Savin' money NOW!!!

unless it uses a regulated HPA/CO2 mag, the gun will be nothing more useful than a wall hanger. Hate to say it,
-don't think this will be a good training tool as its a DMR
-Real Sword will have better finish than WE (unless they pull the cost as high as EBR)
-Real Sword will have better range and grouping than WE (unless they pull the quality and cost up)


If you think I'm a WE hater,

I use to own a WE G39E, and currently own WE M4 & M16 both Open Chamber

Everything you say is true... until Ratech gets a hold of it. I know they already have one (SVD) and have parts in prototype already.

I HPA all my GBBs ... :D

Well, goodness.
And SVD that goes *pwap-pwap-pwap* is an SVD I'd buy.

I have no doubt they have one, Johnny posted pictures of it. The biggest thing about any Gas Sniper Rifle is either being extremely efficient (Tanaka M700) or has a regulated pressure.
Since WE is neither, it will be accurate (250ft+)

And lets not forget RA-Tech Lv3 EBR cost more than every AR-15 I could think of except H&K and KAC.

You are getting screwed then. Seriously screwed as they only cost a bit more than a stock EBR.

Well, I do agree, WE guns NEED to get upgraded, that's RA Tech's "mission",but I don't know for you guys, but I prefer to pay less for a gun, and upgrade it with stuff I know, rather than having a high end gun, whose parts are nearly impossible to find!!

My 2 cents

I think I've seen you around other posts, so you might be aware that I run a WE SCAR DMR setup (semi only), and so do other guys on this forum. And as for myself, I can tell you, you can put every shot in the 20 VN Style mags on a human-sized target at 215 ft. . It's not a sniper rifle, it's a DMR, and that distance consistently, coupled with the awesome recoil, sound, feel and realism, sounds good enough to me. I don't care if the RS looks slightly better; just like all AEGs, it'll sound and feel like playing with a toy gun.
The SVD should be capable of achieving AT LEAST the performance of the SCAR.


Fox.

The SVD should be capable of performing on "par" with the SCAR but I think what Kullwarrior is trying to point out is that the RS SVD AEG is going to be more consistent on a a shot per shot basis than a GBBR from WE.

Once RA-Tech starts putting stuff out for it the internally it should be fairly decent but the WE mags aren't great at all. I've owned a few of their guns. They're fun but very much like a pink VW Rabbit covered in stars. Interesting and not for everyone.

Real sword SVD = fwhip fwhip

WE SVD = bang bang


Enough said.

The psychological advantage will be the best part.

A-freakin-MEN! And once RA-Tech comes out with upgrades it'll be WE SVD=BANG! BANG!

Most people who are running "sniper" platforms, and play that role don't much like the GBBR option.

The cycling of the action is too loud, nearly silent shots are a key advantage accruing to airsoft Snipers. One that is key to their success seeing as engagement ranges are not that much farther than a standard gun.

A GBBR SVD sounds cool.. but in practice most "serious" As Snipers won't go for it.

It'll be fine for the squad marksman role, which they're more suited for. They'll be no different than a longer AR GBBR in terms of accuracy and consistency i'm sure.

Users with an SVD would typically be running it with a squad. The potential of the SVD is maximized by using it to reach out and touch targets out of range for the rest of the squad, who may also be using noisy GBBRs. The clackety clack of the SVD firing shouldn't be too much of a handicap for anyone using it the way it was designed to be used.


Anyone wanting to use the SVD as a lone-wolf sniper platform would be best served with a Real Sword.

I'm just hoping this thing won't be priced out of their ass like other companies tend to do.

Excellent point,

It would also be appropriate for Milsim games since the real deal SVD isn't all that quiet.

Not quiet at 800 m vs not quiet at 40m is a big difference in shooter survival.

Touché

As much as I love GBBRs, using them makes you miss the quiet operation of an AEG. I can remember many occasions in games this past summer where I open up on someone with my WE PDW only to hear "It's Crunch!" and have the entire enemy squad open up on my position as a result. I never had that happen when running my C7A2 which is one of the quietest AEGs I've ever heard.

So yeah, in the DMR role, the SVD will be cool. As a sniper, not so much.

However, depending on the price, this just may be the first "sniper" rifle that I add to my collection just for its cool factor.

There's your problem. You have opted to use one of the loudest GBBR's. When I first started, I used a PDW. At the local indoor field, you could generally hear it over a hundred feet away, mixed in with all the other sounds and people yelling.

That gun is not subtle. Part of the reason I started using it again :P

All you need is a few 40mm Crunch, they use to count my rounds when I'm rocking the revolver launcher. They stop after I add three additional launchers and a handheld ones
