No, you're not getting the point, you're 14, you're not allowed to even own or purchase a BB or Pellet gun, you're not allowed to fire this shit outside within city limits of most if not all cities/townships, You won't be allowed to play with the airsoft community until you're 18, you can't just go find a field or forest to play in with your buddies. Don't bother telling us that you own large private property to play on, the rest of Canada already belongs to the other 13 and 14 year olds if we believed any of them. As has already been pointed out, don't get a sniper, you'll do a fuckload of laying around doing nothing with you engaging people being a not so common occurence. Wait till you're 18, get age verified and then come play with us, until then pay attention at school, get a job, spend time going after girls (or guys if that's your thing) and maybe even get laid, then when you turn 18, come on out and play, we'll be more than happy to accept you if you prove to be responsible and safe in 4 years time. Right now it's not a question of those things, it's a question of legality and liability.

PS: I came on these boards in 2005 so I would only have been about 15, closing on 16, best thing I ever did was wait, you want to join our community? that's fine, but as a community we have rules, followign these rules is how it works but also has the benefit of proving you're capable of following "our ways" and have a valid interest in the sport and community. 3 years awas a long wait but it's definately worth it.


PSS: Christ ...... I've been a member on these boards for 5 years?!

if they got too close i would use my pistol cuz a bolt action sniper would suck agaisnt an aeg at close range

we would maybe play at real place ment for it wth parents there and at some other places that are available to us(forested land with some high grasses and plains with tons of bunkers)

ok so maybe i can stil get an ok sniper build it and do targets with my dad then lokk into an aeg. i will have enough money for the upgrades and to get an aeg. (hell i could get both this year i can ask for 1 for christmas)

[xXSkillzScopeXx]

what gun would be a good gun that i can work on and will last till im old enough to play with guys

Dude, I know that you are just itching to play, and it sucks to have to wait a few years until you are 18, but saying how you are mature and will be careful will not change our opinions and advice. Save your money, focus on the important things in life right now, stay part of the ASC community and read the threads and post questions. The bottom line is that we wont help you obtain a gun or let you play with us at your age. You can now choose to take our advice and accept it or ignore us and hope that your parents and friends don't have to face the consequences. There really is nothing more to say.

Are you just downright stupid? Or, as is more likely, did you just ignore everything you've been told?

Ignoring what has been said and going ahead with your plans is a good way to get yourself branded as undesirable with this community, NOT a good way to get yourself accepted when you turn 18.

Either way, the next four years would be much more usefully spent improving your english and grammatical skills instead of playing with toy guns

None of those are good snipers, in this sport you get what you pay for. You're more than welcome to post and ask stuff until you're old enough to buy and own these items. None of those guns are good though, I'm looking to get into sniping and I've been recommended to stay away from those from all the info I could find and people I talked to

and also in how can just shooting cans with my dad be so bad? i already have an airsoft gun so im going to do that anyways?

Right now it doesn't matter what good ones are, as who knows what will come out or be discontinued in the next 4 years, there's a few good ones, all of which can be found easily by doing a google search

To be honest there is no such thing as a good beginers sniper platform. The closest is a long barreled AR type rifle. Because any sniper platform that will actually have an advantage over an aeg will cost about $600 plus about $400-500 of upgrades. So figure $1100 for a gun with slightly better range and acuracy that an aeg, and then assume that about half of the people who try sniping end up deciding it is not for them. If you like playing paintball keep playing it, I play paintball all the time too even though I play airsoft. Its not one or the other.

but what brands and models are good and would be in my price range cuz i want to start saving now and get a good IDEA of what i want for the future
