Supporters M_P Posted May 20, 2013 Supporters Share Posted May 20, 2013 Get a tokyo marui vsr and get prepared to spend a great deal on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters sp00n Posted May 20, 2013 Supporters Share Posted May 20, 2013 If you are new to airsoft (and don't have a wepon yet), please don't get a sniper rifle, get an aeg instead, sniper rifles to make them effective have to have a lot of ££ spent on them, where as an aeg is good straight out of the box. Go to a skirmish, rent a gun and have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for a sniper TM are very good, but it all depends on what style of rifle you want, such as VSR or L96 etc etc or even a SR25. First of all consider your budget, then the style of rifle you want, then electric/spring/gas, then check upgrades are available most/all snipers need an upgrade or 2. Go and have a look/try of one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted May 20, 2013 Supporters Share Posted May 20, 2013 No matter what sniper rifle you get, be prepared to spend at least another £300 on upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent7Sniper7 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I thought i should post this here instead of a new thread, im looking into getting a gas sniper but i know nothing about em, so what will i have to do upgrade wise (if any)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainDumbass Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 First off, if you're under 18, don't bother, a two tone sniper rifle will be pointless If you're not: definitely a marui vsr but be prepared to b,ow a lot of money on upgrades.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hav0c Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Following what the other guys have mentioned in this thread, if you're getting into sniping and want a decent rifle with a solid bed for upgrading (which is a MUST for an effective sniper's rifle) then go with the VSR G-spec (Fire Support have just had a shipment in the other day so be quick!) and then buy a nice scope, some extra mags and if its your thing, a bipod. Then, you'll need to start thinking about upgrades. First off, FPS isn't everything! Get a TBB, new hop, new METAL sears, new trigger group and then once you have done that, you can decide whether you want a stronger spring or not. Bear in mind though, if you keep the VSR with stock FPS but upgrade everything else in it you might now have an Engagement Distance. This can be a big advantage as you will have upgraded your rifle to be highly accurate but also shoot at the same velocity as AEG's, thus meaning you could play a little more aggressive with it. One more thing about sniping. Buy a good quality, reliable side arm. WE pistols should fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hav0c Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 WE and reliable are two words ive never seen mentioned together. Plenty people at my local have WE side arms and I've never heard complaints, but hey, we all have opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters sp00n Posted May 21, 2013 Supporters Share Posted May 21, 2013 WE and reliable are two words ive never seen mentioned together. pistolwise anyway. i have not had an issue with mine yet, and the main reasons for issues (from what i have heard), is lack of maintainence/crappy bb's/low temps/modifications etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffreym Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 WE and reliable are two words ive never seen mentioned together. pistolwise anyway. The new style ones are far better than the older cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
