can anyone recommend a good DMR with an FPS of 350?

Completely unrelative to the physics of airsoft, but IMO completely necessary from a REAL Imitation Firearm - a DMR should have real world validity.

That being 7.62/303 or 6.5 etc.

Or if 5.56 etc then at least 18” barrel.

I run a G&G MBR556 as a DMR. I'm not going to die on this hill as don't have enough knowledge of "real world situations" (although as an airsofter I have to shoehorn in that I have shot RS in 7.62 and .308) but my understanding is that DMR's are often chambered in the same calibre as the main squad rife, just tuned for long range precision. As such modern DMR's are also found in 5.56

I will add that I have electronic "sniper delay" setup and only use 90 round mags. Combine that with some sites requiring as low as 400fps for their DMR players, I don't see how people could take issue with what I do, just because I don't have a SR25 style stock on my RIF.

I think most sensible people are fine with that. Hell, the SR-25 itself has multiple stock options and one is an extendable stock like on an M4. Where most people get annoyed is when you get someone turning up with an ARP9 or an mp5 as a DMR. I will say I generally dislike the rules for DMRs at most sites, and the 1.48J/400fps DMR rules just make me go 1.1J instead.

If you want to run at higher FPS and with MED yes, but there's nothing at all stopping you from playing as if you are a Designated Marksman with any gun, even at nerdy stitch-counting events.

If we want to compare it to Real Life, most actual soldiers would probably resemble an airsoft DM more than they would the rest of the suicide squad...

I typically subscribe to the idea that the role =/= RIF classification. After all, I play like a "sniper" with 1.1J guns all the time, some people play the squad "designated marksman" role with a 2.3J bolt action etc. But as I said above, it's more when people turn up with an SMG or an m4 with a drum mag as a "DMR" at 1.88J or whatever the local limit is that I start to ask questions.

@Impulse - Pistol Calibre DMR's!?...haha, shhh let's not give anyone ideas. But yeah, the more I get sprayed through a bush by someone who definitely couldn't see me and was just shooting in a general direction, the more I go off drum mags.

Yes, fully agreed that there is a lot of scope for people taking the piss with pseudo-DMR builds, hence why it would be better IMO to encourage the culture of changing your playstyle rather than the gun. We could probably do without DMRs (meaning semi-auto, high FPS builds) entirely in game terms.

If I were king of an airsoft site, I'd mandate that for DMRs, with a 2 second delay.  Then I'd test them all at every respawn.  Then I'd just ban them all anyway.

Lurks in smaller than pistol calibre DMR. Mind you, if it’s good enough for the Israeli defence force, it’s good enough for me

i was debating bringing that up, about the perfect example of a great airsoft dmr platform that doesn't meet the usual requirements for real usage.

ofc that's my thinking before you mentioned the idf, part of me is curious as to why and how they're using them.

Apparently they use them as a "less than lethal" weapon. Despite having killed quite a few people with it.

 
Actually speaking of MED's too.....

I really want to see what happens if you run up to a sniper/DMR player who doesn't have a sidearm. I like to think they'd start frantically backpedalling, trying to get 30M away but it's airsoft, so they'd probably shoot you regardless.

 
Well they're mainly shooting kids and journalists, so they can afford to go with a smaller calibre.

Depends. The way I play, I just stay totally still and let them run past me while I pretend to be part of the woodland, because if they've spotted me they've probably already hit me, since I tend to use spots that are great for concealment, but piss-poor for cover, or I've bugged out long ago ?

I think you're right. Most of the time they just shoot. Sometimes they even apologise, but not always. I also had one run up to me and say knife kill though (a guy with a bolt action and an MED of 30m) after I hit him with my pistol once and he didn't take the hit (unfortunately it misfired on the follow up shots because it was very cold). That's also against the rules at my local site, because it could really quickly devolve into a bit of a slap fight when the other person parries and counter attacks like I had to stop myself from doing ?

Thus many (most? all?) sites requiring anyone with a MED primary to also have a sub-1.13J secondary.
