The #1 Online Comunity for Airsoft Teams
Everyone wants to be a sniper?!?!?!?
Why is it that everyone that comes up to me and wants to join the Headhunters wants to be a sniper? What is the big deal about being a sniper? You stay in one area and wait for the enemy to come to you. Sure real snipers slowly move up to the target area and take their shot. In airsoft you have to be within 250 feet of your target. You may get one or two shots off and then you are no longer a sniper, you are a ground pounder because you have been discovered.
Not me, give me an objective and let me go reign terror on the thing. I want to be running around and raising HELL and stringing my enemy out so that they are easier to attack. Give me a two to three man team and watch the fire works start.
Why oh why does everyone want to be a sniper? I guess they have watched too many war movies. Sorry everyone but your not going to get that magic Hollywood shot from 900 meters away with an airsoft gun.
Snipers are cool if you have that scenerio built into your mission but not everyone can be a sniper so quit asking. We are a light infantry structured unit. We do not need any snipers. We need highly motivated people who are willing to run their asses off and send rounds down range.
That is my rant. Tell me what you think. If you disagree then you probably want to be a sniper. Sorry about that.

I agree with you 100%. I our team you must pass a sniper course of instruction, and then we only allow 1 sniper per 40 team members that equates to 1 per platoon. ( that is the ratio for a Russian platoon) A US Infantry only has 1 sniper for the whole company. If you apply realistic TO&E numbers to your team you will never have too many "specialists".
