TheAndyMan Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Im looking to buy a sniper for up to about 330 Euro. I was thinking about either the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 G-SPEC or the Cybergun version of the Mauser PRO Tactical but I dont know which one is better. If someone could tell me which one is better or if they could suggest a better one I would really appreciate it thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
teflon don Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 im a good sniper but buying people is illegal and i would cost a hell of a lot more than 330€ avoid cybergun like the plague (in general) and the mauser pro (in specific) its a cheap chinese gun the trigger mechanism will break and and the stock bends when you pull the bolt and the plastic is from such a poor qualtiy that it breaks under normal use and its not based a real gun buy a jing gong bar 10 its just as good as the vsr 10 only cheaper you also should have a good barrel and a heavier spring and maybe some more upgrades Link to post Share on other sites
MovementUnderDarkness Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I was going to leave a similar comment, I hate the term "Sniper" when infact people mean the rifle, i.e. a Snipers rifle Link to post Share on other sites
Bladerider Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Your in Ireland mate and will have NO advantage over any gun on the field but all the disadvantages of a boltie. Mod an m4 into a dmr style weapon so at least you have a full auto option when playing against the spray and pray folk. The JP rifles style front sets look very nice.

Lajjvo Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 If you like to sneak around in a ghillie-suit I would recommend a bolt-action rifle, preferably the Jing Gong bar-10. Upgrade to a VERY good barrel, PDI, EdGi or Prometheus and a good bucking. Make it as air-tight as humanly possible and make it silent. With the correct style of play and some 0,30g bb's you'll have a very capable setup. If you don't want to sneak around, get a long barrel AEG and do the same mods to this one. Very good barrel, bucking and air-tight, and don't forget to make it silent. With these mods you'll have a good advantage on the field. Link to post Share on other sites
Wild_XIII Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 For any bolt action sniper I personally would recommend the Warrior MB-06. A lot of people don't like how it looks but personally the whole set up feels far more comfortable to me than normal boltie stocks. They come with a velocity reducer so out the box you're looking at 280 FPS, with the reducer removed (take the bolt out and unscrew it from the nozzle, it's that easy!) you get about 430 FPS. They have phenomenal range without any mods and are fairly accurate, usually a barrel clean and some barrel spacers help a lot. I shot someone from about our sites MED (30 meters) and they said they couldn't hear the shot, they only felt the round hit them. On top of all of that, they're dirt cheap for what they are.

farrasdevell Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 i have seen some reasonable action from the MB06 with some fettling. One of my site snipers is a crack shot and it is a whisper quiet rifle. If only the hop unit was bang on and the trigger box not made of cheese it would be my top recommendation for an otb spring rifle. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Guys, the OP is in Ireland, where the FPS limit is 328fps with a 0.2g bb for ALL airsoft guns. Build an AEG DMR. Easiest way to go about it. Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 IN that case definitely go with the TM VSR or build an aeg dmr. Link to post Share on other sites
The Bushman Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Perhaps VSR G-SPEC and go for pure silencing, run it at 328fps and use 0.28g. I have used a factory standard one and found if you shoot at moving targets they rarely notice your shots unless it hits something close to them. I shot alot of people with it. I carbined the rear of the stock, as I am a small chap and makes it better for crawling about etc I suggest that the most practical gun for sneaking around, is the TM MK23 NBB pistol, with silencer, on green gas using 0.30g pellets or SGM if you are loaded. I just use 0.30g lol. You can get long range hits and its quieter than a G-SPEC plus semi auto (if you don't cock the hammer for each shot.) Honestly, the MK23 is the way to go. Keep it factory standard and just invest in mags, pellets and gas with a good belt kit. The MK23 is designed to be a primary and it is certainly capable of that, if you play right. Have a second GBB pistol on your belt too to repel people assaulting you. Go as light as possible and be prepared to exploit the advantage of crawling with a pistol. This might not be the answer you are looking for, but with your sites restrictions to 328fps; it is the most practical option; in my experience. Good Hunting Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Mega out of the box, but I reckon a P90. has all the makings of a great DMR/electro-sniper. Its quiet, compact, accurate and has great range. Link to post Share on other sites
Lajjvo Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 P90 IS a very good choice indeed. A few years back when I started my airsoft career there was a guy at a local field who ran with a bone stock TM p90. That gun had awesome range and accuracy. With a tightbore, good hop-up and a nice lipo it will be a very good alternative to say a VSR-10. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Any AEG with a drum style hop-up will do well. P90, AUG, G3, SIG, G36 - though the P90 is a good choice for being compact and having a very sturdy internal arrangement to hold the inner barrel in place. G3s are great, but you NEEEED to have a metal one or the body flex ruins accuracy. M16s can be good, but it is VERY dependant on the hop-up unit. Pro-win style drum hop-ups are good.

TDS Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 You could rent me for 330 euro, but purchasing me is a bit much. Link to post Share on other sites
Lightbulb Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Just a note on the P90. I once thought about getting one. Held a friends and 5 minutes later swore off them. Just didn't feel comfortable to shoulder and use. Try to hold anything before you buy one. Link to post Share on other sites

K I 7V G Z Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Has any one seen a p90 turned into a snipers rifle? Link to post Share on other sites
thre3aces Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Has any one seen a p90 turned into a snipers rifle? P90??? Don't they have short barrels so... Is it really the best choice for a sniper? Sent from my mythical enchanted asynchronous 3VO Link to post Share on other sites
Lightbulb Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 VSR G-Spec has a 300mm barrel - thats getting towards CQB length. P90 is 247mm. Hop quality has more to do with range (after pure power). For Ireland you're limited to 330 (350?) so VSR is probably the most accurate gun you can get - just keep it stock. ----- Not possible to turn a P90 into what I would call a sniper rifle. DMR, maybe. Converting a P90 to a ultra quiet DMR is not something I would recommend for a beginner but it could probably be done... If I wanted a short semi auto sniper thats almost silent I would go with a TM mk23 socom. ----- For an AEG? Well anything really. TM m14 socom would be my choice for a DMR though.

gisburn20 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 TM M14 socom is a great bit of kit as a DMR, but very heavy compared to most platforms. I have seen a couple of P90's with longer barrels (covered with silencers) but they looked cumbersome , P90's are also very much an aquired taste. A "marmite" gun , you either love them or hate them, I find the heavy trigger to be annoying (I mostly used my P90 for quick double taps / semi only CQB) and the mags awkward to carry. Since I fitted my M4's with Madbull ultimate hops my TM M14 has been relegated to the loft, the range difference wasnt worth the extra weight. A well setup hop is the key to range and accuracy.

scorch Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 What rubber/nub pairing are you running in the Madbull ultimate hops? I am looking to upgrade my M4 hop. The stock one has about hit the end of its useful life. Link to post Share on other sites
gisburn20 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Both have madbull blue rubbers with h nubs. Working well but a tight fit in the hop assy and had to trim a few mm off the length of the rubber to get the c clip on. They dont like real cold weather (-5c sucked) but paired with guarder 0.28's they're damn good. Jim Link to post Share on other sites
