Intervetion

Is the ARES intervention a good by or is the ARES CNC AW-338 better?

Both suck. Neither one can be upgraded very far. Instead, I'd go with a KJW (Tanaka clone) or Tanaka. Much more upgrades, as well as a larger user base whom you can ask for help. My KJW M700P is probably my most intimidating gun, mostly due to how quiet it is (plus, when people see the air hose going to the bottom of the mag they start to wonder what kind of monstrosity they're up against) - the gun sounds like a person flicking a pillow when it's fired, and while I haven't tested to check its maximum range, there is quite a bit of range to be had.

If it's anything like Socom Gear's M82, it's nothing more than a dressed-up M16 gearbox with a long barrel. Not worth it if you ask me (not to mention I just plain don't like the look of the Barret rifles). Besides, it'll probably weigh around 20lbs, so unless you're not moving around (which means you're not sniping effectively), you're going to regret buying it every time you pick it up. In short, unless it's for a specific scenario or a wallhanger, I wouldn't touch it.
