Thinking of starting the sport

[Brokenwings]

I was just like you, wanting to snipe at first. Then, i actually started playing.

You don't want to snipe, trust me. if you do, it's going to be in a lonng time. Get a AEG. You won't regret it. Go tactical, sneaky, professionally taking up the field. great way to start off some games and best way to feel the best out of air soft. Once your pro, you can try sniping.

And yes, you can obviously buy one in canada. Look at the class fields once your 18. retailers not so much. Snipers stock are somewhat crappy, and if you want an actual good one, modded, ect, be prepared to pay goo amounts of cash.

Yes from what you've seen. AV opens up a whole new world of possibilities. That's why you need AV to be able to access it!

Also +1 to brokenwings. Stock a sniper rifle is the same as an AEG, if you truly want to develop yourself in a sink or swim way try playing with a stock sniper rifle you'll have to outsmart and outsneak other players not to mention get up close because the accuracy isn't going to be like a fully upgraded VSR with a TBB, perfect compression, and be more bang on than an AEG when shooting.

I'm obviously talking about BA rifles but for something like a Dragunov there's no reason why you can't keep it running at stock speed (I assume somewhere in the range of 360-380 FPS) and either act as a "DMR" or play as an assaulter with a Dragunov (although it might be a bit unwieldy with such a long rifle, like using a full length M16 in a CQB situation instead of an M4 with collapsible stock).
