Should I get the L96 airsoft sniper rifle, or look for an assault rifle. If an assault rifle, then whats good?

Question

My friend will sell me the sniper rifle for only 70$ (without addons, I.E; scope, bipod, etc.). I tried it out, and I liked how accurate and easy to use it was. But I prefer to be in the middle of the action, firing tons of rounds at onced. But I'm scared of getting shot because i've heard it hurts alot. What would be a better choice? Should i get the sniper rifle, or go look for an assault rifle or something else...And if I should look for an Assault rifle...what would be a good one to get? If the sniper rifle, what should i get for a scope, and a secondary weapon like a pistol. You could probably guess now that im new to airsoft lol.

From the sounds of it, you would be best suited with an accurate AEG. Something like an M16, M14, or any other assault rifle with a long barrel. That way, you can still have near the accuracy of a sniper rifle, and the firepower of an assault rifle. As far as scopes go, I would get a basic red dot scope. That way, you have a simple aiming system, that can still be used for sharp shooting. For a handgun, you pretty much cant go wrong with a gas pistol. their powerful, and semi auto, good for those tight situations, where you run out of ammo, or dont have the right amout of space to manuver with a long rifle.

As far as pain goes, dont worry about it, its not bad. Kinda just like a small pinch for a few seconds. you will get used to it fast.

If you are a beginner to airsoft, then DON'T(!) get a sniper! Snipers are 100% for experenced players! Just because you can shoot someone on Call of Duty with a sniper, doesn't mean you can with airsoft. An AEG is the way to go! There are many good ones that can be found here: http://www.airsoftgi.com/

If you have $150 to spend, then get this AEG: http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.ph...
