Well shit, it's nice to get some real information every once and a while. No need to apoligize for that.

I wanted to chime in with my .02 just to set the record straight. My credentials: USMC scout sniper school '01 Tour in Afghanistan '02 Tour in Iraq '03 and '04 Designated Marksmen in the USMC don't go to sniper school. They are simply the guy who got the highest score on his last rifle range qualification. There is one per every squad. They take long range shots that require precision shooting. Snipers go through a lengthy indoctrination into thier battallion's STA platoon prior to being shipped off to a 13 week formal sniper school. In the USMC snipers are called "scout snipers" becuase they do more information gathering than they do actual shooting. The days of assassination style lone wolf sniping have been over for awhile. *** Modern sniper shots are taken in conjunction with an infantry assault *** Just setting the record straight....sorry this is completely off topic but I don't like to see my fellow HOGs misrepresented Not a problem, thats why I got pissed (at that quote, not yours) as my brother, has been sent to Iraq as a Scout/Sniper with the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment in 06. When you stay here more (on MiA) 80% of threads made tend to go off topic, just as long as it aint spam, their shouldnt be a problem.

I just wasted an hour of my life reading this thread. Now I'm going to kill myself with my Marushin 8MM Remington 870, which probably outranges most guns repeatedly discussed on this thread, sadly enough. respect to the real airsoft snipers out there. If I live, you'll see it at FF2.

g36kustom, If you do off your self with that Maruzen, can I have it afterwards? I'll even clean up your brain matter from your appartment. That's how bad ass those shotguns are, fellas. Worth scraping grey matter from the ceiling tiles for.

I still have mine thank you. It's not a very popular rifle........Can anyone say fish gun? Anyone have experiance with the SRC gears and theri quality? I looked at the #1 gear and it looks cheaper than the one I broke?
P.S. I believe my new rifle will be the CA8-2 I had a chance to examine it in person, and I definately like the feel over the Maruzen. Not exactly what I had planned but it sure is a sweet gun.
Oh and I'm trying to sell a car stero system to fund the new gun so if any of ya'll can take pity on a poor college student and know of someone wanting a set I could use the help.

Genter I have nothing else to say
marge: The BE XM8? I do love the look of them (and the fact G36 parts are abundant). Yeah it is nice that when I go to a match I have something unique. Everyone has an M16 (or some variant) but no one has an XM8.
