for me a pistol wouldnt be as accurate or fast as my lipo m4.:D
I can assure you, if the **** hit the fan, youd be dead before you sling out your m4.
Lets look at your proposed setup.
You have a long rifle as your main, as your secondary you propose having another long rifle, on your back, slung, with a hicap.
*Wipes away tears of sadness*
okey dokey so first things first
Transition
This is moving from your primary to your secondary. To do this, you need to drop your main rifle out of your hands, then grab your M4 slung to your back, either get the sling over your head or turn the sling around your body to get into a firing position.
The above will take some time unless your seriously practiced. I'm going to assume you need to get to the sling off over your head, shoulder it, aim and fire.
I'll bet you 10/10 times , from your rifles range, that I can run and gun you dead before you get off a shot. Thats right, from say 100 feet, when you need to transition, i'll have you dead.
Besides the fact I can shoot the same distance as your sniper rifle, with all your moving and noise from transition I'll know where you are and can hit straight back. To make sure though I'll probably run 20 feet closer, while you still mess with your sling. Now if you dont panic, in the rush knowing I'm coming at you, you might get it off your back, but your still going to die.
Likelyhood is your going to panic like most would, get the sling caught around your neck, not wind the mag, fail to engage the fire selector or do something, and your dead.
Noise
You have an M4, full length rifle on your back. As you move, it will e bouncing off the enviroment, bouncing off trees, bouncing off you.
The 300 hicap, will be a babies rattle. You will be heard all over. Your advtanage of being sneaky and silent, is ruined by the poor decision to take on an m4.
Snagging
As a sniper, you really need to get in concealed positions, quickly and quietly, possibly relocate when the **** gets rough, and move through gorse, bush and trees. Having a sling on your back, you can quickly get snagged on branches and extruding items of the enviroment, this causes your aggrevation and downtime un-tangling yourself, becoming unaware of your surroundings and pressing enemies.
As a sniper you will often be required to go prone or crouch. With a slung rifle, expect it to hit of the ground when you crouch causing noise, or getting snagged or getting in the way when you go prone.
In short, stop being silly. A "sniper" with an mp5k I'd consider being a silly goose, with an M4, I'll get banned for saying.
Pistols is your only option, not the best, the only option. Be it housed in a waistbelt holster, shoulder holster or dropleg, there is NO OTHER OPTION.
I can literally drop so many reasons as to why a pistol is vastly superior, I cant gauge how anyone thinks otherwise.
Your only going to transition in three instances.
A)You run out of ammo
B)You have numerous targets
C)Target have gotten too close.
A pistol is the best bet every time
Of course try two games with your m4 on your back then come back and tell me I'm right

sorry 2 burst ur bubble mate but i was out da other weekend with the m4 & gspeck and gots plenty of kills, with both guns.
its not that hard to bring the m4 up or even leave it on the ground beside the sniper, even if u wernt fast or strong enough to get it up from ur back..
theyre feather light as they are only toys.
yeah it mite get snagged but u have just as much chance with a big ignorant stupid looking leg holster catchin on everything, with the gun on my back thats all i have to worry about, not wats on my legs.
i think ur gettin to worked up in real world aplications, its air soft. U can talk all day on the ineternet how ul kill me before i do tis or that but at the end of the day thats all it is.....talk on the internet.
in a skirmish id say it would be 50/50, probably more liek 70/40 may cos of the fact my lipod m4 will hose ya down before u get da safety off:p
what use is a pistol again 3 or 4 enemys at differnt ranges?
id rather pull my trigger and have a chance at keepin theyre heads down while i evac.0 -

Depending where you are it can work, some it doesnt. Each to ones own. I have a pistol for simplicity but a MAC 11 or an MP5K can be just as easy to carry and much more effective. Usually I just pull out, reposition, its not your job to hold a sector by yourself, if your on your lonesome pull out reposition and get back to the job in hand. If your not alone it shouldnt be a problem. If you cant pull back that means your too close to them and chances are they will get you when you swap over. If you have good cover stealth will be better that an AEG, the Sniper is relitivly silent so you can get more accurate shots before they notice you.
Anyway its +35 outside, im heading out now 0 -
