Now for another question, all you experienced snipers out there that have thrown $1000+ into there guns, with all those upgrades and the gun it self , wouldnt it make it unusable because on how powerful the gun would be after all that? Thats something I dont understand , and another , what do you guys mean "certification" , you have to be certified to use a sniper rifle?

When we put a lot of high quality parts into our rifles, it's not to increase the fps or the "power" of it to the point you can't game with it, the parts are to make the gun reliable, consistent, accurate and to increase the effective range.
You don't...
need a certification to use a sniper rifle, but with a certification, it proves that you have been certified to be able to handle the weapon safely.
I know for alot of fields you need certification to be able to run a sniper rifle.
For example: If you showed up to a game with a 500fps rifle, and no certification that shows you can handle it safely, you most likely won't be allowed to use it. Sometimes the field will test you on your knowledge of estimating distance... because you need to know you MED well in order to use a rifle safely.
The point of the sniper courses is safety, so if you're new to the world of airsoft sniping, these courses are highly recommended.
