Stormhall Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 http://www.onlybbguns.co.uk/entry-level-airsoft-guns/mauser-cannon-long-barrel-hg-196lw.html It's a gas gun and it shoots 370fps but it has a long barrel and I don't know what this could be classed as because at most sites it shoots way over aeg limits (350 fps) and is way under any fully fledged sniper. I might aquire one of these later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwr3850 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Best way to judge it is if you want to do CQB or woodland. 350 is max FPS for CQB sites. Woodland except higher. CQB then why a sniper platform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormhall Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 I'm not going to take it for cqb I just wanted to know if it classes more of a sniper (so I'd have to be 30 meters away) or if it was more of a DMR and if it had an exceptable fps limit.

Supporters sp00n Posted May 15, 2013 Supporters Share Posted May 15, 2013 I just wanted to know if it classes more of a sniper (so I'd have to be 30 meters away) or if it was more of a DMR and if it had an exceptable fps limit. its a gas sniper rifle This is a well-made very heavy full metal HFC 'German' Gas Sniper Rifle HG-196LW Sniper Rifle. It has a nice feel and when you squeeze the trigger you can feel the quality. It’s a non-blowback version with a Double action trigger allows rapid firing. The Removable magazine is in full metal. it has a wood feel grip that looks awesome! This is one High power BB gun and it fires with a nice sound. It shoots around 370FPS. All in all this is a nice version of the Classic World War II Sniper Rifle. You will need green gas to make it come alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormhall Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 With 370fps it definitely doesn't seem like a good sniper and that's what confused me. But I don't mind hanging back with a scope attached it just seems like a minor inconvenience if I do. Although if I were to use duster gas (which i'm guessing will probably take it down to around 340fps) will it still be classed as sniper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted May 15, 2013 Supporters Share Posted May 15, 2013 The gun is probably useless anyway it'll be classed as a sniper rifle so long as its over the aeg limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormhall Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 I've seen a few vids on it and it seems to hold it's own on the field of battle but I really don't know WHY I want it because I already have a very capable AEG. I could just get a good old gas pistol and attach a stock and have a nice and accurate sidearm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Da Mack Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Wait.... That is a sniper rifle??? That's a german WW2 mauser pistol with a stock and long barrel stock on it... THAT IS NOT a sniper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormhall Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 I know but it looks cool and fires at 370fps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters M_P Posted May 15, 2013 Supporters Share Posted May 15, 2013 It'll be useless in a game tbh. Its coolness would be negated by forever strolling back and forth to the regen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormhall Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 That happens to me already. Who cares about FPS? When you don't have a TM fps means a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tariq Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 My KWA MP7 is only 260fps and outranges most AEGs (although at around 50m you can kind of matrix style dodge it if you're paying attention to it ) Although GBB guns generally do have great range.

Supporters M_P Posted May 15, 2013 Supporters Share Posted May 15, 2013 Why not spend the money upgrading your current rifle? If you get better range and accuracy you won't even need a dmr then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted May 15, 2013 Supporters Share Posted May 15, 2013 If you fancy seeing if a gas sniper weapon and role is good for you and don't want to risk a lot of money to do so, you could always get one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I can get extra mags and as long as I can downgrade the fps so it acts as more of a side-arm then I'll definitely take it. Just after I get my osprey plate carrier.

TacMaster Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I worked out a little while ago that you can get the MK2, 2 mags, green gas and 2-toning (if applicable) for under £120. All of of Wolf, including postage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
