The role of the sniper isn't just about accuracy and range. There are many fully automatic rifles out there that are even more accurate than a BASR (just ask Cheese). being a sniper is also about concealment and different tactics. In fact, If a sniper didn't have concealment on his side, he would just be another "grunt" with an AEG.

I have had to use an AEG on several occasions where something happened to my rifle and/or they were all "your rifle gives you an unfair advantage, use an AEG" (which by the way is so BS). I still played the role of sniper, even though some other people had more accurate guns than me.

Another reason why the gun isn't the most important aspect of sniping is the communications. The sniper is the heart of communications. You are a scout, and you relay info to the rest of your team.

I'm not going to ramble on, but your friend's community thinks sniping is all about accuracy, when accuracy is just a tool that makes our lives easier (in airsoft).

Basically, you can't go sniping with the kind of thinking you use when you play CQB. They are two different concepts entirely, each effective in their own ways.

In time those little rambos will grow up. Well... hopefully anyway.

Bolt action sniper rifle. No problem, not all of us know these things if we never had to know them.

If your TBB gets jammed, it's because you haven't cleaned it for a while and you don't like your rifle enough to give it some high quality bbs.

I have absolutely no experience with BVs. In fact I didn't know what they were until yesterday. But I can say that I also can't stand the grinding AEG sounds. Especially the strange whirring sound my friend's gun makes when on full auto. Sounds like it's going to break any second even though it's lasted a year now. Anyway, the sound is really only a problem if you are a sniper. CQB people don't mind because what's it going to do to them if they have the loudest gun on the field? They don't need to hide themselves. Because we are snipers and we need concealment to do our jobs, We need to silence our guns as much as humanly possible. Stressing quiet guns is a good thing.

A) Skill
B) Patience
C) Queitness
D) Concealment.

Thats all I have to say.

In my opinion it is as follows:
1) Skill
2) Concealment
3) patience

You need skill to get any of these requirements in the first place. While there are times when you may not need to be concealed, it is the sniper's ultimate weapon in airsoft. You can have all the patience in the world, but if you don't conceal yourself it doesn't matter. quietness is part of being concealed, so we don't need that as one of them.

Oh okay. when you said "skill" it made me think you were talking about the player through the whole thing.
