Not to mention the ruger can get a faster rate of fire. There is not bolt to operate, only a trigger to pull, so it probably makes up for any lost accuracy.
You can use it to defend youreslf (from a distance) as well as a useing it as a sniper weapon.

A "sniper" weapon is bolt action....why do you think besides the Barret series, all other match grade sniper rifles are bolt action? The .50 isnt a tango killer, its a tank killer! :lol:  A sniper should switch to a sidearm, or a backup(small aeg gbb Smg etc). As a sniper, you shouldn't be seen in the first place, and if you are, you should be able to fend off anyone before they get clsoe.

It does no good to compare a airsoft gun to a real one. We're playing a game, after all, so whatever works, does.. regardless of what a firearm is.

Most of us are into airsoft for milsim, if you want to be non milsim, play with McDowell Mountain Airsoft, they like black gear and 600fps pistols.. Have fun.

Chainsaw, in response to your post on this gun I would definetly look into it as a primary sniper.  I've seen these used to great effect in games before and it's the sniper gun that my wife has as her choice (and she is also 5'4").  Also the gun is nice and compact, (no need to cut off the stock, anyway you'll want the stock to keep it steady while aiming) this gun will make you much more mobile than any bolt action.  When it comes down to it allways choose practical over tactical.

A sniper rifle isn't always a bolt action rifle. M16s in vietnam were used by snipers. PSG-1s are sniper rifles. So are M21s/M25s. So are G3A4s. Dragonuvs are also sniper rifles. So are VSS Vintorez rifles. And everything I just named is a semi automatic rifle(with exception of the M16 and G3).

But in the world of sniping, you want tactical.

Thanks man, I allready have his # though, just got done talking to him about the gun past couple of days.  If you are seriously interested in buying it off him let me know, I was going to but I don't need the gun as bad as I need extra mags.  If you want it go for it and I'll just buy the mags that you don't....

My .02...

I've been shot by Lobo with his MK11  and it seems to be pretty accurate.  It is not as sexy looking as a longer, bolt action rifle such as the m24 or m40a1.  It is shorter, which makes it easier to crawl around with.

I wouldn't rely on your rifle too much.  In the sniper role fieldcraft, cammo and evasion plays a larger role.  If you run around like and idiot you're going to get shot regardless.....

I agree whole heartedly about the MK1. I also have been shot with it... @ 225ft + (uh and he was using .36). The weapon is very accurate. However a "sniper" using this weapon needs to be a very good judge of distance as well. I have already sen a "Semi" serious injury come from the pistol version of the MK1 (a bb lodged in the eyebrow of another player by a player using the pistol version and had no concern for distance, and yes they were both wearing eye protection standard safety glasses, guess that's another argument for goggles.).

As a matter of fact it was the same .36 that Reaver gave Lobo to try at one of the games.

The only problems I have seen with the MK1 is in it's functions. The trigger mechanism has to be "broke in" or it doesn't always reset. Another problem that appears with time is that the mags expand and become real tight in the well. This causes you to have to basicly "tap" them back into shape with a hammer. Also the gun when in extremem heat or cold temp will not consistently(?) fire. By that I mean that each pull of the trigger will not mean the weapon will fire.

I have actually worked on Lobo's MK1 and have seen this happen at several games. Although it is simple enough to get it working again, it is stoill a real pain.

(and this is from experience)
