SR25

[Whiskey..]

I dont know much about internals but what additional stuff can i buy to upgrade this even more to make it more of a sniper?

Why to people get these two mixed up

Sniper (Noun) - is a marksman who shoots targets from concealed positions or distances exceeding the capabilities of regular personnel.

Sniper Rifle (Noun) - is a precision-rifle used to ensure more accurate placement of bullets at longer ranges than other small arms.

It's funny because there isn't much of an advantage, and they don't work in A&K/CA style SR25's, only G&Gs.

yup, yeah, no advantage. won't work in half of the guns out there!

Other then trigger response and ROF(which is moot for a DMR) There is no real advantage, you still shoot out of the same hopup system and barrel. They are in essence just another HPA engine.

What I had in my old G&G SR was 10.8v battery(built for the stock), Fet with active braking, Hi torque motor and gears, pdi170, and guarder piston head. It had a wicked trigger response and shot pretty decently.

Why would you install a polar star into a sniper? It would work well, you just wouldn't be utilizing the full capabilities of the 'star. It seems like a lot of cost and prep before each use to go out and fire semi auto. Can a polar star even be "locked" into semi auto if you intended to use it as a DMR?

I don't think there would be a bolt application, but it would be awesome as a DMR. Yes, you can lock it in semi. I plan to get an m16 length and set it up as a DMR.

Hey, maybe you could even use midcaps for once

Highcaps more reliable.

Really.... Whiskey gave everybody the definition. What a sniper is, and people still get it wrong.

I had read his earlier post, I just can't into sniper. Zergling, you should consider midcaps if you are going to make your polar star into a sniper, if for nothing else than the decreased sound signature. You should also consider that a DMR role would require you to go prone, something you are incapable of, unless you carry around a chair and bench as part of your load out.

The sound of loading midcaps is louder than the sound of winding highcaps. If you want to go prone all the time you should probably get a low fps gun because all your fighting is going to be close range. If you are going for long range then no reason to get down because you are going to outrange the target. The ability to move from position to position quickly is more valuable than the cover from going prone. This is airsoft after all, so I think it is more difficult to peg the guy moving around than staying still but small.

I think that going prone is most useful in ambushing situations where you want them to get close before you open up (and you likely die after taking a few of them) or where you are forward of your squad setting up a cross fire situation that only triggers if the other team advances on you.

In the first situation I'd rather be mobile so I can retreat after taking out 1-2 of their dudes and in the second I'm going to be the guy in the back baiting the other team to push us.

Either way I don't see much use for a DMR to go prone much more often than normal. Maybe if the gun was really heavy?

Okay so your going to nod your head, and make this gun magically turn into a human. Because this is basically what you are saying.
A sniper Is a person, and a sniper rifle is the gun.
