Should i get an airsoft assault rifle or sniper rifle?

I'd go with a higher powered AEG AR, that way if you want to you can snipe, or get in on the action. depending on what your budget is, you may want to check out brands like AGM and JG, both of which make fairly good guns for pretty cheap. I'd get something w/ an fps around 380-420 also you might want to check out these sites http://www.airsoftpost.com/index.php http://www.airsoftgi.com/index.php

for airsoft i would probably get an assault rifle or a battle rifle such as an m14, or a DMR/DSR(designated marksman rifle/designated sniper rifle,) something like an m14 can function as both a sniper and an assault rifle, but i would recommend thinking about weight an manueverability. also snipers in airsoft is much different than a sniper in COD you are still at a fairly close range, at which most times a regular assault rifle will be able to reach, so i would recommend getting an electric gun that can function as both a sniper and an assault rifle such as a g3 an m14 or maybe even an AUG, another gun which i would recommend if you re looking for a regular assault rifle would be a g36. it can also funtion as a close quarters weapon if you fold the stock anyway have fun choosing a gun you can love and have fun playing airsoft

ASSault

You should get an assault rifle with scope. It is pretty accurate and it's good for close quarters.

Sniper oh yeah
