Executive Summary by Mark Schilling

You've seen them in the movies: they creep through their surroundings, invisible and ever so slowly stalking their next victim. Knowing that they do not have to even get close to their target makes them even more menacing. Now, with Airsoft sniper guns you can feel the same thrill that the professionals do.

When looking at this type of gun there is quite a selection available. If you are into the game for power you came to the right group of weapons. The gas versions are the most powerful guns by this manufacturer. They can either green gas, propane or co2 for their propellent.

Here is a list of the available choices that you have:

• AGM VSR10- This is primarily for starters or younger users. This is a spring gun so to fire it must be cocked every time. These are some of the most reliable guns because there are very few parts, easier to break and build back, and very little to maintain.

• M700- This is a replica of a gun manufactured by Remington. Since this is an upgrade the weight is more similar and the gun balanced throughout. It is actually used by some police and military groups. This gun is surprisingly powerful and packs quite a velocity for its price.

• AGM L96- This is a spring action gun. It is a solid gun with possible upgrades available. This is a great starter gun if you are on a budget, but it is still solidly made and evokes the real thing. It is very powerful for its size.

• HFC VSR10- This is a single action bolt rifle that is convertible to a gas gun. It comes in either a simulated wood or black mat stock. There are two versions of this gun, one of which allows you to have a small recoil action and louder noise when fires.

• UTG L96- This is single fire bolt action. Some of the upgrades available are mounting bracket for a bi-pod stand and a mountable bracket for optional scope. It also blends well with your surroundings due to the camouflage stock.

As you can see, there are sniper Airsoft guns for everyone. From basic to expert level, you can find the right weapon to enhance you next outing, and each will serve you well for years to come.

How to Choose the Best Airsoft Gun

Executive Summary by Danny Woods

To say the least, airsoft guns come in a very wide variety. Airsoft guns can be purchased anywhere from $15 to over $500 and the quality more or less depends on the price. The lower-end guns can seem more like toys while the higher-end ones can be very functional, very realistic, and quite effective when playing with others.

The three primary types of airsoft guns are spring-loaded, electric, and gas blowback.

Spring-loaded guns are the most inexpensive (typically $20-$60) but they are mostly used only for target practice or for the aesthetics of the model gun. After that, there are electric guns which come in low-powered, medium-powered, electric blowback, and automatic electric.

Automatic electric guns (AEGs) are the most reliable and powerful but they are also more expensive than the others. Finally, gas blowback guns work very well but are the most expensive, and where electric guns only have to have their batteries replaced, gas guns obviously require gas to be replaced.

After that, there is the type of gun itself. Airsoftguns come in all the forms that real firearms are available in. Semi- and fully-automatic pistols, rifles, carbines, submachine guns, and sniper rifles are all available in airsoft form. Depending on the model, brand, and cost of the gun, accuracy, muzzle velocity, rate of fire, and overall reliability vary.

As expected, smaller guns have smaller clips and shorter-barreled guns are less accurate than longer-barreled ones. As far as aesthetics goes, some airsoft guns will be painted in the colors that they would normally be seen in if they were real firearms but others come in clear plastic. All airsoft guns must be painted orange at the tip of the barrel for legal reasons (so that they are not mistaken for actual firearms)- so make sure that if you modify your gun yourself, you don't repaint the tip some other color.

As far as game play goes, it is important to use a weapon that is fitted to the type of activity you are involved in. For target practice and general shooting, a spring-loaded gun will suffice but when playing with others, it is necessary to have a better gun. Because of how many different types of airsoft guns in the market, it can be intimidating trying to find a specific one worth spending money on.

First, look for the type of gun that you want. Pistols are good to start with because they are simple and less expensive than other types. Look for a gun with a good clip size and a muzzle velocity of over 250 feet per second. If you want a fast gun, make sure the clip is large (at least 200 BBs) or you'll end up spending a lot of time reloading.

In trying to pick an optimal airsoft gun, it is important to do a little research and look at reviews about what people have said about specific models of guns. Due to the large amount of brands, price ranges, and models available, this is the only way to ensure that you get the most out of your money.
