How to be a Top Airsoft Sniper - One Shot, One Kill!


There are several crucial elements in becoming a top Airsoft sniper. Having the proper equipment is one of the most important but also having skills in camouflage, escape and evasion and target acquisition are even more crucial to winning skirmishes as an airsoft sniper. We will touch on some of the basics in the following article to help newbie airsoft gamers get a primer into the world of sniping.

As equipment goes, your first step will be to get a good rifle. A good Airsoft sniper rifle should have a muzzle velocity of at least 400fps. Any less than this and you won't have the firepower to make the long range kills, and your job as a sniper will be rendered useless in battle. There are lots of styles of sniper rifles but a spring rifle be the best choice, hopefully a bolt action as they will be the most consistent. An electric gun will tend to wear down the gearbox faster with a higher fps spring and are generally less accurate, a gas gun is fine, but you have to take into account cool-down effect and the effect of the temperature on the rate of expansion on the gas, that may therefore affect the fps, range and accuracy.

The next piece of equipment that is essential to becoming a proficient sniper is a high quality scope. Bushnell makes very good scopes. A 3-9x40 is a classic choice. Bipods are extremely helpful in assisting with accuracy in case you don't have a good location to brace your weapon with a pack or something similar. If you're already into the world of airsoft games you will most likely have a good set of camouflage fatigues, but as a sniper, you will need to get a ghillie suit. A ghillie suit allows you to place natural foliage, grass, branches, etc into the suit so you can blend into your surroundings. They can be purchased from they resources listed at the bottom of this article.

Other gear that you will need include a second sidearm, preferably a good quality airsoft pistol. Having a handgun will allow you to survive if ever you are spotted and cannot use your sniper rifle as protection. Binoculars, radio system, body armour, high quality ammunition are some of the other essentials to your sniper kit. Learn how to use it all so you won't be at a disadvantage when you're in battle.

If you're going to be on long creeps, for hours at a time, include food and water in your pack, but don't leave any evidence such as wrappers or bottles on the field. Nothing will give you away easier than your old trash that you forgot to pack. You must learn the art of stealth. Move slow be sure to watch the enemy. This is the most important step! You must take the time to study your environment. Instead of seeing things as trees or bushes, think of them as a good hiding place or a fallback point. Become comfortable in all situations and weather conditions. You must know how to snipe in woods and open fields, hills and trees. Also, become familiar with changing you ghillie suit to adapt to terrain.

While airsofting, stay low and move slow is the sniper motto. Set up an ambush or pick off advancing enemies. The best position for a sniper is prone which keeps you hidden the most, however crouching is an alternative in very dense areas. Standing up is when you are a more obvious target. Don't reveal your whole silhouette, profiles are harder to see. Always have an escape route planned ahead of time, so you can get away if by chance you are spotted.

This should give you a good start on becoming a top airsoft sniper. The best thing you can do is practice these skills when you're not in a real battle, so you're ready for the next real skirmish you're invited to join. With a little practice, you'll be making kills from long ranges, and have the opposition wondering how they just got shot.

Airsoft Gun Reviews - How to Use Them to Find Great Guns


When you will do your first research and read the first airsoft gun reviews you will notice immediately that the airsoft guns are categorized in 3 different kinds: spring airsoft guns, electric and gas fired guns.

Spring airsoft guns use a spring to fire the BB and usually are less expensive since they don't use gas or electric power to function They are great if you're an amateur or new to airsoft. But keep in mind that you will have to cock and re-cock the slider each time you shoot. Spring airsoft guns aren't automated or semi automated; they also are only good for 10 feet shooting ranges. The have pretty good accuracy and fps (feet per second) rate but it all depends on the weight of the BB used. While browsing airsoft gun reviews in order to decide which spring gun is best for you, you will probably find many enthusiasts on one side, and others saying it's a newbie gun on the other. In my opinion they are both right, most spring guns are great for newbies, easy to use and maintain.

Gas powered airsoft guns, also called GBB, get power from gas inserted in the target of the airsoft gun. The gas can be bought separately in the shape of tin cans (resembles a lot to an aerosol can). A number of these use what is known as "green gas", which is generally less expensive than (although just as efficient as) CO2. Gas powered airsoft guns are not for amateurs because they are harder to handle and care for. Gas guns are at least semi auto and usually are more durable. But they shot harder, so they can be more painful for your enemies. There is one important thing to keep in mind regarding to gas airsoft guns: you may always need to use the right sort of gas as it will damage the gun and could cause harm to yourself. So, when going through airsoft gun reviews for gas guns, check out how expensive is the gas you are going to use to power it.

Electrical guns use batteries to draw power from. Usually, a gun will need 4 batteries -- chargeable batteries are recommended because they don't last long. When it comes to electric guns, available models can be separated into two subcategories: low-powered and high-powered. Low-powered guns are usually only rated at speeds up to 200 fps. High-powered guns, commonly known as AEGs, can shoot faster, some reaching speeds of 400 fps or more. Both types are usually capable of semi-auto and full-auto fire. AEGs are considerably more expensive than their low-powered counterparts. If you are a beginner or an amateur player, low-powered weapons are a good choice without having to break the bank to get equipped. But if you're competing in military-themed games, more power can make a huge difference. Electric guns normally have the highest rate of fire making them very popular choices as assault rifles, submachine guns, and pistols. The more expensive a model costs, will typically indicate the quality of how the gun was manufactured, as well as how well the gun will shoot, so read airsoft gun reviews before deciding to not purchase a model just because it seams much expensive then the other types, most of the times it can be a great deal for you.

Tokyo Marui AK47S Airsoft Gun Review


It's important that you get a gun that suits your play style, so shop around and make sure you get the right one for you.

I personally use a Tokyo Marui AK47S. I have always preferred the looks of the AK to the M16, but I found the full stock AK47 to be a little on the heavy side for my quick play style. The obvious solution was the AKS: it has the same barrel length and internals as the standard AK but with a collapsible stock, making it shorter, lighter and therefore superior for close combat.

* Type: AEG

* Power: Electric

* Body: Full metal and wood

* Fps: 270

* Magazine: 2 x mid cap

What I love most about the gun is that it is probably the most powerful weapon you can use in one hand - this has been invaluable for my play style, as I can carry an objective in one hand and a full assault rifle in the other.

It's almost entirely metal, making it look the business. It also has a great metallic 'pop' when you fire it.

Unfortunately the foldable skeletal is fairly weak. I have lost a screw out of it at the moment and it feels like a good hit could bend it out of shape. I'm seriously considering removing the stock from the rifle to prevent any accidental damage.

Despite its small overall size, the AKS has one of the longest barrels in Airsoft, making it highly accurate. It also handles great - for a full assault rifle the gun is short and light and doesn't have that 'cheap' feel.

I have 600 round high-caps as standard, meaning you can lay down a monstrous amount of fire, but while the standard AK has room for a fat battery in the stock, the AKS has to hold a smaller one in the main body. This means batteries run out faster and the rate of fire is slightly lower.

It's a common theme that Airsoft players are never happy with what they've got and I'm no exception :)

I plan to replace the spring to up it's firepower, raising it's average fps (feet per second) of 270 to around 320 fps.

Pros:

* Great build quality

* Short and light

* Long barrel makes it very accurate

* A powerful gun that you can use in one hand

* Great sounding!

Cons:

* Weak skeletal stock

* Small handle/stock screws can become loose

* Slow fps

* Limited battery space

As you can see the cons are fairly minor and can all be made good. This is a great gun and it holds up well in a wide range of Airsoft games.

What Do I Need to Start Playing Airsoft?


If you might be reading this, you are considering playing airsoft. As with most sports, a specific quantity of tools is needed so as to perform. For that airsoft novice, the diversity and sheer sum of items accessible might be considered a bit overwhelming. To create items a tiny clearer.!. here's a 'quick-start gear guide' I've compiled, based on my personal expertise inside the sport.

Whether or not you intend to perform simulated close-quarter fight ('CQC') in an enclosed complicated or interact in long field treatments outdoors, you will find a couple of objects of gear that are mandatory. The 1st of which, and positively essentially the most crucial, may be the use of correct deal with defense.

You have possibly observed YouTube clips of airsoft people wearing tiny a lot more than eyeglasses although getting in airsoft fight. Should you care about your teeth or capacity to see, this is really a huge 'no-no.' Full-face safety is really a should, and that indicates fully-sealed airsoft goggles with lenses constructed of both impact-resistant plastic or steel mesh, coupled with possibly a mouth guard or full-face safety (you will find a number of firms which creation cost-effective airsoft 'all-in-one' masks which permit for self-contained head and neck safety)!!! normally journey at speeds anyplace from 300 to 500 ft per 2nd (and up!), which can be definitely sufficient velocity to trigger irreparable harm to one's vision and teeth. Appropriate face-gear is really a should, not just to defend the player, but also to heighten one's performance and enjoyment of the game. Bottom-line, encounter defense, as nicely as gloves and impact-absorbing clothing (BDU's and tactical gear supply satisfactory defense, despite the fact that a thick sweat-shirt too will suffice), really should be an aspiring airsoft player's 1st priority and original investment.

Now on for the enjoyable stuff, and this indicates one's option of airsoft weaponry. With so several accessible towards the global airsoft online community, which a single will very best suit you? Following taking into account the ft per 2nd cap at your local airsoft facility (most indoor locations will permit gamers only to make use of airsoft weapons shooting at 350 FPS or much less, although their outdoor companions permit typically for 100 FPS above that), one's selection of weapon nonetheless remains open. Your 1st buy nevertheless will most probably however be your 'main' gun: which is the gun with which you will interact within the majority of airsoft perform, and 1 which given the world-wide airsoft communities' present leaning will most probably be an electrical air gun (that is 'AEG' to those of you who've now tried your sunglasses with correct airsoft eye safety - just generating positive that you are paying attention)!!!

Electrical air weapons have a tendency to possess an intimidating rate of fire as properly as substantial and efficient vary, each of which will permit the beginner to compete successfully. Furthermore, AEGs are simple to energy, and with the quantity of you will most probably be initially sending down-range (because beginning people are traditionally seldom economic with regards to their trigger-finger), airsoft electrical weapons are also cost-efficient.

As in real-life fight, you will most likely will need a sidearm. An airsoft C02 or gas blow-back pistol is usually the preferred option, as they effortlessly put a number of rounds on target in swift succession. These sidearms are excellent replicas of their real-life counterparts and supply a good degree of 'realism'.

A excellent sidearm will also enhance the kinds of airsoft games you are able to take part in, whether or not the occasion be described as a 'pistol night' or the ever-growing-in-popularity 'zombie shoot'. AEGs typically are banned from the latter events, simply because, nicely, it appears rather unfair to hose down the good-natured people who've chosen to be unarmed zombies with hundreds of rounds from a hard-hitting AEG. You will want an airsoft pistol so as to take part in both activity, as nicely as to extend your 'life-expectancy' in CQC.

Airsoft FPS - What Does it Mean


When buying an airlift gun, there are a few things you need to take into consideration. Weight, accuracy, color, design and FPS.

Now, if you are a computer gamer, FPS would normally mean First Person Shooter, but in the world of Airsoft, it is a figure that lets you know how powerful the gun or pistol is. FPS stands for "Feet Per Second" and lets you know how far and how fast the BB pellet will travel once fired. The higher the number, the faster and further the BB will travel.

Each weapon will have a rating and depending on what kind of gun you are buying, they will vary from less than 100 to over 300. The higher rated guns will most likely be sniper rifles or more professional guns.

The type of Airsoft gun you get will also have a bearing on what the FPS rating will be. Electric and spring loaded guns will have a lower FPS, but the compressed gas guns will have the highest. This is purely down to the mechanics of how the gun fires and is operated, nothing more than that.

So, when choosing your air soft gun, look for the FPS. If you want to shoot longer distances with more power, go for the higher rated weapons. If you are only using it at home, chose the ones with less power. It all depends on what you will be doing with the gun, where you will be using it and what you expect it to do. A low power gun will be perfect for hitting tin cans in your back yard.
