·and thus it begins...
Seems like each 1 of You 1337 ubber Snipers (
) on here has an opinion on Gas vs Spring.
Kinda funny I was talking to guy on a TX forums and I had mentioned I wanted a CA M24. Told me that Spring(er) Rifles are unreliable / too inconsistant and other such comments.
So I thought seeing as how, from what I've seen most of you regulars are from the upper mid-west ( Mich, Ind & IL ). With the weather we generally have 'round here. What would be the best Rifle type to aquire.
Here's my thing. I have been the "Sniper" / DM for most of my time Airsofting, but hadnt seen the need or desire to have a Bolt action type of Rifle, but now I'm feeling the desire to get one. So ok some basic questions. Not based on maker but type ( Gas vs Spring ).
If the Spring Rifle is upgraded to 500+fps ( 300% spring ) what kinda pull ( lbs ) are we talking to rack the round ?
( as I would have AEX do the upgrade )
And for the Gas type is there that "pull" if it's upgraded too or is the Gas type just easier.
Remember if in a hide of sorts, racking in the next round, as little movement and effort as possible seems more effective / efficient.
other then personal preference;
M24 / M700 series standard body styles
AW-338, L96, AICS ( stock (body) ) types
Just so we're all tracking.
I'm NOT looking for a list of upgrade parts
( well not yet )....
Just wondering on which gets the best range & accuarcy
As that matters most.
