Countering bush wookies Like Kicking Mustang?

100% this, at the Gunman Christmas game two years ago we had two great snipers dressed up in white ghillies as yeti's. it was Santa's Vs Elves but they were getting a lot of hits and because they picked their shots and watched their silhouettes/stayed still they rarely got spotted...

Yeah but we did have a lot of snow that year.?

 
i mostly wear/worse black. i remember a limited lives game hiding in the open using grass and noone seeing me but in the other way around a gilli suit covering self with grass and trying for a perfect blend getting shot straight away. think its easier to spot a hiding wookie sometimes as people look where they would expect it to hide...

Staying very still.

Point taken that if you don't move then you'll be nailed down eventually, but I'd emphasise the other points that most airsofters are lemmings and will queue up to be shot in the same place in the same way, over and over again.  And in the unlikely event that two or three of them do actually talk to each other and coordinate to find you, then you're tying up two or three players.

Back when I used to watch sniper videos, I noticed that most of Spliffing Duster's video start with him already set up and the opposition coming to him (because he goes out and does that before the game starts), while Novritsch does a lot more of sprinting from a spawn to reach a good position, and pushing.

I'm quite serious that the secret to spotting the former players is to play with the same degree of sportsmanship they do.  I'm not advocating it, just pointing it out.

Can't actually say I've ever seen an airsoft cam vid that's been worth watching, but it's definitely true that the "victims" in the sniper vids are usually milling around like extras in the walking dead, or if you've ever played a crap video game where you snipe an ai character, & all his buddies mill around him with zero realisation of what just happened, even when more start dropping lol.

Why do they give the bush wookies 500fps, plus the powers of invisibility. It seems like these players are looking for an unfair advantage. Plus they are going for head shots.

Anyone can wear a ghillie if they want, having a bolty is not mandatory.

As has been mentioned, the basic principles of keep moving unless you have good cover or concealment and work as a team to hunt down the threat.

 
Yes, my best friend when I was on operations was known as, glistening beaver! Looks you got a free ght on your hands.

If you're basing this off of watching WuTube sniper videos, they're heavily edited.  At the risk of it all Kicking Mustang off again, some of them take deliberate face shots to generate clickbait, go out of bounds, set up before the game, ignore MEDs, don't call their own hits, and add fake hit markers to big up their 1337 5k33lz and generate even more drama.

It's not common though, eventually it leads to site inviting them to not come back, and sniping isn't as generally effective as they make it out to be, not at most sites on most days.  You can have a great day when you find the perfect spot against the perfect cluster of victims, or you can get overrun and pasted in short order.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the best way to find out the realities of airsoft is to go and play it.

All of the experienced bush wookiees at my local site are opting for 1J guns instead. The other two are using Wolverine MTWs and I'm putting a Polarstar F2 in my m14 once I've cleared my debts; with hop ups the way they are these days, 2.3J just isn't as worth it as it used to be.

Also, not all bush wookiees go for headshots. And not all people who go for headshots are bush wookiees. Dicks come in all shapes and sizes (hurhurhur)

Even at 1J the difference is noticeable.

I can comfortably snipe people even with my AEGs, but they can't retaliate because they have 10/15m less range.

Made gameplay more stagnant though

 
My only experience of sniping was a gas Tanaka M40 with a cracked hop chamber and Digicon BBs (ie bad), couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Can sniper rifles reliably hit a head sized target beyond MED? By reliably, I don't mean youtube 'hit rates'.

 
Myself and @GAMBLE  hunt them down pretty efficiently, which tend to end with either a pistol kill or tomahawk kill. Good fun for us and let’s the rest of the team focus on the task at hand.
