Airsoft snipers used to hold an enormous advantage in range over the AEG users, but with all of the popularity with aegs, and the new upgrades that are coming out for them, killing a sniper is basically, just find him, and spray. The range gap that we hold over AEGs, is slowley, but surely, closing.

There are no "new" airsoft snipers that have a significant breakthrough. The bulk of the attention of manufacturers is focused on cheap chinese clones, boasting high fps and bad parts. I think we are slowley being abandoned.

Some brave souls have realized this and have sought out ways to improve the preformance of their rifles; the most popular idea, now seems to be "Pill-shaped" ammo, and rifling. But there are those who do nothing but bash these ideas down to the ground, telling them it will never work.

This is not a discussion about this specific idea and it's advantages, and disadvantages. Please post accordingly

I see two options to our dilema (sp).

ONE: We select a small group of trusted people (or just one) on this forum, and donate funds to them so they may research the idea, of pill, or flathead ammo in snipers. We can't expect them to do it by themselves, and we have already established that big companies will not try to develope these any time soon. We just need to let them know that it will (or will not) work, then they might be encouraged to take the reigns.

TWO: We bombard presision bb makers to make a better heavy-weight bb. The only option out there now is straight/digicon, and the only reason we buy from them is because they are the only makers of bbs above .35 grams (excluding .88). And we all know that they really aren't that great. If we can get Maruzen or TM to make a heavy-weight bb line with the presision of their .29s and .3s, they would sell like hotcakes, and most likely cut our groupings in half, adding to our effective range, possibly making 300ft. shots a lot more common. And we would tell them not to coat their bbs w/ graphite.

This thread will contain no flaming, or bashing, consructive critasizm please.

And, this will not be a "lets talk about it thread. This is the thread where we start to do something. This is the thread where we organize ourselves into a community that does for themselves what was once done for them.

Who's with me!!!

Peace to all,
Chris
