Conclusion

When buying an Airsoft rifle there are several things to consider regarding use. Remember this is not a rapid fire or high mag capacity weapons system.

The sniper rifle is designed in even gaming style warfare as a stand off weapon. That means shooting from a static position or hid and becoming the over watch shooter for your advancing members of the team. Regardless of the game pattern or rules, the sniper is king when not obvious to the target subjects.

The rifles like the Russian style Drag are fast multiple target shooters but the bolt guns are solid systems and get the job done for less money in most cases.

Shoot sniper a rifle is a deliberate task-orientated event and save the rapid fire assault advancing weapons systems to the smaller full auto style Airsoft rifles. M-16 etc..
