Counting Count Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I've just gotten my hands on an M14 which over a period of time I'm planning on modifying into a Springfield M21 and aside from the SR-25 and the PSG-1 is there any more Semi Auto ones out there? Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon_maximus Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Well the Asahi WA2000, nice gun a bit expensive though and much too rare And aren't the M82 Barrets also Semi-Auto in RL? I know that the Smokey Barret isn't semi, but the VFC one right? Well I guess that are all if you don't count all the Armalite-Sniper Version (SR-15/25, Match, whatever.....)

Counting Count Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Well I guess that are all if you don't count all the Armalite-Sniper Version (SR-15/25, Match, whatever.....) Hmm after the push for DMR equipment from America and other states (which the SR-15/25 and the Armaltie Match are classed as) it would stand to reason that there be a few more of them made... seems a shame as I quite like the old L1A1 DMR rifle as well as the MSG-90 and other semi auto ones, I just prefer to get a second shot of slightly quicker than a bolt action.

The Bushman Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I believe some Dragonovs are semi auto (but use AK reciever). M14 is the best semi auto to get IMO Link to post Share on other sites
NegativeCambre Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 G3 SG/1 is an accurized G3, so that probably counts. Link to post Share on other sites
CousinEddie Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 AS50 is a 50 cal. semi rifle, used by SOCOM, SEALs use it a lot. Looks awesome as well My summer project is either a WA2000 or AS50 gas semi rifle Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 And aren't the M82 Barrets also Semi-Auto in RL? I know that the Smokey Barret isn't semi, but the VFC one right? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, they are semi auto. I think the SR15 or the M21 are the bestest sniping platforms. They are both dead sexy too. You also have the Zastava (no airsoft model yet), And those Ruger things. Link to post Share on other sites
T.Ace Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Best one IMO is a star built sl9 or sl8, if you upgrade it a little then it'll be the weapon of choice for any sniper. I know fro experience Link to post Share on other sites
Angry Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 All the guns so far mentioned are full auto though that can be modified to fire semi-only. The only pure semi AEG will be the Star L1A1 when its released. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 A little listing (these are RS, look for the AS version) M14 DMR (M21) SVD Dragunov G3-SG1 PSG1 Armalite Conversion (M16 with match barrel + scope / SR-25) Barret M82 (not the M95 or M99) SIG 550 Sniper Variant G43 with scope (WW2 German SA Rifle with scope) L1A1 with Scope and Accurized barrel (rare) MSG-90 (similar to a G3-SG1) And all the other variants of basic battle rifles (theres a lot) SCAR DMR and XM8 DMR (in the possible future) 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

amsniper Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 anyone know if there is a modern German dmr version of the g36? or do they use a g3 still? - it doesnt seem like there are any decent "out of the box" weapons there? - yet another ploy to make you flash the cash me thinks! regards amsniper Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I believe some Dragonovs are semi auto (but use AK reciever). M14 is the best semi auto to get IMO <{POST_SNAPBACK}> all the dragonovs are semi auto (well, both the full length and the S) and a proper dragonov doesnt use an AK receiver. even the Zavastas (not a big fan of them) dont use an AK receiver. but the SVU (bullpup SVD) comes in a full auto varient and the VSS is select fire too.

Falcon_maximus Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 As far as I know there is no DMR G36 around. Well there are some really nice Sniper Rifles around here in Germany but none of them exists in a Airsoft version, for example a Erma SPR100 a SP66 or a DSR-1 but none of them is semi and none of them is airsoft so Greets Florian Link to post Share on other sites

Counting Count Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Its a pity there aint more dedicated Semi Auto Snipers in Airsoft, especially when you think of all the good weapons out there... still most manufacturers are setting up for the Hi C**pper and the Assault nut. I've just gotten an M14 to modify into an M21 and my local site (where I'd be using it) will allow it to rate alongside a standard Bolt action I've had the argument before that the Semi Auto is not as good as BA but at these ranges its just a case of looks... Personally I'd never class a G3/SG-1 as a DMR weapon in Airsoft, most people have them rigges for a LSW role OK, there'd be some who will actually use it as designed but that's some (and there are 4 at my site and none use it SA only). anyhow I just like Semi Auto's (and there easier being Left Handed)...

mr eagle Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 As far as I know there is no DMR G36 around. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Would'nt that be the SL8 & SL9? However is these are classed as sniper rifles would'nt the sr25's etc also be the same? Im sorry if im way off the ball. Link to post Share on other sites
The Bushman Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 it doesnt seem like there are any decent "out of the box" weapons there? - yet another ploy to make you flash the cash me thinks! TM M14 is certainly good enough out of the box for me. Link to post Share on other sites

Im sorry if im way off the ball. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no your right - but as you say the sl8/9 are sniper rifles as appossed to dm rifles. cant say id say no to one though! correct me if im wrong but a dmr is an accurised standard weapon? ie m14 =m21 m16 = sr25 etc it is a shame there are not more dm rifles available! regards amsniper Link to post Share on other sites

mr eagle Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 So a DMR is an accurised regular rifle would the H&K G3SG-1 be one? http://www.hkpro.com/g3sg1.htm Link to post Share on other sites

balberoth-the-destroyer Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 The version of the SA-80 (L85) you're referring to is the L86 LSW Light Support Weapon, and is actually more like a very light machine gun, it has a longer barrel than the 85, also a bipod, it still uses the SUSAT, and standard 30rd mags, it's used more as a light machine gun than a DM rifle (that's the official word anyway) Everyone I've ever known who used one said that it's better as a DM, because the standard mag capacity makes it difficult to use in automatic, although I personally think that it's ideal as a sort of hybrid, firing bursts to suppress at range, when the guys with 85's can only fire single shots.
