New Gun

I wouldnt call myself a sniper, since a sniper is a military scout/sniper type person who is trained to make insanely long shots with a superiorly accurate weapon.  I would prefer to call my job "scout/marksman," since I make medium range shots and I dont sit around all day waiting for my target to come to me.  I just pick my target from the enemy line-up, usually the captain or heavy gunner, and I go find his muppet arse.  The object of the "sniper" isnt to just sit and camp, snipers are trained in the art of taking out one certain target without being seen or heard, so try that instead of getting a newby 21 inch barrel (a 14 or 16 will work just fine really, anything else is a waste of gas) and move around, and dont just shoot the first guy you come across, you gotta wait for the right moment, and always shoot from the back, so they dont see which way your shooting from, since paintballs dont fly as fast as a bullet. (duh)  Also, i found this AWESOME marksman weapon for paintballers... check this shiz out! http://www.specialopspaintball.com/articles/specops_longbow. asp

From my experience a sniper is someone who is

Hid very well

A very good shot

Quiet

And a sniper is someone who after they shoot you, your looking around pissed off wondering where the hell they are before you go to the dead box..

Its happend to me, Ive done it myself, and I know its happend to you..

what are you guys talking about,  a sniper doesnt need a response trigger.  a pump gun is all it takes!

Ok, I wish people would stop yelling at someone for saying they want to be a sniper. First off, a sniper is not a gun, its the person. If you want to try and snipe (aka use one well placed long distance shot to take someone out) go outside and practice shooting plates from a certain distance. You will not get wasted just because you try and sit back and "snipe".  You DO need to be within a reasonable range. Dont try to snipe so much as make careful medium distanced shots. You are not likely to succeed if you try and shoot someone from across a field. Try shooting from a closer difference. Now, as for a good gun to "snipe" with, my 98c actually does a good job. I have a Armson stealth barrel and it does very good at close-to-medium range. I also own a flatline, but am not a big fan of it. Also I would recommend a expansion chamber, or a remote line. The remote does just as good as an expansion chamber and lets you get that annoyingly heavy tank off of your gun. If you are going with a remote then you should consider a solid/teloscoping stock. Otherwise, just put the tnak up to your shoulder, works just as well. Response trigger or e-bolt is a waste of money in my opinion, as I can do just as well with 1 shot as many people can do with 20. You dont really need to be able to shoot faster than the stock 98 can fire. Also, a new front/rear bolt may also be a good idea. And the rocket cock for sure. Makes things cleaner and quieter.

ok I got a 2k4 BKO (anything but a sniper) and wit a lil pratice a can hit ppl in one shot easy but since i got da choas board in my gun I find hitting ppl wit 20 shots ( i have 20bos) with good accuracy is more fun

 Just get a 98 Custom and a good barrel (not over 14". 21" is just noob crap, Doyle). Then, practice practice practice! "Sniper" in the true military form is not likely in paintball (nor is it smart in most cases). I like to call my position "The Tactical Middle-player", or TTM. I stay in the Middle (rather than back because everyone is close in woodsball). Then I only used tacticaly placed shots to hit my target withen only a few well-placed shots when they peek out of a bunker. To do this you have to be quite and cammoed and well familiarized w/ your gun. Practice placing your shots from a while back.

NO NO NO. Why do all the noobs want to be snipers? WHY? WHY? WHY? Sniping in paintball= no good. You will lose so horribly.

you dont need sniper gear to be a sniper all you need is a paintball gun and skills.
