That's my point. Where do you draw the line for what info get's devulged and what doesn't? You wouldn't be able to restrict access to the section. I think it would be great for posting up general info so that players interested in sniping can have a little peek into it. Just enough to wet their whistle so to speak. |
Exactly my idea of having a section pertaining to the airsoft sniper. There is only one way to see how dedicated one is.......thats called "the sniper Boot camp".........
part of the Sniper Creed is, Though Shall not disclose tricks of the trade......... |
Yeah it was a bit of a rhetorical question. Like I'd mentioned originally, too many people out there seem to think that "sniper" is just about a bolt action rifle and a ghillie suit.
And even if it
was, you still have guys with PSG-1s, G3/SG1s, SR-25s, SR-15s, SPRs, HK94/SG1s, SL8/9s and SVDs... and while they may be restricted to lower FPS limits on the field (and lets be honest here, the extra 50 FPS doesn't exactly give you a huge range advantage) would they be excluded from the sniper role?
I've seen people snipe with stock AEGs. And they were good. They were scary. They were stealthy, they could move like the wind, they had the discipline to move after taking one or two shots (instead of getting greedy), and they knew their weapon well enough to put shots on targets and not take shots they couldn't make. IMO half of "sniper" is fieldcraft.
Guns do make up an important part of it, specially in airsoft since most guns require so much work to become accurate and consistent. But too many people coming into it seem to think that just getting a BA rifle and upgrading it to 450 fps will make em an instant sniper.
So IMO maybe the section should be expanded, not only to cover some of the sniper basics, but also include sharpshooter/designater marksman roles, and maybe even spotters (if you want to cover milsim, given how so many sniper wannabes are so keen on going out and being lone wolves).
