$50 for a small tank
$100-200 for an air rig
$50 air fittings and tap
Air rigs are great for many things if your are into gas replicas or more specifically, classic airsoft. I consider it like owning a nice battery charger. Once you have gone external air you'll be able to see a huge increase in performance but KJW, like Tanakas have a complicated magazine that costs a ton to upgrade. I prefer the ARES over both but I do believe their is a clone of the ARES too. Springs are great if you are into them, gas replicas have a faster and more realistic bolt cycle. Compare external air costs to springer upgrades, ie zero trigger, spring, spring guide and whatever else you need. They are comparable in price, with springer upgrades leading slightly more in cost.
If this is your first airsoft replica, you should get an AEG and go from there. Sorry to burst your bubble but you are not the first with visions of grandeur. In reality sniping kinda sucks if you want to move around alot or are slightly impatient. Sniping takes discipline and even more skill. Actually let me reemphasize that. Sniping is 75% skill which is acquired though practice. Upgrades help a lot and even a crappy kid with an awesome gun can rock on a good day but their is absolutely no substitute for skill.
