"Sniper" Gear

[FOX_111]

This is what I wear under my ghillie suit.
In the pouches I got a couple spair mags, usually 4, but can go as much as 8 depending on wich rifle I use. I also have loose ammo, food, drink, map and compas. Calculator, small binocular, range cards (prototypes for airsoft... see my sniper clinics)

I also have a secondary with 3 mags on my molle under arms panels.

This kit is light and very low profile. I keep the top of my ghillie open for aeration and accessing my gear under.

I was hoping to get a similar set-up going for myself. Out of curiosity, what type of ghillie suit are you wearing over that?

Seriously, when it comes to pistol and rifle only, your pistol should be seen as your primary (picture walking into an ambush, what would you rather fire back with, your rifle or a semi auto pistol?) and add more pistol mags to your carry rig. The rifle you can only use once in a while, but you'll rely heavily on your pistol a lot more. Trust me on this, I do it a LOT and have for years!

YES
I've rushed a lot of people with my pistol and came out alive lol
But when it's too cold for the pistol, I can still fire my VSR pretty damn fast

Im just curious on why not to use the speed loader?

Is it the noise your getting at or having to have an adaptor?

the speedloader pusher puts pressure on your nice soft plastic BBs, possibly slightly deforming them. Not an issue for an M4, but it'll make a difference in an 80 yard shot in the wind

Ever watch the movie Sniper? See where he's prepping the tips of his rounds with a nailfile to make sure they fly true? Exactly the same thing, if you force the BBs into the mag with a loader, you won't know if there are any small cuts on the surface because of the loader, the feed lips, etc. Loading the rounds in by hand reduces any chances of nicking the surface. If you get a nick on the surface of the BB, it'll catch the air as it's flying and veer off. Ya, I've used loaders in the past for quick loading rounds on the field, but you have to deal with the rattling of a half filled loader, plus being unsure that the surface of your ammo is still perfect.

do you snipers use claymore? idk if theres such thing for airsoft lol

[CDN_Stalker]

There are, but few players as it is use those things. Me, if I was to set up a booby trap, I'd use my M11A1 strapped to a tree, pointed down the trail and a trip wire set up. But that's just me.

So, i havent been able to find any more mags... any ideas? Or will i be fine if i can reload fast :P We dont have tons of guys that come out all the time, so i doubt i will use it much if i try not to, if they get close, ill back up and use the APS!

[CDN_Stalker]

Am sure you can go most of the day with just two mags for your rifle, just carry a small ziplock bag of BBs in your gear and reload/top off your mags during the quiet times. Is all I do. Besides, you have almost 50rds for it, be thankful you aren't using a KJW M700, those mags are heavy and only hold 10 each.

Alright, so I've found my pistol mags, how many do you think i should have? at least 2? I really dont mind reloading, and if worst come to worst, i can take the hit. It's only a game after all, and for the APS, ill grab 3 extra, which i think should be good.

For those posting here, what kind of style ghillie do you use? Do you mind telling me the pros, and cons of each style? I havent been able to find much on the different ones, but i think i nly want the back, and the chest ghillied.

What kind would that be?

Here's my old sniper kit for reference. Pouches on the left are custom made APS2, CA M24 and Type 96 pouch. I can double VSR mag in one pouch.

Nice, looks pretty lightweight and lowdrag, where did you keep your pistol damage? Dropleg?

Ive been looking at the KJW M700 for awhile now. You can get 30 round mags for around 80 bucks

how would you rate the KJW M700?

I've heard that Gas snipers arent as good as Spring, seeing as you cant use them in the winter. But cool none-the less
