Some questions

I've never seen any biodegradable BBs, above the weight of .28. Although, Killer Beez makes .28 biodegradable BBs. The wind will effect them a little more than a .3, but you'll still be able to utilize them effectively.

Field craft is a great thing to learn, you don't really need anything fancy to camouflage yourself, some simple rubber bands around your rifle to add vegetation, some elastic bands sewed onto your BDU's. And just having a knack for finding a good hide, it all takes practice, and patience, but this comes with the role that we play.

When it comes to painting your rifle, it's kind of a trial and error type process. Meaning you just have to try it the first time, get the feel for what you're doing, then go for broke. Just remember, that you can always paint over your last coat, which also means, paint in thin coats.

ok, thanks guys, and i already have BDUs (well, ACUs to be exact, and the only person to have camo, some sniper last game wore a red jacket!) and the rubber band thing is a good idea!

also, the elastic bands, aren't those usually white? thereby giving away my position? or should i just spray paint them?

and what would anyone suggest the first upgrade to my sniper (JG BAR 10) be? tightbore? teflon? whatever?

and i do want to do a pattern, what do people think looks coolest/blends in well?

Thanks again!

Edit: i know AEGs aren't really what you guys specialize in, but two quick things

a) would it be smart to carry an AEG rifle on a sling into battle (with no spotter)
and
b) my orange tip broke :'( ($60 m4) so, would it be smart to build a cheap silencer just to look cool, and what do i do with a Flash Hider here

Hello DarthRobby, welcome to the boards. Let me first start out by just saying that all of us here would appreciate it if you referred to your rifle as a sniper rifle, not a sniper. But to answer your questions let me tell you first off sniping is not a cheap role to play, by any standards. However if money is tight for you (I don't see how.. If your dad is a Lawyer ) but if you find yourself unable to get money, then go with an Echo 1 SOC 16 and put a scope on it, if you like the idea of firing on single fire only, and you like the more longer style of rifles, then save up money for a Maruzen, if you wish to go with a JG BAR, my advice is to just save up and buy a VSR and start putting upgrades into it.

Clones such as UTG, JG, WELL, BE, Warrior and so on have a tendency not to put much thought or care into their products, as their only shipping to the masses. There will be a few good ones, but your chances of receiving a good solid piece at the end is about a 20% chance, this is why we encourage the newer players to stay away from these weapons, and go with something that you know will never let you down.

Also, like Oakey had said, .28's is about the heaviest bb you'll shoot that carries a biodegradable amount, bb's really don't cause anything bad to the environment, if anything they'll just make the ground look a bit brighter (Pending on how many you shoot in a set area, of course) but overall it's not that big of a deal to shoot a few rounds, I've never heard of a bird or squirrel choking on one and dieing, as they are fairly small, however I'm sure there is reasons.

Anyways, Dutton has the right idea with paint, ask your dad to take you to Home Depot and get some Krylon ultra flat colors, Tan, OD Green, and Brown should be your base colors, to do a scheme practice on a piece of poster board or cardboard first, so you don't end up ruining your weapon with a crappy job, first off you want to base coat in tan, as this is the lightest and hardest to cover things up with, then take leafs/natural vegetation in the area and place it over the item, then you spray the OD Green or Brown onto the weapon.

Because you chose the JG BAR 10, I'd suggest going to google or Youtube and typing in "How to upgrade a JG BAR 10". There is a relatively simple modification you can do to make your weapon shoot in the 500's, however because JG's use a lot of plastic, don't expect your trigger assembly to hold up too long with that. But with that in mind I'd suggest your first upgrade be a tight bore, as it won't put any stress on your cylinder over what is already there but you will see a little more power and accuracy (Tighter Groupings)

Finally, I see your spelling is good, but ensure that you capitalize your words as well as hit the spell check button before you post, enjoy your stay on the boards mate, we've got a good group of guys here.
