1) Uh... No
2) I'd waaay more prefer a sniper rifle in a woods game, as my quote says: "Snipers are the least likely to be hit, yet the most likely to be hunted." 3) Learning to handle an airsoft rifle takes some time, you need to have good distance estimations, wind directions and bb curving estimations, and some more stuff that takes some training :P 4)Chyea! I got my first fully auto gun when I was 7, yes 7, I used it to learn the sport and stuff like that for 2 years and went to sniper when I was 9, I'm 13 now, I've been told that I'm a highly advanced sniper for my age, and I have to say I kinda agree, 4 years has done well for me :P. I'm 13 and I've been sniping for longer than anyone I know. :D I personally loooove sniping :P I forget where I heard this and it's kinda random but also fits the topics, In the real millitary, it takes about 10k bullest per kill with a fully auto gun. It takes one per kill with a sniper rifl. That's 3.5k as aposed to 60 cents! Snipers save lives (even though they also take em) and save money. |
You are quoting the stats from the Vietnam war regarding bullets expended per confirmed kill.
And my head is starting to ache, gonna log off before the flames start from others. |

It's one thing to shoot, good for you on that by the way, it's another to claim you are a sniper.
1. Time, which you have really a drop in the bucket compaired to most 2. Experience, again I hear that bucket a rattling 3. Age, there is only so much a 13 yr old can do. Be thankful you've been able to as much as you say you have. Again keep building on that experience, and then maybe you might grow into a better shooter, not sniper. 4. Snipers generally go through some intensive training in field crafts, cam and concealment, and more, so other than trying to avoid the lunch time monitor to get you back to your classroom I don't think you've had that training. 5. Remember the age group in which you are talking to. IE us, most have military experience or are in the military, and some have many years of actual airsoft experience, and don't try and confuse real steal with airsoft because other than appearance they are not the same. |

ShootKillReload, its nice to see that you would like to play the role of a sniper one day but you should actually read this thread and you may learn that your "imaginary lonewolf sniper" does not exist in airsoft. By the Way, welcome to ASC and don't get under anyones skin on these forums...:D |
It's fine for him to play the sniper role, and I hope he DOES do well with it against the other guys his age that he plays with. But there is a shitload of stuff to learn while playing (and chances are he'd be in a totally different world with the games we all tend to play), he at least understands various things such as dealing with BB hooking.............. really adjust your hop up lower than what gets you the maximum range, then treat it more like a real steel rifle. Hooking comes from the BB losing energy and the hop up carrying it, but that sets up a wildly variable lift differential (due to air currents, even small ones) which causes your hooking, and can NOT be predicted (unless you can see the air molecules moving, AND can also read the future as to which currents will pass the BB during it's path, and from which side). I have mine set on my 500fps M24 to about the point where a 0.30g BB will go straight out for about 150-170ft, then drop, but wind has little effect on it because I removed some of the 'hop up fuck up'. Better to use heavier BBs, but then since you are dealing with less hop up to maintain consistant shots............. and I compensate for distance by aiming higher, using my lower crosshairs on my reticle. Who taught me this? I sorted it out for myself by thinking about aerodynamics, lift generation, air movement, etc. and figured it out. Was largely fed up with wild shots everywhere past 150ft, and found this works best, which is rather counter intuitive from what hop up is supposed to be doing.
So, I CAN say that he has more knowledge on things relating to airsoft sniping than most new players, so I won't flame him, just gotta reel him in and let him add if he wants. |
