BigRedJ Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I've just been considering a sniper rifle, but i'm only just starting to look, most of my experience is with aeg's! so on initial looks i liek the looks of the Maruzen APS Type 96 (with a bit if tweaking) or Tanaka M700 A.I.C.S on redwolf. there arent too many review on here, just after a bit of guidance and input, I dont want to go silly budget wise etc Link to post Share on other sites
BigRedDog Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Well if you want a L96 I would recommend the A.I.C.S. It can take green gas in about any weather fine, and can even take red gas. (but please don't use that ) But a new Bestgun hop kick in your gun and you will get great results.

Mp5K Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 go with the Vsr-Gspec its simple, easy to modify, not many moving parts means not many things to break. plus its cheaper to start out with its quiet too, just pop a stronger spring etc. and ur golden, i have a friend that tricked his well over 500 easily.

Skorn Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 It isn't quite as easy as just adding a larger spring, as parts need reinforcing, but G-spec is a good choice. I am getting one Link to post Share on other sites
BigRedJ Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 oooh i recon the tanaka is winning for me.... http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/prod...sp?prodID=21369 ://http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwo...p?prodID=21369 Link to post Share on other sites
SilentSerpent Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 you asked for honest advice, so i'll give it to you. niether of the rifles you've chosen are great for a beginner sniper, mainly because they're two of the worst value rifles around. you could spend hundreds on getting a type 96 to work properly. i would reccomend a G-spec, as they are cheap, easy to upgrade, and extremely reliable, as well as being unnaturally easy to cock. however, if you're hell-bent on your choices, then i'd reccomend the Tanaka AICS, simply because it requires little or no upgrading before it functions properly, and it's a lot easier to operate than the notoriously stiff APS2 action.

MadCat360 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I just recieved my $100 UTG M324 yesterday, and it's a winner for me. After a teflon mod and a tightbore, it'll be shooting waaaayy above forum limits. Link to post Share on other sites
the_viral_phantom Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I'd say don't get either and get a Barret but they really do cost silly money,thats why i've got one ,but ye Gspecs are very good rifles but what one of the most important things about a rifle is its comfort factor.Theres no point having a rifle thats uncomfotable to use. The Gspec and Barret are very comfortable but i think the L96 isn't so you should really see what feels right for you before buying one. Thxs Viral. And pls no comments on the spelling i now its ######. Link to post Share on other sites
SilentSerpent Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 i think that's just you who doesn't like the L96 viral. IMO it's almost as good as holding a beautiful woman, except it can put .338 round through people's heads at 1500m instead of giving sexual favours. SS Link to post Share on other sites
the_viral_phantom Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 But you have over looked that my Barret can give me sexual favours. Thxs Viral. Link to post Share on other sites
BigRedJ Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 god there had to be one who mentioned the Barret! err no, i think there would be a divorce if i bought a Barret Link to post Share on other sites
Aod Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 especially considering that the 8mm gas one fires .45g bbs at about 900fps with green gas. Link to post Share on other sites
