Airsoft right? Easy, because they are noobs.
Video games and TV. Maybe even shooting a real rifle. For some reason because its a rifle, its going to outrage an AEG. But, they are noobs and inexperience and don't know that most AEGs not only match most of the effective range but will put more plastic at them in a shorter amount of time. The cost of the weapon is also cheaper in most cases, with some including a scope and bipod. No batteries that cost more than half the gun or the need for a charger.
We have a lot of good people that "snipe" and have been playing for a while and are very good. These are your exceptions.
I'd only enjoy it if I could successfully stalk someone in the woods, take them out, and run away like a little girl before the rest of the time can catch me.
BigRed knows what I'm talking about.
