and any good tips ion being a sniper

Let me just say, that I've seen that sniper before, and its really cheap.
Its not all metal, and not even anywhere close as good as a M324 or Bar.

It has a plastic stock, with decent fps, but I heard how easily it breaks, and everything,
I heard its a good gun if you want to try sniping, but thats all I heard. The gun is fairly cheap yes, but I mean, you get what you pay for.

Hi there! welcome to the sport below are some links to some good reading info on all the questions you will have regarding airsoft sniping.

For Tips?
Uh..
Control your breath,
When you use scopes, take a deep breath in, hold it for about five seconds, and breath out, Do this very calmly, there will be a muscle in the middle of your body, that will relax, letting you have more control over your gun, (IF you holding it)

Bipods work nicely.

Only use BB's .25 and up (Correct me if I'm wrong) for a farther distance.

Always be quiet, and always be calm. If your adrenaline is rushing, and your freaked out, you likely have a bad shot, and one bad shot can make show people your location. Always be calm, and be patient. But don't be TOO patient.

Thats all I have

you use heavier bb's to reduce the amount of curve there is in the bb's flight path, not to increase the distance

haha thats what I meant
I'm an idiot

Yes it will increase the distance,

More mass means more inertia, more inertia means more range. Especially with our great addition of the hop-up!

sticks

also get a guillie for it or get a ultra flat paint job

Oh
I knew that
I said it in fine print

thanks for the help

I have done a lot of experimenting with bb's lately for my heavily moded BAR 10 (550fps on .20 bb) and I have tried, KSC .30's, Matrix .40's, and I am currently using Madbull .36's...

To be honest I haven't noticed much of a difference in range between the .30's - .40's... the only real difference is accuracy for me. The .36's I am using are definitely the most accurate, but I think thats because they seem to be a little more precise than the .40 that I also have used in the past. Basically what I am trying to say is, I don't think you will notice a big difference in range like most people say. If you are using a 400 fps or lower gun you may see it coming into play, but if it is closer to 430+ it wont be very noticeable.

Anyways, welcome to sniping and you have a lot to learn.

So I just looked at the BAR-10 would you recomend this sniper?

I would, but mine isn't exactly a Bar 10 anymore.

Actually to be honest, I would recommend it over most bolt actions due to one fact... it is 100% compatible with TM VSR parts, which are the easiest bolt action parts to find. It definitely has the most potential in the price range it is in.

That is my 2 cents.

How would you say it is stock becuase im not very good with internal upgrades

Stock it is comparable to a lot of bolt actions... but the fps is probably about 360 compared to several other bolts around 400-450.

If you are going to leave it stock... im not sure I would go with the Bar, but if you plan to upgrade down the road (everyone does) I would say buy the Bar.

so this would be an okay budget gun

that would be your diaphragm.

Your link isn't working for me for some reason... but it looks like it says JG Bar 10... yes that is a good budget gun that can eventually be a full out beast with some money invested.

Yes get the BAR--10 and then ask Seabass for the link to a bunch of upgrades. I would post it but im not sure what website it is and how you get to it.
