What weapons should I spend my money on? - New to Airsoft- - General

Hello there fellow airsofter, I need counseling on which weapon to decide on and buy. So far I've seen the L96 in action, tons of spring action bb guns and several videos by scoutthedoggie. I aspire for a accurate sniper rifle, preferably bolt action/spring with a decent range. (I am open to suggestions on other snipers, but no Electric ones, those are outta my price range) A light handgun (I have a Desert Eagle Paintball gun, gorgeous piece of craftsmanship but with the weight of depleted uranium) I fancy a blow back gas-powered one. Post your suggestions, maybe even your own load out, which obviously is one of a sniper.

You really do not want a sniper rifle. At all. It takes a ton of money to get it to compete with AEGs in terms of accuracy and range

Well here's the issue, snipers are the most expensive item to make worth using. Most setups for them cost over $1000 to be considered decent, and even then are generally less useful than an electric rifle. My SVD, which I use as a marksman's rifle, has cost me over $1000, and I haven't even touched the insides of it yet(although they only need a little bit of work). If you're looking into the cheap spring sniper rifles, prepare to be disappointed.

For gas blowback pistols, I fully 110% recommend TM, KSC or WA over any other brand.

I'm going to disagree (somewhat) with the majority and say that bolt-action rifles aren't worse than electric rifles. They use many of the same parts, after all. But that means the bolt isn't any better, and any upgrades to a bolt could be done to an AEG. The advantages of the bolt are that it's very quiet, has instantaneous trigger response, and is allowed a higher FPS at most fields- the first two of which require skill and experience to utilize properly, and the latter of which requires extensive modification to make use of. Don't start with a bolt. It's a bad idea. Start with a G&G Combat Machine if you want an M4 or a CYMA if you want an AK, and work your way up from there.

You can start off with an M4 and later start modifying it into a DMR, like I did.

They're not worth starting out with. also: [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/b2MqEw.png[/img]

we really need to make a new sticky

Get a cheap DMR or something. It's electric and they look like sex with a scope.

DMR can be cheap, doesn't need to be special. Any cheap AEG with a long barrel, toss in a tightbore and better hop-up bucking and nub, get a spring for 400fps, switch to lipo for faster trigger response and some sort of scope and you're good.

If I were you, I'd buy a decent AEG.

So, does only one company make a TT33?

so far yeah until kwa releases (hudson) but wrong thread
