The Best Sniper sidearm

Silent Death

Always an issue, What will you carry. A sub? A pistol? Nothing?
Personally its either my trusty PPK or a P90. Which is yours???????

thermo

I only got a mp7 recently and is the dogs b*llox good range, small, accurate and fairly silent on semi.

thebillynator

i got a m1911 gas blowback its savage but tis fair heavy

Jarate.

One of Glocks C series and a 50 round mag!!!

Stercus Accidit

Aep's are well reccomended, the glock ones can hold like 50 bb's or so?

And range and accuracy is good, and no gas cooldown and reliability to contend with.

mp7 is the same thing in a bigger package.

Firekitten

Ppk, or mostly my tm p226. Reliable, good range, and comfy to shoot.

Best sidearm would combine compact size, good range, and smallish mags. The more compact mags and weapon are, the easier they are to carry, draw without being seen, and quickly if need be.

If anyone mentions the mp5k, i'm going to hand out spankings :P Personally, the p90 is FAR too big as a sniper sidearm. It's an smg, not even an smp...

Don.t bother with one, you'll be a more effective sniper the least cr@p you have to carry. You'll always be out gunned if you are seen by people who are set up in battle loadouts with loads of mags and automatic rifles.


The Legend that is Liamo or "the bush", never carried any more than a rifle and a magazine with em. he was without a doubt the most effective user of the sniper rifle ive seen in airsoft.

I never seem to. I can take out my whole team in a sniper match. The trick is to hide in the most uninviting area wait for them to pass, shoot, run, they think your waiting for them somewhere else nice and cosy is a bush and then you flank, shoot, run, repeat. works every single time without fail

I never said who would be administering the spankings now did I?

Oh Rhinocharge? step up.

I've heard the Tauras PT 24/7 is supposed to be brilliant. Gas Non-Blowback with good range and power. I've been looking into the Ruger Mk1, and it's been called the most effective pistol for range and accuracy, but is quite loud so is also worth noting.

Dread-Lock

Yeah I've got a Taurus PT24/7 and its pretty damn accurate. It's also very gas efficient, the spec's say 250 shot per CO2 cartridge. I haven't counted myself but that would be about right.

But when I'm sniping I use my Mk.23 Socom.

Firekitten

The silenced model of the ruger mk1 is a breath.... the non silenced model isnt too bad really.

Most effective weapons i'd suggest being AEPs, and NBBs for the stealth factor, But personally I choose a Gbb. (I'll get onto that in a moment)

The aep is efficient, and compact, the g18c will fit in a huge number of holsters, including my personal favourite, the serpa. (g17 model one). The USP has advantages too...

When I owned both, I used the usp with a decent silencer as a backup. Quiet as a proverbial tomb. Main point of note, is small magazines that are easily stored... 3 to one pistol mag pouch generally.

They work perfectly in all weather too. (though they DO dislike getting 'really' wet. (as in swimming with one)

Nbbs are similar to gbbs, but with the added quietness brought from no moving slide... Nice, efficient, and general good all rounders, apart from in quite... adverse weather.

My personal preference of a gbb is multifaceted... I Use this sidearm as a last ditch weapon, or if I need to go noisy. I will do my level best to not get caught, if they are close enough to find me, i could use a rubber knife.... can't be bothered. In the UK theres a 25 meter minimum engagement range for sniper rifles (at 500fps), thus, a sidearm is generally a requirement. For me, the sidearm is for those times when I end up moving with a squad, or caught in the open, when stealth isnt a factor. If they get within 25 meters of me, they deserve to get me. My tm p226 non railed is a workhorse, and i hate to swap weapons when I own one that never lets me down. the most important requirement from a sidearm.

m249 personaly... cough...

Firekitten

Ah sure, but most of us are not chuck norris.... though I hear when sniping he uses an m1a1 abrams as a concealed backup... Perhaps a 249 is more Steven Segal?

Steven Segal is far superior to Chuck Norris...
and anyway, Segal doesnt have a back up because he never needs one...
DOY:p

for the topic though, i guess an aep/nbb for stealth and a gbb for fun:pac:

heretic. Everybody knows Segal is a poor substitute 'cause Chuck Norris flips out like only a ninja can.

Chuck Norris invented all the colours... except for pink, gungun invented pink

I think the best sidearm for a sniper is your spotter with an M203, but failing that, something small and light. If you need anything else you've done something very wrong.

nice one on the spotter, im sure ehobby have a drop leg for one:D

but you all seem to think that chuck knobiss is best but i doubt you have seen the movie where Segal sliced an arrow coming at him in half with a sword...(belly of the beast):cool::pac:


oh, and you have a problem with pink?:P

Ah, but Segal didn't do a flying kick through the windscreen of a porsche driving towards him, taking out the driver (Good Guys Wear Black) by crushing the trachea and/or breaking the neck with a well-placed cowboy boot . That was badass ...

Pink is for,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, desert camo!! And chuck Norris can slam a revolving door!

It may not be practical but in the real world some snipers stalk with a service rifle carrying their "long" in a drag bag. To create a look you could do this? Then you could use your aeg as back up.

Not always...

Depending on situation, and proximity to target, the sniper carries his long, and stowes his service rifle. Considering airsoft nearly always falls into this category... its not too bad to just carry the rifle, Though Royal Marine snipers carry thier l115a3 and a sidearm, no rifle on stalks.

I did at one milsim game, tab out into the game area with burgen and dragbag containing my long, and carry an aeg and sidearm as fighting order. Painful, and milsim fodder only I'm afraid. Its just not practical at all considering the duration and area of most airsoft games. You just don't get the hours alone and distance from target to operate that way. There are some times in airsoft where copying the military works, but for airsoft, sniping is a lot more like hunting than its military equivalent. We just operate too close for it to work the same.

You could also use claymores, you can mine approches so no body sneaks up or mine staging points/ cover that may be used if the enemy are going to assault your position.
