There is something very primal about being a sniper. You can be the lone wolf or lion stalking its prey, hiding in the tall grass or underbrush, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, unseen until it is too late. It’s even better when your prey is a friend. That’s what you get when using airsoft sniper rifles.
Introducing Airsoft
Airsoft guns are modifications of the traditional BB gun, using the same principle of launching a projectile with compressed air. In the case of Airsoft guns, the projectile is actually a soft BB or pellet, designed to fly straight and true, but not hurt the target. The guns are perfect for target shooting in areas where real guns would be too dangerous and for combat games.
Airsoft Sniper Rifle Features
Like any good sniper rifle, the Airsoft sniper rifle comes with a bipod and a scope. They come in a variety of colors and camouflage finishes to blend into the background. These rifles are powered by either gas, electricity or spring action and can generate quite impressive velocity. The spring and electric models push BBs at a force approaching 500 feet per second (FPS) while the gas models can generate FPS nearing 700 FPS. The effective range can be as much as 250 feet. Some electric models have the added capability of firing on full auto, giving you the ability to spray a target while still having the precision of a sniper rifle.
