Basically what I said... a sniper rifle has no range advantage over an AEG, it has no accuracy advantage over an AEG, and for every shot you manage to get off, your oppenents will get 30 off back at you. They end up being more accurate simply through volume of fire. A sniper rifle needs about $1,000 in parts to give it any meaningful advantage, and even then its mostly in shot consistency, not range or accuracy. Furthermore there's no autoheal or autoaim in airsoft.
Sniping is more about fieldcraft. If you can't move undetected, you're fucked. Your primary role as a sniper is recon and scouting. Most people who play snipers barely shoot, and it sure as fuck isn't one shot one kill.
Basically, if you come out to airsoft thinking its COD, you're going to get your ass handed to you very, very quickly.
