okay tell me about spring sniper rifles

[rugia]

my and my friend blake were thinking about getting some spring sniper rifles for upcoming games and events ect.
as far as i know they are reliable and inexpencive to upgrade
it would help if i you guys gave me sum info on the guns tell me if they break and how often they break and if a super 9 can be upgraded

[frijoleluna]

it would be better to get a gas KJW MK1 Sniper rifle. they are cheap (under $100) and fire 450+ fps. i have one and love it.

you would not need to modify it either, so it's the cheapest and best route for a sniper.

There is no telling how a long before a gun breaks. But super nines are cheap crappy guns dont get one. If you want a cheap sniper get the one Ben is talking about.

[rugia]

so im guessing that spring rifles arent that good ?

i was thibnkg about getting the super 9 and maybe a really good gas pistal like a mk1
500 fps average wow

No, Spring snipers are good but you have to pay alot of money get get a nice one. Atleast $500. Super nines suck. I have had first hand experience, they are cheap, unreliable, and really unupgradable. The MK1 is an average of 400fps. Not 500fps. I dont know what sight that told you that but it is horribly exaggerated. Rugia, if you want to have a good gun, there is really not very many instances where cheap and reliable and high fps are used in the same sentence. The best deal on a sniper is what frijjole was talking about. A NICE, RELIABLE, UP TO PAR, gun will cost you around $250 and up. Now there is always the echo 1 aeg's that are $150 supposedly they are decent. But they havent been out long enough to tell if they are reliable. I can give you this advice, cheap and high fps=crappy airsoft gun, stay away from the following brands, CMYA,MATRIX, UTG, BE, DOUBLE EAGLE, AND ANYTHING THAT SAYS LPEG. There are many brands that claim to shoot many diffrent fps levels, 75% are full of B.S. I think your best bet would be an SRC brand gun. They are cheaper but supposedly they are reliable. If your on a budget a sniper is not the way to go. Best thing to do is research and read some CUSTOMER reveiws, not the one they post of the websites that sell them. Airsoftretreat.com has very good information and reveiws on these things. Go take a look there.

EDIT* UPGRADED AIRSOFT GUNS ARE TIME BOMBS SOMETIMES THEY LAST FOREVER SOMETIMES THEY BREAK EVERY WEEK. MOST OF THE TIME, ALL AIRSOFT GUNS BREAK EVERY FEW MONTHS OR SO, AS MEHIL SAYS, YOU CANT EXPECT IT TO WORK AND TO SHOOT BB'S.

I second almost every bit of that

I have run the gambit on spring rifles. I also caught hell from my VSR-10. Here's the deal...as mentioned earlier, it's gonna require a Frakton of money to get it to be A) Quasi reliable and B) Capable of shooting accurately worth a crap. If you have the illustrious dream of being an elite sniper contracted for the most important shot of his or her life...forget it. Airsoft sniping is 10% shooting and 90% overwatch. If you don't know what that means, then you're definately not yet ready to snipe. Additionally, Super9's are crap. I believe UTG just put out a rifle that's a clone of the ASP. Although, I've not seen the clone, I have been pegged tons by a teammate that has maruzen one.

I hope this doesn't discourage you. If you want to be the best airsoft player around...listen to the guys that have been involved for a while...trust me, just like relationships or marriage, you're not origninal. Your skills are not special, neither is your gun. We've all walked these roads or will at some point.

If you want Rugia, I have an Airsoft Elite ICS MP5 SD5 i will sell you. It's a good AEG and I think you would do well to have it. $200 if you're interested.

I didn't get a chance to play with you last Sunday at the Birmingham field, but I will be there this weekend. i will have the gun with me if you want to look at it.

[rugia]

only problem is i have two big big problems hindering my ability to get a good gun first is the fact that my mom wont let me have a gun that is not clear now this is not to big of a deal becouse i can just leav it at my dads house(i really dont wanna do that becuase i will go thru withdrawel and be depressed for 2 weeks )secondly is the mony factor i want to get a good gun but i can only effectivly save up 60$ atleast intel i commit my summer to getting a job
what i really want (and i know this is probubly imposable)is a good clear and affordable gun maybe 300 fps the uhc sniper s-9 thing i was gunna get is 280fps 60$ and cool lookin it fits most the catagorizes becouse my aeg is only 200 fps any one have any advice

Save your money until you cant get a good gun. Its just better that way. A clear gun will never be defined as good in any way shape or form. You wont find a good gun for $60 period. Not good enough where you will be effective in our games. If you played will other guys with cheaper guns and spring guns then you definalty could. But with us a $60 dollar gun is just gonna get you powned. So I would use what you have until you save up enough to get at least an echo-1 Aeg. Until then learn how to be stealthy. Joseph a guy that plays with us has a good gun now but, played with a spring pistol for a long time against us and our good guns and he had many many kills with it cause we play in the woods and he was really stealthy. So save your money and work on your rock throwing, cause thats gonna be way more effective than your guns.

they dont make good clear guns, you might want to buy an assload of clips for your shotgun

[rugia]

;Div come to a good legit sulotion i will buy a m14(fps400 very sturdy reliable gun and maybe a little clear revolver for fun at home its all at evike .com)
this will work that is intel i can get some more mony

[electricblu]

dont keep buying guns, stay with the one you have and save up your money for a good gun
