There are numerous gas and electric-powered sniper rifles available in the market and all will tout to be better than the rest. But for a true blooded skirmisher, only Airsoft sniper rifles will do. The realism and the authentic look and feel of an airsoft rifle can be rivaled by no other. Spring-powered bolt sniper rifles seem largely like childrens toys when compared to the highly advanced Airsoft sniper rifles. The power of bolt-action sniper rifles is something that you will be able to experience only with Airsoft magic. Electric and gas and designs allow airsoft weapons to fire off an entire barrage of semi or fully-automatic rounds.

However, several snipers prefer the feel of cocking the rifle manually in-between shots. Apart from this, pro skirmishers prefer to eliminate their targets in one single shot instead of with a rain of pellets. Of course, hits and misses are part and parcel of the game, but being in control is about having a world class airsoft sniper rifle or any one of the modern automatic Airsoft guns in your hand. The effect and real feel of a bolt-caution is the one factor that attracts players ...
... to these guns. The primal feel of relying just on your senses while in the midst of a game is a truly heady feeling.

Any sniper rifle relies on elements such as silence and accuracy to deliver shots that will count in a competition or game. Having a good sniper weapon at your disposal while you rain a barrage of pellets on the opposing team is a definite asset for the game. Some sniper weapon fans actually scoff at those who run around with automatic Airsoft guns. That’s not where the advantages of a sniper rifle stops. Once the match is over, the AEG crowd will have to head home and spend prohibitive amounts of money to maintain their weapons.

With AEG’s maintenance is not just necessary, it is critical as well. Contrastingly, it is very easy to maintain, service and care for rifles and they have very few movable parts and thus the chances of breakdown are lower. The sniper rifle generally has a bolt action that has to be pulled back for every shot. With spring rifles, some force has to be exerted on the bolt for the pull back action. The gas sniper rifles propel BB pellets out of the barrel using the pressure that the gas generates. A target sniper rifle is what you should opt for if range and accuracy is what is desired.

These are gaining widespread appeal and popularity and though it seems like AEG’s rule the roost, snipers have a user niche of their own. The APS2 and VSR-10 gun base types are the most popular styles. The VSR-10 airsoft sniper rifle is manufactured in Japan, by Tokyo Marui. China-made versions are available as well and are much cheaper than the real thing. The L96 is the most popular APS2 rifle while the AGM L96 sniper and UTG Shadow OPS are clones of Maruzen and are spring powered. You should always try to acquire originals as the cheaper varieties or copies tend to breakdown faster and turn out to be expensive in the long run.
