well, how many airsoft snipers are going to take hours to reach and get into a perfect, concealed shooting position?
how many airsoft snipers are going to wait days---even maybe as long as a week, for their target to appear and to be able to make JUST one shot? and STAY in that position for the entire length of that brutal amount of time? and maybe do all of that without eating, drinking, maybe even without sleeping? or going to the bathroom?
how many airsoft snipers would lay there in the bush in complete silence, and let snakes, spiders, ticks---crawl all over them because they knew that any sort of movement would alert their target/enemy? How many would let the mosquitos eat them near alive, or let blood-sucking leeches crawl on them and have a good meal? and not raise a hand to knock them away?
how many airsoft snipers would do any and or all of the above, knowing that if he made a mistake---just one, or if that the enemy troopers all around him were any good---they could end up blowing his head off with a real, bullet shooting gun or explosive grenade?
how many airsoft snipers would be willing to do the same as above, knowing that if they got captured by the enemy, it WOULD mean horrible torture---and certain bloody execution?
how does shooting a BB weapon that goes only a few hundred feet, has virtually no---or very little---recoil, and does not actually blow its target's brains out all over the grass---prepare an airsofter for real, long distance, military sniping?
and all of the above is the difference between an airsoft sniper having some fun in the woods with his friends, and a REAL sniper stalking a target on a real world mission full of dangerous and deadly enemies.
other than maybe a bit of sneaking around and covering up with brush, there just ain't ANY comparison between playing airsoft and real world sniping. so how do you figure that being good at airsoft sniping or playing a video game would make you GOOD at being in the military or being a military sniper? doh!
and sure...trash talking with your buds is funny and cool... but honest to God bragging and pretending you are something that you are not, only lowers you in the sight of others. how can that be good for competition?
i mean no disrespect, but it sounds like you have some growing to do...or some experiences to experience. please, don't let dudes talking smack and video games TRICK you into thinking that's how real life is. read some books, do some research, talk to people that REALLY know what's going on. there is a ton of GREAT books available about real combat if you are interested in that subject. check it out.
Salute!
