I have a question

[detention489]

I want to convert my style of play to sniper. I have a c98 and I want to either get a Lapco Bigshot Or a Flatline. Which one do you think would be better? Lapcos are the most accurate, but Flatlines have the most range. Which should I get?

You wanna be a sniper? I wouldn't get a Bigshot. They're loud, aren't they? The whole idea behind playing a "sniper" is stealth. Loud isn't good when trying to be stealthy. *chuckles*

Anyway...it depends. Do you have enough confidence to get close enough to someone if you're not going to use a flatline? If you can be stealthy enough, stick with something like a J&J, Armson Stealth, or a SmartParts All American. Get close to your target (somewhat), and lay down an accurate shot.

If you prefer to play back more and want less risk of getting hit, but maybe having to take more than 2-3 shots, go with the Flatline. Though, if you get the Flatline lined up correctly, the accuracy ISN'T that bad.

I myself have a Flatline, and I love it. I picked off someone from 200 feet. Without having to arc my gun really. But it did take me 2-3 shots. But they key was, I was far enough away, and caught them by surprise, they didn't know where they got hit from.

So, like I said, it depends. Get a bit more accuracy with a barrel that's not a flatline, or play farther away and sacrifice just a bit of accuracy and loudness. (Flatlines aren't as quiet as J&J, Stealth, or All-American either. But the distance...oh man...the distance...)

Well the flatline isnt incrediably accurate. But its got good range over all other barrels. You will probably miss the person giving your position away. But you can always spray them with the extra feet that you get with the flatline.
