Just make the point of acting mature and resposnsible. The main reason for the age thing to my understanding has to do with legal accountability more than anything becasue of the nature of this game and the risks and hazards assoiated with it, your expected to act like an adult at all times and be responsible.
(Feel free to correct me on this If I got it wrong this is just my understanding)

ya to be honest all i want to do know before 16 or 18 is to gain the respect of the older people here because there the people that when im 16 make the dicision to let me play or not, or even just to go to the games.
I also have to ask something: when i turn 16 (two whole damn years) and people say you can play but you need parental permission, do they mean as in signing a waiver or do they have to be there in the flesh. any answers would be great. |

There are some excellent airsoft sniper courses run by experienced members of the community. I would think that is what the poster was referring to.
The one I went to was excellent. Ld

The reason you need parental permission is because you are not legal liable as an adult until you're 18, because you're still considered a minor. So if you get hurt or do something stupid that hurts someone else-- they [your parents] will be sued because you can't be. You cannot legally enter into any contract with anyone under the age of 18.
As far as the sniper courses go: Contact Sha-Do about the ASC Sniper courses. He's one of the people who organized the whole ASC sniper certification system.

in the end if you're not a good sniper, what better way to counter-act something than to learn it/live it and completely understand it!

You should really start off with an Assault rifle, then work your way up to a DMR and finally into a sniper position. This really helps as it's more of a transition rather than "here's a sniper rifle now sink or swim". Plus there's no point in getting a sniper rifle and leaving airsoft totally because you had a bad experience with sniping which is what most "1337 sn1pahz" end up doing. At least with an assault rifle the majority of the population enjoys close up action and the excitement of being in a fire fight. I myself know that I'm more of a run and gun assault kind of guy who likes action and the closest I'll ever be to becoming a sniper is probably a DMR or Counter-Sniper. Sniping is not for everybody, it's not like the movies at all it's really a lot of surveillance, concealment, and patience, they're not going to present themselves to you all wrapped up in a nice package, they're going to be looking out for snipers and bugging out if they see you. Also I believe you must take a "Basic training" course before you can take the sniper course. Op-For is running a basic training course soon (if it hasn't already passed). Best of luck though if do decide to become a sniper and go through all that training. EDIT: Also stock class (pump action) paintball experience seems like it would help since the concept is pretty much the same.
