I have no intention of locking this thread. We need this every so often for all the nublett 1337 snipahs to get it through their skulls that things are done one way for a reason.

Dude just drop it, I doubt your friends would even want to play with you. My freinds cry and whine when i got a 350 fps gun. If you were close enough and you shot you could probale break someones classes or facemask. Plus the sniper role isnt as fun as you think. Get a decent AEG and go to cqb games or somthing. Either that or quit airsoft or just move to sweden.

Not to mention in Sweden, they've had airsoft games where people have actually died. One year at their big airsoft event in Berget, a guy fell out of a building and died. Not to mention that the games over there are more hardcore than milsim. We're talking camping out where you play, and role players interrogating captured players and shit. It's gotten so out of hand they added a safety word last year if things got too intense for you.
So yeah, lets see you handle that, mister 700fps sniper. Until you can grow up a little bit, please go die. kthxbai

BlackAce, Trust me when I say this, because if you knew you wouldn't be asking.
As a self proclaimed expert in Airsoft Gas Rifles, I can tell you that you'll never see the accuracy you desire shooting 720fps. You'll never be able to hit anything from a distance without the effects of the hopup taking over. Meaning your targets will have to be 100' and closer.
So, Unless your shooting 1.337g BB's (and then good luck finding them), you'll never hit anything beyond 150'. And at 720fps you should have atleast a 150' engagement limit.
Oh, and good luck getting more than 2 to 3 shots per mag at the FPS. Greater the FPS, Greater the amount of GAS used.
Lastly, If you can't consider safety before anything else in this sport, then don't play. There are NO second chances when you lose an eye. And full seal goggles will not stop a BB's at the FPS...again trust me on this. So, if you aren't considering the safety factors before you play, then please leave this sport as you will surely be NOT Welcomed.

I might be wrong but I think that you can play with a gun of that FPS in Indiana. It is still very unsafe and I would recommend buying another gun but it's just a suggestion. If you want to buy a sniper rifle you can use in Michigan buy a WELL or a UTG. I assume that you are new to the sport because no veteran would even ask about a gun that unsafe so these brands should suit you just fine. When you are more into the sport look into a Maruzen.

You should just leave. You have been to an event before, right? You should know by now 550 FPS is quite enough. The only reason 720 FPS should be used is for plinking at the house/range. You don't listen to the rules, blow off help from respected members and think you know it all.

Just let this thread die of it's own accord.
Bottom line is...550 fps is MORE than enough for "Snipers" to shoot for playing airsoft.
If you wanna shoot 1137 fps with your gun, keep it at home for shooting at mailboxes, don't bring it to a game and expect to play with it.

And, as I said in Blackace's other thread, there's no good reason to use wimpy little airsoft BBs if you want to shoot targets. Air rifles make better target weapons than any airsoft gun ever will.

First of all im going to be a man and apologize to whomever i offended in the first place, although most of you guys were dicks about it, you were right and i should have just listened to you guys instead of bickering back and forth with all of you like 5 year olds. But i want you all to know that if someone would have just said what lonewolf said to me then none of this would have happened. so here is a quote from lonewolfs PM to me and hopefully you guys will start acting a little more like him.
"I just wanted to let u know that those guys arent as big of bastards as they probably seem like. what u need to understand is that airsoft doesnt have the greatest rep as it is. they are simply looking out for the long term well being of the sport. if people start getting seriously hurt, they could ban the sport. i can assure u you dont want that to happen or if it does, u dont want to have the blame pointed at you. i am not trying to be an ass at all... just trying to let u know why they r freaking out on you. as a side not( i learned this from personal experience when i 1st started playing) the sniper role is not as much fun as it may seem. if u did want to go into it though i would again suggest the jg bar-10. its a bolt action springer that shoots over 400 fps out of the box. The MIA limit is usually just over 500(ive heard numbers from 501 to 540fps) so anything higher than that and u would be limited to private games. granted u may not have a problem with that, i can assure the more the merrier. nothing compares to running around SFOD's city with over 100 people blasting away. but back to the jg bar-10. like i said it shoots over 400 fps stock, so u could always buy a better spring and get it up to 450/500. i also know u can find these guns for around 150 dollars, so youd have that much more loot to spend on mods/gear.again, im not trying to steer u away from what u want. just saying something like this may be more practical, and youd still be allowed at MIA games. please note i have a 50% warning level so it aint like im an angel myself, but these guys really are looking out for the long term well being of the sport, and the general safety of everyone on these forums.hope something in here helps u. London"

Just for the record, for the first page and a half we tried to help you. We told you why a 700+ FPS gun would be a bad idea, but you kept persisting. We told you it was dangerous and we suggested alternatives to it, such as a TM VSR-10 that you could upgrade to 500-550. We told you that FPS doesn't mean everything, but you clearly didn't listen.
Then you went on a rant and said some of the stupidest things I've heard in a long while, and that's when we really starting to "bicker" with you. Go back and read the first page of this thread and try to tell me we weren't trying to help you. Then read what you posted about halfway down the page and tell me it wasn't our fault we laughed and told you to leave.
Your appology is nice, but don't tell us to "act a little more like him" when we were trying to help you.
