There is actually some pretty good info. floating around on the forum already about the JG bar-10, but I'll give you a brief explanation. The bar-10 has proven itself to be a great starter rifle with lots of potential. Not only does it feel great when holding it and look good when carrying it around, but it has quality internals which can be easily upgraded to reach a much higher FPS. There's even a guide on this forum on how to do those upgrades for almost no cost. I love the UTG L96, and now that you own it you know why, but when people ask me to recommend them a sniper rifle, I almost always answer with the JG bar-10. If you want to know more I'd say look around the site for more info. and PM Seabass9000 (he owns one).
