not being funny, you operate at the same fps more or less and still shoot at the same range!! Id rather be spraying on full auto than firing 1 shot 1 miss bullets to be honest! haha
this is twollop, lol
are site is limited to 360MAX,
my aps fires a 359.8 highest recored, (and then i still use .25's and .29's so even lower fps), my m16 fires at 350fps, and the aps flys about 20yards further, and the aps has a shorter barrel
i have just enough fun, crawling around and firing 5 shots a day,
but booby traps are where its at, iv started to make/collect claymore lol
its all about hiding, and steady shot, and know your range, wait for them to come into range, and pop! job done
now im a big chap, 6tf 3" 20stone,
now in a game, blood pumping, try and find me
by the time you see me, your allready hit, via my pistol

Well my 2 cents are that over here in northern Ireland all airsoft rifles are
Only site legal at 328 fps so there is no point at all in buying/using a sniper. Well it's a shame IMO because there is a cheytac intervention 3 barrets and a few dragunovs too but all are totally uselss
Oh, thats got to burn!

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
Ive played to roll of a sniper for some 14 years now and having owned almost every type of airsoft bolt action going (apart from a asahi wa2000 and L96 and a couple of silly m82) i can say its more fullfilling that any aeg roll in my eyes ,its rare now i bother with opendays two reason tbh
Firstly the level of openday player (not all but mostly hire gunners ) dont offer a challenge on many times i might shoot the first in a group and instead of the rest taking cover they normally laugh and point until the second round lands ,its almost as if you can see the cogs working " hang on hes been hit , they guy next to hims been hit oh s**t i best "HIT" "
Secondly most open days only offer perhaps a longer game in the afternoon 2-3 hours if our lucky at the sites near me ,not really enough time to get your teeth into a game
For anyone who has played at Catterick /Copehill / Sennybridge , there are key buildings namely at Catterick that if a well deployed sniper team can get into they can deney a very large area of the site ,this we have done time and time again , not only with eyes on certain buildings to deploy players into or around to counter and opfor ,but the fact that from these buildings as well a GOOD player (i aint using the term sniper as that may lead people to delusions of grandour ) can reach out and stopp opfor progressing through the site ,
Taking time to think before movement or any action is why i play this role ,better this than honking a 249 around with 2000 rounds hoping to muller someone /thing with few 100 bbs
That one placed round centre mass at 80 metres beit one round fired all day or 20 makes it all the while worth it

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
This is very right!
key to winning is team work, and good communication, with or with out a sniper
A good sniper might help you, but you still need all these things to win... It's like saying one experienced medic will allow you to win. He might help, but without teamwork he is useless!

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
But if the sniper is good he'll watch and take out medics, commanders. or just players which seem more organized leaving an unorganized group. but the key to winning is team work, and good communication, with or with out a sniper

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
I don't know how people are saying if there is one good sniper on your team you can easily win. Maybe for smaller games, but when there's 80 or so people, one sniper, even if it's bloody Simo Hayha, isn't gonna help that much. Simply the weight of fire put down by AEG people and also if they know how to use cover can overwhelm the most dug in sniper in my opinion!

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
im a good sniper, and generaly hated, good snipers can make all the difference in teams, but a bad team with a good sniper is pretty useless. At the end of the day if you have a good team together with atleast one good sniper then your sound for a win. We had a game where we put all the snipers on one team and they totaly held back the attacking palyers for ages!

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
i love and hate them, i've got a few mates who snipe, and i know they're brilliant, they know it too
i enjoy being on the same side as them (mostly because their weapons are not inflicting damage on me)
when i'm against them, they always seem to go for me, and get the tip of my nose, making me look like rudolf for an hour or two

Let anyone play how they want. If they feel like wearing Ali g's camo, let them. Its their day, their game, their money. As long as when they get hit they take it, i couldn't care less.

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
I bought my first airsoft sniper rifle after about 4 years of playing last summer.
I appreciate that it really doesn't help you get out of sticky situations but more often than not I have found that my team mate is more than capable of killing those too close/ finding a route out of trouble.
For me, having to be careful of my individual shots and adjusting at long distance is more rewarding than getting alot more kills and dying alot more in a day.
To have twice the effective range of AEGs can really make the difference too, you can sit 5-10m out of their effective accuracy range and be sure that you can hit them within a few shots.
Ultimatley you have to understand that some people just like having a sniper rifle, if they obey minimum contact ranges then what they do with their rifles and game day is up to you, they're having fun and you're clearly not if you get wound up by how they play

Re: Snipers, love us or hate us?
I have pretty much always played with a bolt action, I love the simplicity of the Rifle. I owned an AEG and it seemed like voodoo inside it. From field target shooting the action seemed familiar.
I don't get a lot of kills and dont think i am some uber leet sniper. I just really enjoy the kills i get.
Regardless of your set up sniping is always a disadvantage. But year of staring at every BB i have ever fired means if i fire a shot. It has a good chance of hitting
