Oneshotonekill Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hi guys my birthday is next week and I’m looking for a sniper now these are the choices I have. Please bare in mind I don’t have the money to be upgrading it any time soon. So here’s my choices. Cyma m24 fluted barrel-seen airsoftcamman using it classic army m24 ltr Tokyo Marui gspec Tokyo Marui l96 cyma vsr now the reason why the ltr is on there is because I’ve seen airsoftology and swamp sniper use it and it carry’s a 90degree dear and 90degree piston etc. As I said the cyma m24 is on their because I’ve seen Airsoft cam man use it but again please bare in mind I don’t have the money to be upgrading. Many thanks George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo1f Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Personally, I’ve never met anyone who’s had any sort of success with a sniper rifle that hasn’t had virtually every part changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Lozart Posted February 12, 2018 Supporters Share Posted February 12, 2018 Out of the box the only one I've heard reasonable things about is the TM. As stated above though, generally an airsoft sniper rifle is almost always about getting a good base to start from and upgrading the crap out of it!

Oneshotonekill Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Ok cheers mate but I thought the power would be just crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TM is likely going to be the most accurate regardless of power. Otherwise I would suggest the Ares Striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangtight Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Out of the box the TM will be the most accurate and have reasonable range. It is also the worst choice for upgrading in the future as you will be replacing almost every part. There really isn't anything in between. You either bite the bullet, open your wallet and build a good BASR, or you buy the TM and live with it as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richmt11 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I think the Marius look a little out of place in your list if I’m honest! I mean all guns are £130 and under at least and your Marius are both £215+ (depending where you shop?). i don’t have sniper experience, but price and brand name suggests it’s the best choice on the list. And again I’ve heard the same, that snipers all need a ton of upgrades. so presumably the best bet is to grab a cheap gun with a view it’ll be upgraded. what about a JG Bar 10 (sits in line with prices in your list). or go cheaper with the Well MB03. I’ve heard good things about that as an upgrade platform. Coming it at around £60 compared to the bulk of your list that allows some £60-£80 to upgrade right away, or comparing with the Marius that’ll put you £170 available for upgrades!

Oneshotonekill Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Ok guys cheers but has any one got any good thoughts about the CYMA and classic army ltr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 buy a TM, keep it stock, laugh at people when you hit them with your sub 300 fps gun from another postcode. the less you spend, the more you spend. keep that in mind.. you don't need 70000000 fps, you need consistency. Oh, the TM vsr is almost completely silent past 10m. everything else on your list is crap. like, dump another £250/300 in upgrades or throw it in the bin type of crap. EDIT: every other gun in you list NEEDS to be heavily upgraded in order to be ON PAR with a stock TM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneshotonekill Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Oh right cheers mate I will take that into consideration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin proffrink Posted February 12, 2018 Root Admin Share Posted February 12, 2018 Agreed. TM VSR is still the best platform if you don't know what you're doing and want something that shoots well. Otherwise put aside a minimum of £200 for upgrading the barrel, hop unit, bucking, cyclinder, piston and trigger all at once. If you're not doing all of those then don't bother.

Wo1f Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Even if the VSR is more accurate than the rest, it’s range is going to be no better than a bolt action TM recoil. Snipers only advantage is when they are out of your range but you’re still in theirs. None of the above offer you that sort of performance. In general, specialist roles in airsoft require money and dedication to the craft in order to be successful. Have you considered a DMR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneshotonekill Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Ok cheers guys now I’ve got an upgrade kit already for the asg urban sniper including Black steel cylinder 90degree piston 90degree trigger upgraded spring guide etc now ive got the parts but not the gun so I could either get a tm vsr or go for that urban sniper and have them parts put straight in it many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneshotonekill Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Also what’s the Tokyo soldier gas sniper rifle like I’ve seen it on Firesupport what’s it like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo1f Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The best gas sniper rifle is the Asg/VFC m40a5. I love mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't his first thread about sniper rifle choices.... Being a friendly person I always try to help and be somewhat useful.. But this is too much for me to handle lol. He just bought an upgrade kit for a gun he hasn't got yet.. Inb4 he goes for a M110 and goodbye money.. Don't get me wrong @OneshotonekillOneshotonekill but get the gun first and then get the upgrades.. Or think about the upgrades then get the gun but always buy the platform first.. You remind me of a guy who played airsoft twice, bought €700 (uhm, about £550/600) with of useless stuff, he used said stuff once and now everything is collecting dust.. Plan your purchases, come on, it doesn't take much. Wanna get a sniper rifle? Ok, spend a week looking for a design that you like, spend a week looking for the "best" bang for your buck, spend a week doing research on upgrades (if needed).. If after 3 weeks you haven't changed your mind, then buy it.. Experienced players don't need to do that because they already know what they are looking for, but I'm sure they did what I said at least once in their lifetime..

Oneshotonekill Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Well thanks for them lovely comments,not! 1.

Hangtight Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Seriously though, just get yourself a good, basic AEG and go have some fun while you're putting together a decent BASR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
