Sniper Rifle

[Avenger]

My idea of sniping is to camoflauge myself in a poition to cover a trail, objective, etc., and eliminnate small tropp movement and notify my commander of large troop or vehicular movement.

So get and build a quiet and lightweigh aeg. It's not like you need the range for recon at all.

[Avenger]

I could do that, except I want a sniper rifle or an LMG.

Alright then, just to demoralize this thread.

Lets do what you say.

Unique rifle: 200-400$. Lets say 300$
Upgrades for rifle: 400-600 depending on the rifle, lets go 400$
Externals: 200-300$. You need mags that dont rattle for +1 Sneak, a nice scope to see as far as your bb may travel and for scaning, and a bipod right? 300$

So for the rifle: 1000$ Easy.

Now, lets get all sniperful!
Ghillie wrap for rifle: 30-50$, plus 1 DIY Time Ticket (Like maybe hour, 2 hours)
Personal Ghillie: 100$, and 2-3 DIY Time Tickets
Sighting in rifle, fine tuning hopup, getting used to the bolt/workings: 5 DIYTT
Finding the right BB and making sure all the parts are working: 50$ 2 DIYTT
Buying parts that have broken or dont work: (your new, its gonna happen) 100$

Total so far: 1300$, 11 DIYTT

But wait, we have to communicate with the commander here!
New GOOD Radio: 50-100$
Headset: 10-30$
Getting used to it and programing it: 1 DIYTT

And now, the hardest part to get down.
Experience using and shooting rifle: 10 DIYTT
Experience hiding and moving with ghillie suit: 15-20 DIYTT


So lets see here, to be what you want is estimated to be somewhere around 1405$ and 42 DIYTT (which in FelixSpeak something like 63 hours?)

Become a DM, its cheaper. Your not going to be able to fork out At the LEAST 1000$ and the knowledge for fixing it all together.
It takes a lot of time and a lot of work, more hours that money by a long shot. Ask some of the resident Bolt Action guys about it.

Haha, thanks Steevo.

I didnt even include the amount of work it takes to get used to 20 pounds of a gun, and to keep that quiet, and to find all the propietary parts involved, or even show up to games, pay field fee, buy bandages for when your lit up, getting a team, becoming a good steady shot by steading the rifle and control breathing for those super duuper long shots you want to make, and finding a place to get all this together.

Buy a VSR, be happy with lightweight and good. Hell buy Revs, its upgraded and ready to go for a very cheap price. All you gotta do is get your ghillie together and start practicing!

[Gambler]

The part about the gun being big and intimidating is silly. If you do your job they will never see your gun.

[Felix]

^ exactly.

Big and intimidating is cool for off the field. On the field your the guy that chills in the base because its too heavy to carry around
