AmberYooToob Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I am still new and I’m building my first loadout as I enjoyed sniper when I got to try it, but are there any upgrades or essentials that are missing from here? I play forest first and foremost, no urban and any buildings are made of wood I would also like some suggestions on getting a kit to make my own Ghillie suit at an affordable price thanks for the help Pistol BBs https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/g-g-0-25g-p-s-b-p-competition-grade-6mm-bb-1kg-bag Pistol https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/asg-cz-shadow-2-co2-pistol?fv=9889 Pistol mags x4 https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/asg-cz-shadow-2-co2-magazine Holster https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/8fields-tactical-universal-drop-leg-pistol-holster-large?fv=2062 Bolt Action Sniper https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/specna-arms-sa-s03-core-sniper-rifle?fv=11192 Scope https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/vortex-crossfire-ii-3-9x40-riflescope-with-v-plex-reticle Sling https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/nuprol-three-point-bungee-sling?fv=4363 Goggles https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/bolle-cobra-platinum-clear-airsoft-safety-goggle Gloves https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/viper-tactical-special-forces-gloves?fv=267 Deadrag https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/patrol-base-rip-out-dead-rag?fv=9154 Hydration Pack https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/viper-tactical-modular-hydration-pack Rifle BBs https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/nuprol-rzr-0-32g-precision-bb-x3300 Speed Loader (one of each colour for each weapon) https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/asg-bb-90rnd-speedloader?fv=2086 Rig for my ammo https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/8fields-tactical-buckle-up-recce-sniper-chest-rig?fv=10188 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DrAlexanderTobacco Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 That scope doesn't come with scope rings so when it arrives you won't be able to attach it to the rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomodai Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 The pistol will likely fire far too hot for UK sites 330 fps plus 10 percent. Go for something green gas. I would also be getting an AEG as that Sniper rifle will be pretty useless without upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albiscuit Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I personally wouldn’t recommend a sniper for your first rifle/role in Airsoft. It’s not for everyone and you really need to spend a lot of time and effort getting your rifle outranging most decent Aeg’s and players. But your list: Boots, you need decent footwear. Deadrag, is this needed? No sites I have played at uses one! Mask, I always recommend a face mask for any player, of course if your over 18 it’s your choice not to wear one but I personally wouldn’t play without one. As for building a ghillie suit I would watch lots of YouTube videos. That is the best guide really, lots of options and techniques to making a decent one. Thought about doing my own but realised I couldn’t be bothered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immortal Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Curious; when you say you tried a "sniper' rifle. Did you actually play a game with it or fired a couple of shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you played a game then you got a feel for it. If you only fired a few shots I'd of said it's quite different tracking live targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most sites don’t check side arms but even so I can use the range for each mag to make them less “hot” or so I was told by some people on the weekend recently and upgrades? That’s nice it’ll keep me busy, if I want an AEG I’ll just pay the extra £10 for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s nice it’ll keep me busy, if I want an AEG I’ll just pay the extra £10 for now Almost all the sites I've played (30 plus) check all CO2 pistols, they also only let you chrono with fresh c02 bulbs yo not cheat the chrono. There is no really good reason to get C02 over green gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokai Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I'd get a cheaper side arm, just one pistol mag, cheaper scope (vortex are nice but starting out not needed, or full stop to be fair) and throw as much as extra into the rifle as possible.

If money isn't an issue then go SSG24 OR SRS for the rifle, no tinkering needed out of the box apart from maybe a spring change on the SRS. Side arm wise go Tokyo marui mk23.

But I might just get The Mk23, it wasn’t in stock when I last checked Also, I want to upgrade my own eventually but right now I’m more focused on getting started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main reason Sorry bud, however that is nonsense. With regular maintenance (which is totally minimal) neither will leak. If kept clean and stored correctly, it's little more than a drop of silicon every now and then for a mag powered by either gas. Over a long period of time it's possible a seal may give out but that (IME) is rare and usually from poor maintenance/storage. BTW I have about 40 gas powered shooters powered by both gases.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted September 30, 2019 Supporters Share Posted September 30, 2019 The ASG MK23 is in stock: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/asg-mk23-socom-airsoft-pistol-with-silencer And can be upgraded later if and when funds allow (I understand that you're financing this). Not as much fun as GBB, but cheap, quiet, cheap, gas efficient, cheap, and can be TDC hopped to shoot heavy ammo. It's the default budget sniper sidearm. Did I mention it was cheap?

I'd say that's a viable load if it's the gun that you actually want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is so wrong on many levels and pure guesswork. Either get one that fires in the legal limits or go green. And you'll be wasting so much gas killing the bulb it's a false economy. Whoever gave you this advice on Co2 is only giving bad advice. I'm trying to be polite. They're talking BS. Consider who you are shooting, not just about the pistol and cheating the chrono.
