Good beginner gun-AEG or sniper... not sure!

sammypants14

Hi guys this is my first post. I'm getting into airsoft so far I have two guns one spring pistol I got for £10 in England (it's useless) and a singleshot shotgun I got on justbb.ie for €20 (surprisingly good for the money but only a secondary weapon). Now I want to get a proper gun But I dont know weather to get a sniper rifle or an AEG I will be going skirmishing but not that often I'll use my gun mostly for target shooting so was wondering if a sniper rifle would be better for what I was going to be doing with the gun??
If it's an AEG i want an assault rifle (NO SMG- I want a longish range gun) with rails on the gun and it has to come with battery and charger aswell but I dont really want an M4 or M16 because I want something different (but if you have a good M4/M16 I'll think about it). I was thinking about an AUG, FAMAS, L85A2, SCAR, G36 or HK 416. I might do some upgrading to my gun aswell. Gun must be in good cond.
i don't know much about snipers but if you have a nice one in good cond. with a scope I'd consider it.
I will pay up to €150 for the gun and I want to collect the gun so I can see it. I'm based in Limerick but will be in Dublin in a few weeks.
Thanks for the help (:

looks nice but why is it such a low power??

AirsoftLover90

I believe thats the normal fps for a raider out of the box.

What power would you be looking at for a gun??

sammypants14

I thought it would be around 310-328 fps.... does it make a difference? I'm new to all this

DeBurca

Have a look see what you think
It has a 3x times magnification scope built into the top rail

sammypants14

What kind of price were you thinking? Looks very nice

DeBurca

I could do €165 with battery and charger if you could meet around the Limerick area

sammypants14

How about €150? yours seems the best offer so far! I can meet in Limerick but not for a 2/3 weeks as I will be on holiday. how many fps is it btw? Really lke the look of your gun.

It shooting 308-315fps with 0.2g BB
I can do €150 without a battery & charger or €165 with battery and charger included

sammypants14

Will probably be able to take that offer. however will not be able to buy it for 2/3 weeks as I will be away but I will pm you at a later date.

How much is it and how would it compare to an aeg in range and accuracy? I can pay a maximum of €150.

Airsoft_Al

i have an asg aw.308 sniper rifle basicly an l96 selling for 130 if your interestedits on my thread : http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056709020

synesthesia

we can talk price for sure.

you can read about the SVD : http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056190256

how does it compare with and AEG ? well it is a springer so no battery or charger needed ... but you have to reload between shots ... proper sniper

sammypants14

I understand that you have to cock the spring after each shot but how does the accuracy and range compare to an AEG. The guy in the airsoft shop in limerick said spring snipers are'nt very usefull in this country because they're limited to 1 joule.

synesthesia

snipers are very accurate. especially with heavier BB's - the spring can easilly be changed on the SVD ( and it takes AEG springs too ) depending on the weight of BB's you want to use.

Spring or AEG, the limit is the same, but it is true that oversee, you can have much more powerfull snipers, but aeg's as well. search a bit, this topic has been covered on this forum

but snipping is still popular in Ireland, you can have a check in the facebook group : https://www.facebook.com/groups/234623130005434/?fref=ts

sammypants14

If you are using say .30 bb's would the limit still be 328 fps or would is it only 328 fps with .20 bb's meaning you can't put in a more powerful spring even if you use heavier bb's? What I mean is, can you use a more powerful spring if you always use heavier bb's?

synesthesia

i am not a specialist but i understand that it has to be under 1 joule as well, so you can use very heavy BB's ( like .40 or so ) .

I recall seeing a table showing that somewhere ...
