Rookie airsofter need help choosing rifle.
 

I am going to buy an airosft rifle, I played paintball alot and i was the sniper with the 20inch barrel. I don't know which to buy though a VSR-10 or ASP-2 SV. Would be nice if someone could help.

Range and power? Want a decent RoF too? Try an AUG. Awsum for beginners, and so many upgrades, it will last a LONG time.

I agree. Playing sniper in paintball is just playing paintball. Playing sniper in airsoft is very close to real snipers in a sence that it's one shot, longuer ranges and harder...

You better start with an AEG so you get the feeling of ranges and how things are going. Not to mention, it's cheaper to start with an AEG.

Just to let you know, a stock sniper rifle, except the gas one, won't do you any good since they are crap. You have to put a shitload of money on them to upgrade them. Mine is worth about 1500$ if not more.

If you plan on being a sniper in the futur, buy yourself a nice M16A2 to get the feeling of a long gun.

Yep you can't go wrong with the M16 A2.

go with g3SG1....this way, you can be a grunt and a sniper if you want. (just my .02)

the G3-SG1 are good. but almost every buddy will tell you about the flex.

As you were told in the post that was trashed, pick whatever you like. Nobody can decide for you.
This is like asking what kind of car you should buy; whatever you want.
Airsoft 'sniper' guns are not as fantastic as you may think, specially for a first gun.

Go to games and see what folks use. Make up your own mind.
Get age-verified too, and fill out your profile.

de-ja-vu

thanks. I thought many people would say sniping isn't right for rookies and the rifles are crap, so I got a 3 aegs to choose from now. SIg 552, Aug, MP5a4 or mp5-j (what evers better)

Curses, go FAMAS...have fun! or ignore me, but take the traditional M4.

That's four AEGs by my count. Choose whichever one you like the look of best. A4 and J are quite similar, but the A4 has a full stock. AUG can be front-heavy. That's pretty much all that you need to know.

I don't find my AUG to be front heavy at all with a battery in it.

It's an excellent choice though. I'm currently looking at a tightbore for mine (for accuracy), but I want to chrony it as is first becuase I've upgraded the spring, piston and gears and I don't wanna go over field limits.

Darn good choice there. What FPS are you getting right now?

I'm not sure yet, it hasn't been chronied by me with the upgraded gears and piston, with just the spring upgraded I was mid 300s I'm thinking by what it did to a pop can.

Keep it up and there will be no pop can left. Have fun

I was thinkin of pickn up the M4A1 RIS or th M4A1 S. Just wanted to know what evrey one would sugest.

Both of you new guys
 

Good selection of guns, take the advice Greylaocks offered adn get your ass out to a game and see whats out there and in most cases the guys will let your grope and fondle their guns and usually happy to answer all your questions to boot. The MP5s are nice guns but a little lacking in the range department compared to their longer barreled brothers but if you are a friggin ninja in teh field, u would do just fine with one (i Have 2 of them and hold my own). Try guns out first- this way you dont buy one you arent happy with and gotta sell at a loss to get something you will like.

M4 RIS or M4A1 s? I hope the latter is in refernce to TM's M4 S System in which case its a nice AEG right out of the box. I would lean towards the latter personally as its a great headstart if you are a accessory pimp - added bonus in the latter is no barrel wobble.

Hope this helps!

M249 or M60. Kick ass from the start :)

Alex why arent I suprised! Go big or go home right?

if i had the money i would buy both. but i dont :cry:

My first and only rifle is the G&P M4A1.

Love it :D

Correct.

hey guys, im new here so bare with me :D
i have also been paintballing for quite some time and i am trying to get into airsoft. Since there is no airsofting place in my town and just a bunch of random guys with airsoft guns. i think i will get an AUG because it is not too too expensive and can be upgraded easily. wise choice?

If you can say that about the AUG, you can say that about any airsoft gun.

Read a bit more about the age limitation first.

That is the one I plan to get first, but I really can't decide between R.I.S. or just the standard M4a1. I read about battery complaints with the R.I.S. and that puts me off it slightly, but it should be much more upgradable with it, correct?

How do you see yourself looking in the end? You wanna look military style, or swat style? Pick whichever gun best suits how you wanna look. That is the best way to go about it I believe, and that's how I am going about mine.
