Spring Rifles:
-Less Stuff to worry about (No need for gas/leaks in the field)
-More consistant (Only one medium, and that's the spring, with a solid spring, you've got a 100% consistancy everytime)
-Quieter (No gas leaving the barrel)
-Overall better choise

Gas:
-The Closest thing to real steel when working properly (Recycling the bolt with one finger, opening the port after everyshot to load a new bb in)

Someone tell me I'm wrong.

That's what a lot of people do, but I'm just saying it's literally impossible to rack your bolt with one finger on a spring, and if you did, you would put a lot of stress on the cylinder, which would eventually lead to a break.

Please allow me to address the things you saw as pro's and cons, KJWSniper , one at a time.

Spring:

Extremely consistent (This is true)
Heavy Upgrading may wear on internals (Heavy Upgrading means higher quality parts and pieces, that are made to handle any wear and adress these, a heavily upgraded rifle can last 100,000+ rounds without break)
Slower cycle time (This is debatable, pending on how quick you are, I can keep up with just about any gas rifle)
Usually larger than Gas guns (They are usually built after the same model, so that really just doesn't make sense)
Durable(can take abuse) (This is true)

In addition:
Those who have shot both style, please only submit your opinion. If you have only shot a spring rifle or gas, do not submit, as your views are second hand and hearsay.

A spring rifle can do anything a gas can, and more, a gas rifle is something you want for looks and realism, although a tweaked one can perform, they both get the job done in the end. Minut details are one sided for either one, and both sides will have positive and negative attributes. However, with being a sniper, you need a rifle that is going to be reliable under the most extreme conditions, with as little fluxuation as possible. Maintaining and holding that is what will make the difference between a lethal sniper, and an ineffective one.

If you can tweak your weapon to do that job, then you're doing alright.
