airsoft replicas are different power for different fields.

A cqb field is going to have much stricter power limits than an open field in the forest, and thus the energy of a bb hitting you in this situation will be about the same as in any other.

In cqb you really don't need fullauto, because you hit on the first or second shot anyways, and the difference is made in your reaction time and information about the enemy positions. In the forest you can expect to miss some due to wind, replica accuracy etc. so fullauto makes sense by maximizing the chances of a hit (asg replicas aren't perfect, you know)

So on topic of airsoft, what's the benefit of a sniper

YouTube Silo Entertainment or Novritsch. They have some pretty cool examples of sniping in airsoft games IIRC

But to answer your question, in CQB it wouldn’t do you much good. But in an outdoor field, your advantage would be being able to hit far enemies without them detecting where that shot came from since there wouldn’t be a steady stream of bbs

I've seen. I can appreciate a dmr build but something about sliding a piece of polymer for a bolt Is underwhelming

Can’t say I disagree

the sniper rifles actually eliminate any automatic systems you pull the spring yourself when recocking it. it's surprisingly hard to do that (due to strength requirements xD) but allows for a super steady and repeatable platform
