*sigh* I'm still driving a pinto
beats my Chevrolegs!
but you know bolt action work fine same with any other sniper rifle you just have to know how to use it. playing with a bunch of people with springers and such, i'm sure they are just all running in circles shooting each other, when i started like that it was basicly really close and fast games(to me reallly lame) but a good sniper rifle normaly requires some sum of money if you wnat to have the right parts and all to make it a beast. and tactics change with the role of sniper. don't start as one start with a good AEG, most people here are gonna tell you to get a CA CQBR, (its like a God to everone on AA)
and such as everone else said many guns rip through brush and what not. but if you had a good time then that is what counts!
