| | | Airsoft Sniper Rifles |  Airsoft sniper rifles spring, electric or gas powered
replica guns that fire small plastic bb's with a high
muzzle velocity and level of accuracy. There are many
models in each category, most are perfect
representations of real firearms.
High priced spring powered models generally make good
airsoft sniper rifles. These high-end airsoft sniper
rifles can cost over a hundred dollars and as much as
four hundred dollars. Most spring powered airsoft guns
are purchased as a first airsoft gun, due to their low
price. But this is not the case when it comes to the
more expensive spring operated airsoft sniper rifles.
These have a hugh muzzle velocity, and are used mainly
for sniping applications in airsoft competitions. The
CA M24 SOCOM is a popular example of a spring loaded
airsoft sniper rifle. This replica is based on the
army's M4 sniper weapon system. In order to convert
this airsoft gun to an airsoft sniper rifle requires a
few modifications to it's design in order to increase
muzzle velocity. Once these modifications have been
made, the gun can achieve muzzle velocities of
five-hundred feet per second.
Gas powered airsoft sniper rifles are relatively more
expensive than spring operated airsoft sniper rifles.
But a gas powered airsoft sniper rifle is less
reliable in cold temperatures. Some types of gas
powered airsoft sniper rifles, because the gas that
propels them is less effective in winter weather, will
freeze up after just a few shots. For this reason,
spring powered airsoft sniper rifles are more widely
used than gas powered models. Also, the bolt action on
spring powered airsoft sniper rifles is thought to
more accurately replicate the sniper rifles commonly
used by police and military forces. |
