Hello my name is John and I live in Guildford Surrey and I am 54 years old. Notes: I am slightly overweight and suffer from Tinnitus & Agorophobia. I am 5' 3" and not athletic in anyway apart from walking the dog. My question is why are most people convinced that a new player should not start with a sniper rifle, I fully understand the realities of Airsoft having read and watched so much over the years. As a "prospective new airsoft potential player" my age and physical capabilities (see notes above) means that I probably would more than likely be more suited to a snipers' role/gameplay. This therefore requires me ask others the best way to start into the game in this role and suggest reasonable weapons that are suited to old gits like me The reason I consider the sniper role as suitable is that I (1) would not be able to keep up with younger players (2) enter into a CQB situation (3) dont need to be competitive as far as K:D is concerned ( a good tactical shot is satisfactory above numbers ). Since I was 15 I have been a wildlife stalker/photographer so patience is a big part of my life and there is no rush for me to achieve a goal. I enjoy long walks in the country but hate Golf My basic shopping list would read as follows: TM VSR G-Spec - Silenced (Upgrades as required to achieve site FPS and effectiveness) 3.5-10x50 Scope Ghillie ( as expected ) Various Tactical Clothing items MK23 sidearm or Small AEG (see question below) I am sure my bank balance will suffer but my wife really doesnt need more shoes.... Most sniper rifles are not to be fired at targets closer than 25m however does this apply to AEG's ?
