Hey, I have been intersted in airsoft for a couple of months now, but as im broke i cant afford and equipment. But i am saving and was wondering what is the main difference between gas, battery and spring rifles (I am hoping to get a sniper rifle), other than the obvious haha :rolleyes:.

Oh and any other information would be much apriciated! Thanks in advance.......

Ps. Please excuse my grammer.

And, from my experience, do not get a spring sniper. They are more realistic etc etc, but no matter ho waccurate you are with 1 shot every 4-5 seconds, a person with an M14 electric sniper can get many many many more pellets fired in your direction before you reload.

Just my opinion

4-5 seconds to chamber a round in a spring rifle?
I must be on speed...

1 second - make sure you hit him, but he didnt feel it
2 seconds - relaod stealthily so they don't hear you
1 second - aim at an exposed part of their body, to ensure they feel it
1 second - shoot

optional 1 second, duck back down so they never knew you were there

Spring Sniper = more silent than AEG sniper...which helps a sniper stay hidden

Except, I hit a sweet spot, everytime.

when sniping its not about take them out when ya first see them. sometimes your best bet is let them THINK they are safe and no one is around and ass they pass take em out be sneaky stealthy. theres loads of factors to be a good sniper. when sniping ya need to think the three S's which are shape,shadow and silouet.

and as for saying to get an electric sniper rifle i use a spring rifle and ask the guys i play with or my team they will tell ya its quick not 4-5 seconds to load the next round. Andy (A.S.C) Airsoft Sniper Club.

fair enough. I bow to the superior marksman

Leftyflip

Only aim for what you can hit, if you're in doubt of a shot, don't bother. That's my theory anyway...

andy_g

thats a fair point lefty and it does work if their out of your range your technically out of your range

Leftyflip

I meant as in angles and wind factors, face it we've all done it. Thought we had a shot when the angle was off slightly, right? We have all done it?

Drachnien

the one that annoyed me is when theres a different wind where your shooting from to where your shooting to .... theres no real way to account for it. You just watch the shot sail straight past the target
