Dinendal, since you've never been around airsoft, here's a little reality check to help you with your decision:

Fields in Quebec and Ontario generally have a limit of 400 FPS for AEGs and 450 FPS for bolt action sniper rifles. Practically, the 50 FPS difference works out to maybe what, about a 20 meter range increase, maybe? (I know it's debatable, but average and ballpark...)

Now, armed with your ~15-20m advantage, if you're really proficient you'll be lucky to get off one shot per second (remember the spring is now upgraded and is now harder to cock). The guy on the other side (and he probably has buddies with him) is putting out ~700 RPM, or about 11 rounds per second. He doesn't need to be that accurate, he has volume on his side.

I strongly recommend an AEG as a first gun.
