like you said, upgrades etc
reason i'm looking at the spring SVD and not the AEG with semi/auto is the precision slow firing of a sniper
want to upgrade it to run with a CO2
the AEG, i agree can be fun for fast shooting
wouldn't an AK47 do the same?
i was thinking one shot,one kill using .30 or heavier BBs
i am just learning, discovered i have more of a preference to russian style guns
would be nice if i had 1 each basic type of russian gun on my wall

Nothing wrong with the Russian style, however Russian style is more aggressive closer range combat. They prefer maneuver warfare over long range rifle duels.
AEG gas SVD is are semi auto rifles. SVD is not a sniper rifle it is a Designated marksman rifle used to give a squad a tad more reach. Airsoft being airsoft a C02/spring rifle has a low rate of fire and not that much more range and accuracy. They all shoot the same 6mm caseless ammunition anyways. A SVD also has a longer profile when you are prone because of the shorter magazine :P
Most new players and I have done it myself will get a sniper rifle only to sell it. At the end of the maximum effective range of a airsoft sniper rifle, the kinetic energy on the bb is so light sometimes people don't feel it. So sometimes one shot one kill does not apply.
Airsoft in some ways is very different from real life combat. I could in theory easily accurize my RPK and snipe with it too. I could mount a scope on my AK-74 and say I'm a DMR. But I don't I respect the fact the squad DMR carries a longer rifle, spends more money on a good hopup, tightbore and heavy bbs.
A good sniper is more about concealment, camo, situation awareness. Most of ASC will agree with me play as a rifleman for a few years get some combat experience under your belt. Then decide if DMR/Sniper is still something you want to do.
