Sniper tips and tricks!

Camouflage. You don't want your opponent to see you! Always keep an eye on your surroundings, but we recommend a ghille suit if you're out in the woods playing. Just remember when dressing that you will be carrying the suite (can be heavy with a lot of equipment) and that it can get quite hot in the summer. You will find everything from camouflage here !
Location. You should be able to endure the longest of all, without being mocked! Although it is dead cool to look like a bush in the forest, it is more important to find the right location. An overview of the surroundings and your team is important, as well as being well hidden.
Pack light. You want to be light on your toes, so don't bring a lot of dead weight. For example, you don't always need to carry a side weapon. As it is easy to get hung up on bushes and other things, in addition to weighing a little.
Breath. When breathing in and out, you move your body and this affects how you shoot. Therefore, it is important to be as tense as possible. Practice different breathing techniques and find the one that suits you best.

Choose the right airsoft sniper and equipment

We all have different preferences in relation to what we like in addition to the size of our wallet! The most important thing will be to look for a sniper on which you can upgrade spring, hop-up and precision barrel. There are few that come straight out of the box upgraded!

Furthermore, it will be choosing the right weight for the balls. A weight between 0.40g - 0.46g will be optimal for sniper rifles. Another thing to think about is how powerful the sniper is. Since airsoft clubs and games have rules for fps. For bolt action snipers, this is around 450 - 550 fps in Norway. Sniper BB's you will find here!

For sights, we recommend that you buy a binocular sight with 4x magnification. Because you want to be able to see as much of the course as possible at a time, in addition to seeing where the bullet is going and who you are shooting. Greater magnification than 5x and you won't be able to see where the bullet is going. You will find all our binoculars here!

For beginners

If you are new to snipers, we recommend that before you go to purchase one for many thousands of Swedish kroner, maybe try a slightly more affordable one first. But that being said, it pays to go up in price for snipers, as they usually shoot more precisely! But as your first sniper, these three work very well!
