Be prepared to gag at the price!

There's no such thing as a perfect sniper rifle, it's all down to personal preference and circumstances.

I use a spring Tokyo Marui G-Spec, and a spring Warrior L96.
The G-Spec kicks about 330fps, and the L96 closer to 470, but has a harder pull on the bolt and is more cumbersome.

You do know why I suggested it right? Any dedicated Colonial Marine should. :wink:

I'm going to suggest because it's the one in the tech manual or based!

Beg my non-gun wisdom!

Cheers

Get a Barret .50 Cal - M82, I think it's called.

I believe it's the weapon a USMC sniper used to achieve the record for longest distance on a sniped shot (over 2,000 yds, IIRC).

Or if you're playing a Brit, consider an L96.

The record was held by GySgt. Hathcock with a M2 at about 2250 yrds. The new record is about 200 yrds farther. Barret has a new rifle that shoots a new round .416 I believe. It can hit a target at 2500 yrds cold shot. (first round hits)

Don't mean for the slight hijack but-

The new record is 2,657yds... and is held by a Canadian. :wink:

And yes, the Sniper Rifle in the Tech Manual is based off of the WA2000. 8)

So this is going to be for Airsofting for you Callum?

That make's him a North "American" :-)

Although the best shot on video I've seen was a friend of mine. He took out an Iraqi motar observer with a TOW. He looked through his sight via his camera. Shot was about 2000 yrds. It did end the motar attack.
