Yes, I also recommend starting with an AEG from either CYMA, Echo 1, or Combat Machine/G&G. Sniper rifles are way overrated because most of the time you would have to spend hundreds of dollars on upgrades to make it worth its salt. Even then, you will still be extremely nooby to airsoft if you just sit in the back trying to hit opponents. See one of noneed2hate's recent videos, I remember seeing him take out 5 or 6 "sniper" kids in jeans just sitting on a hill clumped together.
