I'm off to buy a ASG M40a3 sportline version tonight. They are going really cheap at my local retailer. I have seen good things about them and I could do with a new project to sink all my time and money into.

I need arguments for and against such an idea.

 
For: It's your money, you're an adult and you can if you want to?

Against: It'll always get compared to a VSR, SSG or SRS.

If it's cheap and the upgrade parts are plentiful and well priced. Why not?

 
For - DO IT.

Against - Don't do it.

Hope that helps.

 
For it: it's different than the sea of SSG/SRS everyone and their mother uses.

Against it: Will it be as good as a VSR/Striker?

 
Alas, things didn't turn out as planned and I didn't pick up the rifle. I will pick one up at some point in the near future. I've not done any sniping before so just wanted something to try out to see if it suits me, hence getting a cheapo rifle to mess about with.

But thanks everyone. Especially you Lozart, you were really useful. ?

I've had my eye on the CYMA CM700a for a while now. From what I've been able to find out the CYMA makes for a better upgrade platform

 
For - nothing

Against - You will just turn into another Licking Toenail Sniper Ghillie Suit Wearing Not Taking Your Hits Cos You Is Leet Cheating Fucktard C*nt

PS I dont like 'snipers'..... :P

Have you tried playing with your normal RIF in a sniper style?
This will give you an idea if it's for you, to start with.
Loads of people told me to get a cheap sniper to see if sniping was for me.
For me, that was really bad advice and I wish I hadn't listened. The whole point of a sniper rifle is to be able to hit targets at a distance beyond that of a normal AEG. Otherwise you're just cannon fodder, due to the fact you get one shot every 2-3s and they can let off 50 or so in the same time frame... Being shot to shit, when you can't return fire effectively can put you off sniping for life.
If you can, borrow a decent sniper rifle for a game, or at the very least just to shoot.
There is a world of difference between an out of the box, cheap sniper rifle and a decent sniper rifle that's been well tuned.
As with all things, ymmv. Just my two pence...

Agree 110%, but if your determined to get another rifle, go down the DMR route, most sites allow up to 450fps, much easier (& cheaper) to set up & work on, can usually be switched back to full auto capable if you find it's not for you, & to be honest the sniper role is as much about mindset as it is about equipment, the DMR role is a good halfway point between the two, without having to sell your soul to Hairybuttitch & become a total cnut ? .

To that end I'd recommend an M14, TM or CYMA, full length or socom, & before you start ripping it open to get it to 449.9 FPS just play a couple of games with it set to semi & try being a sneaky mofo, it's a lot of fun ?

I normally run low or mid caps and use semi auto only when I play so I am not too fussed on machine gunning everything to death. I also spend a lot of time time crawling on the ground as I don't mind getting covered in mud and it allows me to get in better shooting positions with less chance of being shot on the way.

The rifle thing, is not so much about becoming a ghillie suited leet guy, more about having a few different options of playing styles when I role up for a game and also having a bit of a project  to waste time and money on.

Anyway, I have binned the ASG off and I have just ordered a CYMA CM.702C. It looks cool and there are a few decent upgrade options to allow me to reach out and touch someone.
