Design features of an airsoft sniper rifle

Airsoft "snipers" have some determining design features that are common to the family, but also makes them different from one another. Basic features are:

• Long barrel and main frame with fixed stock, ergonomically designed to fit the user.
• Scope - it is must have. There are, even more choices for a riflescope than there are rifles.
• Bipod - some prefer to have one, others prefer not to, it is a personal choice.
• Compact magazine - usually small in size and hidden in the frame of the rifle.
• Optional silencer - always a good choice, will hide your position.

To be effective as an airsoft sniper it is very important you use high quality BBs with enough weight. This will ensure that the power of the airsoft gun is fully utilized. This way the BB carries the most energy, allowing you to shoot further and, due to weight of the BB, more accurately.

All the products in our online store are replicas - exact copies of real sniper firearms. The main difference from real weapons is that these rifles shoot BB bullets. Also note that as an airsoft sniper you will want to heavily upgrade your arm of choice boosting its firepower and accuracy.

Types of airsoft sniper rifles

1. Gas powered: the BB is propelled out of the barrel using compressed gas. Airsoft gas is filled into the magazine or into a special container in the rifle. With CO2 models a CO2 cartridge is inserted instead.  When fired, the gas is released into the rifle, which propels the BB out of the barrel. The muzzle velocity of BB is in the range of 160-200 m/s.
2. Spring powered: this is the most common category of airsoft sniper rifles.  Here the piston is cocked manually by pulling the cocking lever. This tensions the spring and when fired it pushes the piston into the cylinder, and air propels the BB out. These models do not have the best muzzle velocity out of the box, but can be most easily upgraded with more powerful springs to increase power. These models can only fire single shots and need to be cocked for every shot.
3. Electric powered: they have similar principle of operation as spring models. However, the piston is cocked by an electric motor in a closed system, called a gearbox. In the gearbox, there are gears that tension the spring. When released, the spring pushes the piston into the cylinder, which propels the BBs out of the barrel. These models are capable of firing in semi-automatic mode.
