PTE. Pyle · November 27th, 2005, 06:41

your complelty right about being new to sniper rifles but i do own an assault rifle and logicaly the only way to getting experience witha siper rifle is to get one no ?
basicaly the sniper rifle is not my first gun.
anyways seals your absolutly right for all the unexperienced guys out there they should follow this advice.
Good stuff, may the knowledge of experienced players enlighten the others !

Its stock power, pcs valve to max using propane. To become sniper the way is to find a sniper ask him a few trciks of the trade or read books. Its how I learn. Do some recon with an assault team, some scouting and finally be a spotter.

Spring or gas in the end it's a personnal preferance. Seal's m24 and my APS have about teh same performance level. He has perks on his rifle I would dream of having on mine and vise-versa. My APS has a full upgraded bolt assy from guarder with a pdi 250% spring. The pull is not to hard but does requier some doing. An other thing iwhy i chose spring over gas is the ease of maintnance of a sprng gun...the system is realy basic and can be fixed real easely and I sdon't have to worry about leaks. Both systems have their ups and downs, both do what they are desinged to do, one demands a bit more maintenance theother a bit more investment depends what you want

thx guys the information collection is building up ! my idea of a good sniper is narrowing down to m24 or aps2 ?
i like that extendable stock idea really nice!

If you extenble stcok you got 2 choice. Gas Tanaka M24, which alot at first, or spring M24 from CA whcih is cheaper but cost more to upgrade.

yeah im going more spring but what about aps2 ????

Ive seen one tweeked and its veryyyy beutiful !
which out of the 2 is better... but avoid "both have pro's and cons"
