wind because they have more momentum than .2's

I believe momentum stays the same. Momentum= speed x mass so the momentum will be the same because the speed (i.e fps) on a .2g pellet (for example) will make up for its lower weight in comparison to a .3

FPS dependant of course.

Remember just because the fps is lower with the heavier bb, doesnt mean its not as powerful, it will actually more powerful(joules) just slower speed(fps)

If you fire a .3g bb with spring X, and fire a .2g bb with same spring X, they will have EXACTLY the same power in joules. Range is slightly decreased, but the heavier BB will be more stable in flight, as well as MAINTAIN its power over a longer distance (for more of a "thwack" at the end!)

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?

Like a lot of you are saying, Im all for snipers and even quite fancy it myself but its only a good thing when the person doing it isnt a fuckin idiot. More than a couple of times Ive been slammed at close range by someone with a 450+ rifle and its then that it becomes an issue for me. I never like to get annoyed by being shot, its part of the fun but in situations like that (especially when its not the first time youve had to say to them they are a bit close) its hard not to get seriously fucked off.
As I said, really like some of the bolt action snipers that are about and when in the right hands can be really useful. Its just these guys are very few and far between in my experience.

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?

I think a good sniper, who correctly fills the role can be a fantastic addition to a team. But only a proper one. I've met noobs who have no idea and honestly believe that hanging back and taking impossible pot shots with no experience is the way to go. i've met one bloke who was an actual sniper at a game and i didn't know he was there till he said hello haha.

However...i think snipers are brilliant when you get the drop of them, last time i was at GZ woodland i managed to sneak up behind one and pop him and the sheer disgust and disappointment was brilliant. Now im normally a damn good sport and dont agree with annoying unnecessarily is pointless. But sometimes...its just too damn hard to pass up lol

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?

I feel aslong as a 'Sniper' can play a recon role its brilliant especially when he's out front spotting, and not having a sniper rifle myself i'm always quite intrigued ! ! !

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?

The only bad thing about being a dedicated Sniper for me; is that fact that occasionally you get little Cod Kids running up to you and asking you to "take that guy out with your 'sniper' ". When he is about 150 Meters away!

ahh very true! get this all the time and then get some kid having a row at me for not having the range of 10 miles on my Vsr.

At least there are those who actually ask me first "hows the range on that?" before telling me to shoot E.T's nipple from the planet of endor.

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?

i find the they go around the same distance, but the fly a lot better, where as the .20 wave all over the place

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?

are site is limited to 360MAX,
my aps fires a 359.8 highest record, (and then i still use .25's and .29's so even lower fps), l

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?

yesterday at battle lakes their was some pretty good snipers on the yellow team.
i was testing out my warrior l96 and just before lunch for about 15 minuets i was on my own with my l96 and apparently i was stopping about 8 guys advancing even though i could only see 4. and that was awesome until one guy came charging up the bank with full auto and my pistol failed .
two of the guys came and congratulated me after that and that was the highlight of my day.

I love it when that happens.

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?

Well at my local site I've met a few snipers that were really good , the were really good at recon and at hiding but some were all up them selves especially
This one kid who had only been this 1 time and thought he was amazing (he was rubbish) couldnt hit at thing, but then again I've got to admit having one on your team is really good they can help a lot just depends on the person looking down the scope.
