Jake117 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Right, still havnt decided which rilfe to buy but one (the Well Warrior l96 MB01) has a fps of 450 - 470 and my site limit is 400 on snipers. They said to my mate that he couldnt shoot within 10feet because he was10 over but 60 is a lot. Im just wondering is it easy to lower the fps if necissary or do you think they'll leme off. (Its combat south so if anyon has gone through this please tell me what happened) Edit: and how much would a 375ish fps be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted February 21, 2011 Supporters Share Posted February 21, 2011 you REALLY want to go for an AEG in this case, you simply won't have the power to outrange your AEG counterparts that a sniper should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedle Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 If I we're you chap I would have a chat with Steve down at CS and he'll be able to help advise you on your options. Down grading the fps should be easy enough if you know what you're doing and if done correctly you'll maintain good distance and accuracy. They always chrono at CS and rightly so, so there will be no way getting around it. Weekend before last they refused a guy to play as his sniper rifle was ridiculously too hot. I hear very good things about all the chaps at CS so give them a call mate they will defiantly help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake117 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 thanks, Ill give them a call some time soon then. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarni307 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I had a quick go on my mates l96 at combat south on Sunday it was shooting at 395fps and was a complete waste of time as my g36c shooting 340fps shot pretty much the same range much more accurately you may not listen but you will seriously reget buying a sniper if you want that type of gun buy a m14 and attach a scope you have the best of both worlds then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 To get a decent sniper with good range you need truck loads of money for both the gun and upgrades. Like Sarni said, m14 wiv a scope job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake117 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Well, the M14 EBR sounds good bu its fps is only 280 and im guessing that fps is extremly proportional to range, right? If thats the case then will it be any use as a sniper? Ive seen some reviews of the Well L96 MB01 that says is really good starter sniper out of the box. What I really want to know is will the Kart M14 EBR have a decent range and accuracy for a sniper? (not asking for perfection, just usable as a sniper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 If your want a higher FPS on a gun just get a deifferent spring. Simples! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake117 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 \thanks but what i meant was: the only thing that affects range on a rifle is its fps right? if so 280 fps isnt really any use as a sniper right? But yer, ill get a new spring for the M14 i think, how much would a spring of about 340 - 350 fps be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZKaleem Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 NO THAT IS WRONG!!! Hop up and ammo and maybe the type of barrel being used is the most of the range FPS only plays a small part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarni307 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 NO THAT IS WRONG!!! Hop up and ammo and maybe the type of barrel being used is the most of the range FPS only plays a small part is right but plays a slightly bigger role than you sudgest fps reffers to the velocity so basic physics would sudgest that the faster the ball leaves the barrel the further it will shoot what you are saying reffers to the accuracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aron Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 FPS does probably help more than barrel/hop up. Also the thing about higher FPS is that it also gets the bb to the target quicker so they have less time to duck/move out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZKaleem Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 but if your sniping you shouldn't be close enough for them to know there is a bb or gun being fired at you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted February 23, 2011 AF-UK Founding Member Share Posted February 23, 2011 Go for hop and barrel upgrades first. It's no good having "extra" range from the increased FPS (which won't do much on its own) if you can't then be accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 but if your sniping you shouldn't be close enough for them to know there is a bb or gun being fired at you And if you were a good enough shot that wouldn't be a problem.. Also remember to line up your scope. Theres no point having an accurate gun if the scope isn't on target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that was just pointing out that it's the gps that affects the range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
