Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
Really? Well I've gotta go visit your neck of the woods sometime...
There are one or two players at AWA who just don't give up, and some of the stories that go around you wouldn't believe... and in fact I don't :p

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
where i paly they are really strict
if you are caught taking a sniper shot (over 350 fps) at someone within twenty metres your never allowed to snipe again
i came close to it once but it once , maybe a 25 metre shot

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
Ah, we have a strict 360 fps limit. That's after variations are taken into account
Doesn't matter to me though, my M14 chrono's at 349 +/-2fps at worst
Edit:
That's 360 fps for everything, bolties included. Small rumors that go around the younger players say that site members are allowed 500fps bolt actions, and 400fps Semi auto's but I'll have to become a member to verify that one :D

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
this is on a bolt action so its allowed the extra
semi snipers are 370 i think with the engagement distance
three times ive been to skirmish with an aeg and its been too hot by about 5 fps

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
I've never had that happen to me yet, but I'm going to be doing alot more gearbox work this year so I've started to build myself a chronograph as a side project
And I wish I had a minimum engagement distance instead of the same fps as every other AEG

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
id hate to have an engagement distance on an AEG, you dont get much more fps and you cant shoot for the first 20m
would be better (in my case) to have 20 less fps and be able to use fullauto bursts too

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
I would say that but I'd rather set myself up with an airbrake piston mod and be a bit more silent :p
I don't like full auto on M14's but that's more personal choice anyway :D
Unless it's a 'nam style M14, which then it's ok!

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
Snipers do have a good part to play in a skirmish, as long as there are not silly amounts of them in a game, nothing worse than 30 a side and half the team sniping, a few in both teams adds to the game in my opinion, especially if they are good at it, makes you think a bit more.

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
had some of the funnest times airsoft going out with the rest of my team all with different roles, CQB (gas 5 shot shotty and p90), standard (m4 i think it was), DM (upgraded m14), heavy gunner (cant remember what gun) and myself sniping with my upgraded gspec. we stayed as a group and didn't split and however odd the combo it actually worked really really well, we went through CQB areas, to woodland, to upstiars buildings to open ground and was such great fun!

That's a good squad combo add a grenadier and you got a airsoft a-team, a DM and sniper to provide long range cover in two seperate directions is a near surefire way to stop or slow potential flankers whilst allowing the blitzkriegers to charge up forward not having to watch the rear as much, if you haven't already use 15-25m leap frogging tactics and you'll be on the enemy in seconds.
Peace out

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
new to this forum so hey guys, im personally going to purchase a sniper just for the experience, (used a cheap l96 the first time i went and loved it) only issue is i dont know which to buy. i myself have an AEG that can outshoot most others on my sight however i feel it doesnt quite cut it for me.
any recomendations for which sniper to look into?
(i know this is slightly off topic)
looked at a Mauser SR Pro rather than the l96. prefer that pistol grip
They say that the best weapon is the one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how Dad did it, that's how America does it, and it's worked out pretty well so far
