I second that. If you really want to know how to perform well as a sniper the info is out there. No need to spoon feed it to everyone. If you don't have the patience to google it, you most likely won't have the patience to play the sniper role. |

Anyone know when / where the next Sniper clinic (for beginners) might be? I live in New Brunswick, but if it's not out in BC or something, I might be able to travel for one.
I'd love to do something like that. (Before anyone flames me for not searching, I have... the last one was in October, from what the results suggest. No upcoming ones listed though.) |

The clinics are in Ontario since that's where Sha Do lives. As for a date, I don't know. I believe that it wouldn't be until the spring at least.

Okie, Looking to step into the "sniper" platform (well actually just try something new.) but dont want to spend that much.
Highly interested in the KJ MK1 Carbine's, but my only real question is regarding affixing a silencer to one. (To hide a longer inner barrel of course.) Anyone have any experience with doing this sort of mod? Or know of ways to add a silencer to this gun? (As it doesnt have a threaded barrel as far as I know.) |

Here's another question for the sniper group: what are you going to use as a criteria for "snipers" (specially if you restrict access to the section)?

Bc_k its possible to do. You can order the adaptor from overseas if you can find it in stock i believe kic bb gun carries them. You can make a silencer work on it however. You have to unscre the front sight which leave two little holes in the barrel. Make a silencer from pvc or what have you. Then make it so you can put two small screws through it to go into the outer barrel. The mk1 is utterly useless unless you get a metal hopup. the plastic one on it breaks easy, isnt sealed well and is an all around piece of crap. www.evike.com has a newer hopup its not metal but its worth a try. The barrel is a bit tricky and requires some machining knowledge. It doesnt have a standard hopup so you would have to modify a barrel to work and then dremel out the inside of the gun to allow the extra mm to fit.

Thank God there are those among us who know how to do such things.

As I said before, airsoft sniping is not for everyone, it takes a different kind of player to play the role some veteran players can attest that, me I have lots of patience, I can remain at one location for hours if need be, some of you know me for doing that. 8-) dissapear for several hours to return with several kills, not many, but its how you got to the targets and eliminated them :tup: or eliminating them from a fair distance ;-)

I don't see any need for restriction. What you will learn reading such section won't make you a leet anti-sniper or uber killing machine with a BA rifle.
What give your thoses skills is trainning and experience. Such a section provide nothing of the two. Just information.

Yeah it was a bit of a rhetorical question. Like I'd mentioned originally, too many people out there seem to think that "sniper" is just about a bolt action rifle and a ghillie suit. And even if it was, you still have guys with PSG-1s, G3/SG1s, SR-25s, SR-15s, SPRs, HK94/SG1s, SL8/9s and SVDs... and while they may be restricted to lower FPS limits on the field (and lets be honest here, the extra 50 FPS doesn't exactly give you a huge range advantage) would they be excluded from the sniper role? I've seen people snipe with stock AEGs. And they were good. They were scary. They were stealthy, they could move like the wind, they had the discipline to move after taking one or two shots (instead of getting greedy), and they knew their weapon well enough to put shots on targets and not take shots they couldn't make. IMO half of "sniper" is fieldcraft. Guns do make up an important part of it, specially in airsoft since most guns require so much work to become accurate and consistent. But too many people coming into it seem to think that just getting a BA rifle and upgrading it to 450 fps will make em an instant sniper. So IMO maybe the section should be expanded, not only to cover some of the sniper basics, but also include sharpshooter/designater marksman roles, and maybe even spotters (if you want to cover milsim, given how so many sniper wannabes are so keen on going out and being lone wolves).
