Very good post, +1 for actually reading the rules and posting it in the proper section. Please don't take the opinion that I believe ALL UTG/WELL/Clone 96/24 shooters are noobs, and aspire to be just like the guys in Shooter. However, from the over 20 something operations and events I've attended in my short two year span of being a very active airsoft player before I enlisted, I noticed that more often than not, the members who didn't take the time to properly invest in a solid bolt action rifle usually did not take the time to properly invest in what role they're actually playing. More often than not using the Wal*Mart ghillie suits, or the leaf camo patterns, wearing vests that were all black in a woodland environment, and not bothering to put vegetation in their suits as well as even put facepaint on.
Believe it or not, I started out with a UTG M234, and that wasn't because I wanted to get in the role quick, it was because I did not have the money due to my own financial status as well as my mothers (Only being able to go out with friends and do stuff after a birthday or x-mas, or if I happened to mow a few lawns that week) it made me appreciate the rifle more. I'm very pleased to see that even a clone shooter as yourself can note the flaws that we point out numerous times to many other snipers in the game, and more often than not are flaws that are blown off, until you see a bolt handle snap off of a cylinder during a game, or a hop up bucking shred and cause sparatic shots all over the field.
Being a clone sniper by no means should discourage anyone from the sport, that's why they are they in the first place, so the person that wants to see what it's like can get something of decent enough quality to fly straight for a hot second and don't have to spend $800 to get there. Also, I thank you for admiring what I've brought to the community, in all honesty I'd like to think it's more or less the senior members like Phridum, Woogie, Vindicare and Livonia that really help contribute to why this forum is as good as it is.
Very respectfully,
