Pick start up rifle

As you want to begin your "Sniping Career", obviously you want to have a reliable "Partner", a suitable Sniper rifle.

There are basically 4 types of 6mm guns nowadays, i will sort them out based on my opinion on which are best for building an Airsoft Sniper:



1. Spring powered (BASR)
Pros : ease of operation, ease of fine-tuning, efficient operational cost, high achieveable fps, lesser noise, infinite power source (except when your spring break in half), more consistent power output (FPS)
Cons : lack of fire rate, can be hard to operate if using high powered spring, usually lower magazine capacity

2. Electric powered (AEG-DMRs)
Pros : higher fire rate (followed up shots come up faster), huge magazine capacity (hi-cap/ electric mags)
Cons : complicated electricity (duh), Smaller cylinder size which restrict longer barrel (except on psg-1s), battery can run out, more noise than spring powered one

3. Gas powered ( Greeny/ Propane/ Co2)
Pros : extreme achieveable fps, some are very silent, very easy operation, minimum maintenance
Cons : extreme achieveable fps(nobody wants to be shot with 650ish fps), small magazine capacity, inconsistent in stock form, gas runs out quickly

4. Fusion (Electric-Co2)
No info on this platform yet, since these kind of system rarely found here in Indonesia, but i will update when i get my hands on these stuff. It is said that this system produce a very consistent output even while shooting rapidly.

Summary:
I`ve had built an AEG-DMR, Gas BASR and GBBR-DMR but none of those satisfy me yet, so i stay with classic Spring BASR. For those with huge budget, u can always look for Gas BASR, if you just moved from assault role, AEG-DMR seems a wise choice, but if u prefer realism over all factor, GBBR-DMR rocks!
I will later cover all of my build and setup on each platform, so stay tuned !
