It depends on the type of area you play on. If you like CQB (close quarters combat) or medium-sized areas, you should buy an airsoft AEG. However, if you prefer playing in fields or forests, then you should go for a sniper rifle. It also depends on your type of play: if you're more of the spray n' pray type, you should go for an AEG. If you're more of the one shot one kill kind, then you should go for a sniper rifle.

Also, sniper rifles tend to be more reliable, since no batteries or gas are needed. But sniping is not like the movies or real life airsoft snipers are NOT more accurate than an aeg and needs to be upgraded out of the box. Generally being a sniper would require a gun of at $500+ upgraded if you can't save up for this then you don't have the patience of a sniper anyways.

Or, I would buy the UTG Shadow Ops Type 96. ( See the link bellow ) It is the opposite of what this person above is saying. It's cheap, it's affordable at $130.00 + S&H, and is shooting hot right out of the box at 450-530 Fps. (I chronoed this with .20g and .25g) This gun requires no modification. The scope option you can get with it is very nice. This gun is extremely accurate and can hit another player at 250 feet with ease. I would get a sniper because it is cheaper than any AEG.

Is an airsoft sniper rifle better than an airsoft aeg?

There really is no answer to that question, because it is based on opinion and personal preference. An airsoft sniper rifle and an airsoft aeg are two different things, and since aegs can be full or semi auto, and sniper rifle are only bolt action or spring, there really is no comparison. Sniper rifles are more powerful, but aegs have a much higher rate of fire. It all depends on what you want to use and what you like better.

What should your second airsoft gun be?

It all depends what your first one is and the quality of it. If your first Airsoft Gun is a AEG, then you should probably but a decent gas pistol for backup. If you decided to become a sniper and you bought a sniper rifle as your first gun then you should look into small battery powered AEGs such as MP5Ks or MP5s. But overall, a good gas pistol would be an overall upgrade to anyones arsenal.


Which is a better airsoft sniper the UTG MK96 shadows ops spring airsoft sniper rifle or the UTG M14 AEG electric rifle?

I would go with the UTG M14 AEG Electric Sniper Rifle Wood, because it is electric, which means that it has both Semi and Full Auto modes; where the UTG MK96 Shadow Ops Spring Rifle will be Single shot only. The answer would depend on what kind of a game you are wanting to play. The M14 would provide a more open ended platform for play, as you can play in full aeg mode and provide cover fire, and then go to semi mode and do some sniping. If you are wanting to only play as a sniper, you might want to go full out and get a designated sniper rifle and all the kit. Personally I would probably agree with the first poster and go with the m14 simply for a more versatile weapon. Most serious snipers go with a bolt action spring rifle for power and reliability.

Does any spring fit in any airsoft sniper?

No they don't. If you know what your doing then buy a different sniper spring or get a professional to do it for you. But it has to be a spring from another sniper not just from an other AEG. But remember not all Sniper springs will fit so beware of that. To find out which ones fit and which ones don't go into a Airsoft shop and they will do it for you.
