Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
You do not want to be an airsoft sniper, even if you like the sniper role in games, or films, etc. It's a whole different kettle of fish in airsoft and it costs a lot of money for even the cheapest upgrades necessary to improve a stock gun so that it will be at the minimum standard needed to compete in a skirmish. Play for at least a year before you consider trying out sniping.
Now theres a guy who doesnt like snipers 
I'm gonna do the hunteering course next summer, so I'll be sniping a little at the our next games day, it was CQC this week so I didnt get chance to use the L96 I got the other week.
I like to mix it up, so I dont get fed up of the same weapon.

Classic Army seem to have a good rep. The only stuff from them which I have is G36 mid cap mags, so it's no use in deciding whether or not to buy one of their guns, but they are excellent :lol: An obvious potential downside with that M16 (apart from the fact that it's an AR15 variant), which I spot just from looking at it, is that it is a fair bit longer than the average for assault rifles, so it will be more awkward in tight spaces and, unless you're a big lad, may well give you arm ache from holding it to your shoulder faster than a shorter AEG would. But then the deets: 250 FPS - no. Just no. Under no circumstances is this going to cut it on a woodland site.
A free battery and charger is always nice, but it doesn't say what make of battery and the charger will be a non-smart trickle type - you could get at least as good a battery and better charger for about £20. Basic Safety Glasses means polycarbonate lens/frame combo which do not seal close to your face but fog up easily anyway, and they scratch pretty easily too - they are worth nothing when comparing deals. No mention of what make the 500 BB's are, but 3000 for £8 is an average on-site cost, so let's say £1.33. A basic sling will not last long - either a/the clip/s will bend or the strap will bunch in one or both of the D-rings and bend it/them, assuming the stitching doesn't give out before this can happen, hence value = £1.00 tops. A skirmish voucher is worth about £20-25, but if you're comparing against a Combat Machine from Zero One you'll get a voucher anyway.
Get a Combat Machine mate, unless you want an AK, in which case get a CYMA, or a G36, in which case get an SRC Gen 3.
Check this out too.

No, not at all. I've upgraded a sniper rifle recently so that it's good enough to actually use and now I'm learning to use what little I know about field craft and camo combined with my expanding experience of shooting it to play the sniper role. I've been at it since NAE13 23-25 Aug, and as of now, by the standards of reliable airsoft snipers, I'm shit. By the standards of noobs turning up to their 4th-5th skirmish with an out of the box VSR or L96, I'm a ninja :lol:Now theres a guy who doesnt like snipers

G&G should sponsor us. People are going to start thinking we all work PR for them and make a commission selling Combat Machines
also get a G&G Combat Machine as your first gun, I own one and have nothing but good things to say about it..

Not quite:
Hint: I want a GK99
But yeah, Zero One ought to be giving us a 5% supporters discount and G&G ought to be giving us guns to give away regularly.

I'm glad you find if funny!Don't get that A17! Waste of money!
Get a G&G Combat Machine, not much more, and at least 5x better!
Also, yeah go a few times first. I'd say go 3 times, see if you like it, then get a G&G
+Those guns fire 205 fps... Unless it's Marui, stay away!
Oh, and the comment reviews are funny :L
Those kind of comments just annoy me to be honest.
