I've been paintballing for quite awhile now, and after much deliberation I've come to see that it is simply too expensive for my own good, and I am making the switch to the cheaper, yet more realistic sport of Airsoft.
I'm currently shopping for a Sniper Rifle, at first my sights were set on the WELL G22 (looked amazing in pictures, Features show up to 510 FPS, and I could get a bipod, 3-9x40 Scope, a tactical laser unit, and an adjustable cheek rest all in the same package for a price of $155!). But very recently I stumbled upon some reviews on Wikipedia from buyers who said that Wellfire is "a mediocre company based on replicating cheaper, lesser quality guns from older/better Airsoft marketing companies such as Tokyo Marui". This made me search a little deeper and came across the UTG MK96 model, which reaches up to 460 FPS, comes with a bipod, picatinny rails, but no scope OR laser unit for about $140 to $160... Now I'm simply stuck, I need some answers/opinion from anyone who has access or had access to try out any of these guns, and please bother to point me in the right path as to buy the better of the deals.
And just to have it clear, I'm looking for something with high FPS, good range, good quality material that won't break/ come off/ shatter/ snap/ burst or fall to pieces on my very first crack at the sport, and most importantly something that won't tear a hole in my wallet.
