Supporters Raggedy_man Posted July 25, 2015 Supporters Posted July 25, 2015 Afternoon all, After playing on a couple of sites and in a whole host of game types I have realised I'm not the spray and pray type. This has got me thinking of a DMR, I have a WE Raptor at the moment but do I leave that and get something fresh or Upgrade? Any Advice is much appreciated as ever.
Adam3088 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Do you know what the dmr rules are at your local sites? A lot of places don't accommodate for them.
Supporters Raggedy_man Posted July 25, 2015 Author Supporters Posted July 25, 2015 I'm fairly sure you have to be locked to semi Auto. Finmere is 1 shoot every 3 seconds and I think its 500 fps too.
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 25, 2015 Supporters Posted July 25, 2015 sounds about right except I think snipers - bolt action go to 500fps but often aeg dmr's go to 425-450fps I think is my local rules (higher figure 450 think they allow if they trust you to know what a true 30m med is) that said 425 is only 75 over so I feel many could just get their normal aeg running as accurate as they can get (within sensible reason rather than spend $hitloads to gain a few metres for much more money) get ya gun running well increase the range and tighten groupings - then FULL AUTO THE F*CKERS !!!!! one of them should get the message across rather than eventually make a slightly longer greater shot then see it brushed off by some cheating mofo well that is my take on dmr's but maybe I might get a m14 one day or something as some places won't accept a CM M4 can be classed as a true dmr (its a toy gun ffs - but again it is just my opinion if they won't allow me to use a 450fps b500a1) ImTriggerHappy, Samurai and Raggedy_man 3
Supporters Samurai Posted July 25, 2015 Supporters Posted July 25, 2015 I'm with Duck on this. DMRs don't have too much extra range but the MED is a big disadvantage. If you get your AEG very accurate and use it on single, that's DMR enough. That's what I do. The auto doesn't even work on my AEG. Single only, very accurate and just below 350. Scope can be useful but not a necessity. Raggedy_man and ImTriggerHappy 2
Supporters Raggedy_man Posted July 25, 2015 Author Supporters Posted July 25, 2015 Sounds a plan to me, cheers folks I do appreciated your time.
Adam3088 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 If you do want a 350fps AEG you can use in a dmr-ish way, I'd recommend the g&g ebr-l. Completely impractical to run around with (VERY front heavy), but if you like to sit back then the one I used had excellent range and accuracy for a stock gun. And if you did one day want to turn it into a full dmr, it has the look for it. Just make sure you get a good sling and a grip pod... Raggedy_man 1
TacMaster Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 The standard G&G M14 can be used as a DMR out of the box, Airsoft_Ed's M14 was doing 390 out of the box. Apparently it was a really good shooter after he'd installed a tightbore and when using heavyweight ammunition. Raggedy_man 1
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 25, 2015 Supporters Posted July 25, 2015 G&G's use conventional gears in the bespoke box other m14's use the special gears - think the spur/middle gear is the main difference in some like cyma 032's n others often these have the longer stroke cylinders/pistons to allow for more air on 550-570 barrels but also other bits like hop units are not so easy to come by or obtain as easily as the boring m4 or ak's with all the numerous variations on some of the m14 models when I looked into them I thought yeah I think I'll wait a while longer to see if I really need one as much as I think I might do and so due to the internal parts being like a lottery (yes you can always buy a G&G with G&G parts) I thought - nah, will leave it a while longer and stick to the normal stuff for now Raggedy_man 1
Okto Eight Milsim Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Depends on what you plan to do with a DMR. Its a half way house between an ordinary assault rifle and a sniper rifle. If you are going to have it locked to single shot and be the subject of a minimum engagement distance anyway, you could argue that you might as well just go to a full bolt action sniper rifle. If the role of carrying a DMR in a squad appeals, then you might just as well stick to the normal fps limits and make your rifle a cosmetic DMR. An increasing number of sites are asking for "real world" DMRs, so you couldn't just put a high power scope on an MP5. This is slightly contentious, especially amongst skirmish sites. We only do milsim, so we ask players to enter into the spirit by trying to adopt a rifle type that is used in the real world as a DMR. We have a 420fps limit with MED of 30m and rifles have to be semi only.

Supporters Raggedy_man Posted July 28, 2015 Author Supporters Posted July 28, 2015 Now that's food for thought. I was thinking a SVD as they are lovely looking and there is a good variety of them about. Cheers for the reply! Happy 1
Okto Eight Milsim Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 SVD's are lovely rifles and quite a few of our regulars use them. Lots of choice on the market from springers up to the gucchi Real Sword. They are very long to handle so aren't that mobile and they look a bit naked without an optic - the decent Russian clone optics are quite expensive. Raggedy_man and Sitting Duck 2
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 28, 2015 Supporters Posted July 28, 2015 get the cocking handle aid for svd and that is one long mofo @ 1.2m scope - if you go for authentic one ain't cheap (wtf - its your toy gun use what ya want) often barrels in there may be 550-590 max but good thing is the bolt svd's use aeg springs aeg svd still come with full auto and semi - well mine did tbh - get an ak with 455-469mm tbb barrel on the 349.99fps limit running well - think you will kick a few M4 ar$es LOL - just beat me to some of the svd stuff Raggedy_man 1

Okto Eight Milsim Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 One of the joys of our game is that our players love to use Russian based airsoft weapons. We have our fair share of NATO weapons, but many revel in using AK derivatives, of which there are many. Dare I throw another mix into the ring - VSS Vintorez. Raggedy_man 1
Supporters Samurai Posted July 28, 2015 Supporters Posted July 28, 2015 Some sites require 18+ for the sniper role. Sitting Duck 1
Supporters Raggedy_man Posted July 28, 2015 Author Supporters Posted July 28, 2015 Thankfully my age is finally helping. Being 30 with a steady job is finally paying off!
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 28, 2015 Supporters Posted July 28, 2015 think that is coz they regard 18+ as being responsible enough to understand med mind you I've seen plenty of irresponsible adults to be fair - not sure where I fit in Raggedy_man 1

Supporters Raggedy_man Posted July 28, 2015 Author Supporters Posted July 28, 2015 Good point well presented Duck.
Okto Eight Milsim Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Some sites get a bit twitchy about CO2 guns. You might find some resistance. Raggedy_man 1

Root Admin proffrink Posted July 28, 2015 Root Admin Posted July 28, 2015 Not sure why you'd go for one over the TM given the price is near identical. They don't perform quite as well out of the box, but the external finish is supposed to be slightly better on the later batches. Raggedy_man 1
