dont go with a pump gun.  the flatline is the best "sniper" barrel unless you can get closer to the enemys then use a regular barrel. any good 14inch barrel will be good. i reccommend the all american, its one of the quietest barrels out there and it has better accuracy than a bigshot or J&J ceramic.  go to www.firstcallpaintball.com and they are having a special sale on the 2001 models, which by the way have better ratings than the newer ones, and they are on sale for only $23!

the all american wont match the distance, but at closer ranges yes. it does have better accuracy than the flatline does at closer ranges.

Hey and also what do you think about the weight since with all that crap mounted it does weight pretty much even with a remote line...what other semi--automatic guns would you recommend that would be a good sniper marker and that weights lesser....to tell you the truth I am looking for something that has :

Durability....Less weight.....Hardly any noise...Versatility....Accurancy and range...

ok, noise, accuracy, and range all depend on the barrel.  besides the hop-up which is for armotech guns only which also cost hundreds of dollars, the flatline is the ONLY barrel that will give you extra range. all barrels have the same range except for flatline. some accurate barrels are the Lapco Bigshot, J&J Ceramic, Custom Products one piece,Smart Parts Freak, Smart Parts All American.  out of all of those the all american is by far without a question the quietest. 32 degrees makes a lot of quiet barrels, but they are not strong in accuracy.  the all american is your best choice for noise level+accuracy. the only thing you can do about weight is a remote line, or get stronger. tippmanns are the most durable guns you will be able to buy without a question.

LOL "get stonger" pretty good advice.....I can lift the marker but the thing is that to be a sniper sometimes u need to move fast but its OK thanks any ways....and ...what do you do to cover up your hopper when you play in woods since I think the hopper is the only thing sticking out that may give your position away....

Do you think using ghillie suits will really work on sniping or is it a waste of money?

well the best you can do is buy a camo cover that goes over your hopper, it will help you blend in. dont worry about hopper shots, they dont hapen to much.

well, i wouldnt by a guillie suit because the terrain will change from field to field. and they only make guillie suits that match individul terrain. and that would also add wieght to you yourself.  i would only use one for scenario games that cover miles of land anyway because its still really easy to be seen in one in regular woodsball fields because they arent that big.

instead of covering your marker with something, i would suggest an actualy camo paintjob. you can get any to fit your playing area.
