I can count on one finger the number of full game days where I have used my JG Bar10 boltie (I've had it for 2 years). And on a single hand the number of half days.
There are so many variables that come into play with sniper style play that I think you would soon get bored and give up if this was your only source of airsofting kit. For a start you need a gun that has been upgraded and had a serious amount of time and energy put into it.
Then you need a decent and very reliable secondary for engagements within your MED, somewhere between 20 and 30m for most sites.
For me that rules out sniping during the cooler months, because gas pistols can sometimes be unreliable in the cold. In addition, if winds are strong, or gusting you can't make reliable adjustments between shots so hitting your target is more luck than good shooting.
Then there is the speed of play, unless you know a site has really good areas suited to sniping play, or the games will be played at a fairly slow pace to allow you to sneak into a position, get dug in, take a few shots and then get away without being seen, you will find you are constantly struggling to keep up with the action, or people are very quickly within your MED.
