AEG vs Bolt sniper

[SSXmac]

Just one simple question. is there any performance advantage in a bolt action sniper rifle over a semi auto electric sniper? (full auto isnt allowed as i understand)

Assume both have been upgraded to around 500 fps and have tightbores.

The only real difference is noise (Bolt actions seem to be very, very quiet) and if you're using a gas system in the bolt action rifle. That'll affect the number of shots you get, and will be affected by the temperature. And, obviously, AEG's require batteries, so your bolt action rifle will never run out of juice, it'll only stop working when you can no longer compress the upgraded spring (Which could very well happen to you).

I might've missed something, but I think those're the major differences.

and of course the obvious difference, quick follow up shots without having to reset and reaim. With semi, your crosshairs won't leave your target before you're ready for anyother shot.
