He cant put the SSG-24 In the Top 3, bcuz they dont sell it. That would be bad for business if he had any Novirstch weapons at #1. Bcuz Novirtsch produces the same variants of Matt's Top 3.
Do you guys not understand that the reason the fps is so low on tokyo maruis is because of Japans fps restrictions? Then again TMs are the most high quality and upgradeable guns on the market.
Jokes on you, my sniper is as loud as possible so they don’t know where I am cause I’m everywhere! Actually I just want to save up enough money for a SRS as my first and only sniper.
I saw Matt one time at the Evike superstore, I was with my girlfriend and I whispered to her "Look, that's the guy from the airsoft videos I watch". I waved at him and he waved back at me! I felt like I was seeing an actor/movie star in public it was so cool 😄 I also really appreciate the recognition matt gives to WwII guns. #WwIIGang
@@Himmy12345 Unless you're experienced in the sport and specifically on your local field, it's best advised to not get into sniping until you're older. Setting aside the increased length (a VSR-10 is about a solid 10 inches longer than a fully extended M4A1, meaning you have to stretch your arms out further to support the weight), sniping in real life requires more patience and familiarity with your surroundings to be successful (compared to video games, especially casual arena shooters like CoD or Fortnite). Something as simple as "a leaf got in the way" can make the difference between killing and being killed
@@evikecomif I may ask, what's a good set of ww2 japanese airsoft weapons? I want to make a ww2 Japanese and American set, and i kind of have an idea in terms of the american set. but i have no idea on the japanese set.
I started sniping as a 10 year AEG tech with the ASG sportline M40A3. I thought for sure with my knowledge I could turn it into a sick sniper. and I did by upgrading the spring and R-hopping the barrel and modifying the stock hop-up chamber with the eraser mod. It was matching ranges with $1000+ VSR10s and still cost me less than $100. However, the downfall was the parts availability. the heavy M170 spring I was using wore out the stock plastic 45 degree piston and aftermarket pistons do NOT exist for the gun. So I "upgraded" to the JG BAR 10 and never looked back. since its only $25 more than the sportline M40A3, its a MUCH better value and for that reason alone, I would HIGHLY recommend the BAR 10 over the sportline to anyone looking to get into sniping. its almost insulting that the sportline is on his list and NOT the BAR 10 lol. if his #1 is the TM VSR10, then the BAR 10 should have been his #2 since all the parts are completely compatible.
True, it's the best VSR10 platform in that price range. Solid external quality, easy to upgrade and so on. Built several BAR10 with AA, Airsoftpro parts and so on. Always works (y)
The K98 would definitely be my number one. I have a few airsoft guns pretty much for collection purposes, and I made sure to buy 2 of the K98 with ejecting metal cartridges, they were expensive as hell but they're really really cool
When Airsoft was taking off here in Texas back in 2002/2003, I ran a simple APS-2 with a zero trigger, upgraded cylinder and hop up, and .30 BBs. Those were the days.
This rifle has lots of power ru-vid.comUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL , hard recoil and a little heavier than expected which affects accuracy, especially when firing freehand or hunting small game. Really rough on sites, as it often moves inside mounting rings. Replaced sight with a UTG Bugbuster, which required medium height mounting rings, but improved accuracy while sighting in as shown in attached photo, at 20 yards using Gamo Match Diablo pellets at 7.56 grain. Nonetheless, I am still trying to figure out where to install the mounting rings on the scope to avoid it from sliding around, as it becomes misaligned after about 50 or 60 shots. Currently considering using heavier pellets at about 9 grain with different tips like the H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme or the Crosman Ultra Magnum to see if accuracy improves. Overall, I am having lots of fun with this rifle.
As someone who loves bolt action rifles, and bolt action airsoft sniper rifles the most I absolutely loved this list! :) just added a handful of new guns to my wishlist on the website.
Had a DBoys Kar98K...still do...and used it a few times in freezing winter games until the whole chamber and bolt assembly ripped apart. It was around 10 years old. Did alright, even with the horrible "shells" to put the BBs in.
Would've definitely added the Ameoba Striker S2 as there's so much space for something like the Novritsch Suppressor to rival the G-spec in terms of sound report
Well, might finally take the plunge and go with one of these now. Getting old so could save some boot leather and hang at the back letting the youngsters have the breach and clear fun.
I personally own an SSG-24, but I also would have chosen the VSR-10 GSPEC as Nr.1, because of all the reasons mentioned. I was just too lazy to upgrade it.
Can you try to do a full breakdown on power supply? I think a "Power supply line" breakdown on just electric, and the main differences between gas/air setups and why you might use them (climates/circumstances/price) would be a big one for beginners. Keep it up guys, great videos.
This is an excellent suggestion and something we are actively working on! We do have the information available on various videos, albeit a bit fragmented. It's our goal to make a more condensed and easily accessible series in the near future. Stay tuned and stay awesome!

My WA2000 was expensive and it's heavy and weird to use because of the over-the-barrel bipod, but IT NEVER MISSES! And the real wood looks beautiful. I've seen videos of other people firing one and it's not just me, the thing is really accurate.
Personally I'd go cyma 701b over the TM gspec. Cheap, you going to change parts anyway and if you don't up front at least it'll fire at 450 rather than 300. That's why the gspec is so much quieter, you don't get nearly the same thud from the piston hitting the cylinder head. Interesting over view though 👍👍
@@am37_SR but why is it, good. If it's cause it's quiet, so should a well tuned 701b. Is it cause it shoots far, and out of the box 701b will shoot further. Is it because it's well made, you're going to change all the parts anyway. Is it cause it's vsr, so is the 701b. Atm I see no reason to buy a gspec as they are no better and more expensive.
i’m so glad he said the VSR-10. like i wanted to say it’d be his #1, but i wasn’t sure because he had said some things ab the mag placement earlier, but im glad he did because it’s also my favorite
I have a CYMA VSR-10. I've been pretty impressed so far. Mine costed about $125 on Evike. Plus the extra maybe $100 give or take I spent on the scope, bipod, and mini red dot I put on top. I also bought a bore sight laser from Walmart to zero my scope so I didn't have to take apart the rifle to look down the barrel. Plus I can't forget the Arcturus ghillie suit and rifle wrap I got, completing my sniper loadout, COD4 All Ghillied Up style. Man am I glad I have a job.
I have the asg m40a3 sport line and it’s only 80 it’s amazing! I’ve gotten so many kills with it and it’s dead on with .30 bbs and the hop up can shoot up to .45 is my experience
I have the amoeba striker as02 and the whole striker series is really good for a decent price depending on where you get it. I would definitely recommend it to be the top sniper
My fafourite spring powerd sniper rivelm is the Airsoft Kar98k shell ejekting and in wood and metal. It's just so realistic that the shells get ejected once you pull that bolt backwards.
Not to mention that my A1 is WAY quieter than that TM VSR10 Gspec. Sure, there are a few mods, like supressor and Airbrake, but Evike sells those upgrades too (when they are in stock).
Most important info to include in reviews: 1) Does it have a 90 degree trigger? 2) How accurate is it? (Show it shooting, include a "scope camp" view) 3) What FPS? 4) How well does the hopup work with ammo you'd actually use w/a sniper such as.40 BBs? How it looks, is not even in the top 5 important factors...
I have three springer snipers, the Sportline M40A3, a JG BAR-10, and an Ares Amoeba S-2. The S-2 is the "Fast Urban Compact Tactical". It has a 1-6x Firefield, a vertical forward grip, and my idea of a "Stable-Quik" sling. I kind of got carried away with adding accessories to it. 😂
Don’t sleep on the Matrix Kar98k I can’t speak for the Tanaka works version but I have the Faux wood version from Matrix and it’s extremely accurate. Despite the stock sounding hollow it does have some nice weight to it which makes it feel a little more realistic. I just bought the Springfield Armory M1 Carbine so I’m waiting on that one to come next
I have the Ares AW338 and it's awesome. It's nearly nonexistent because it's been discontinued for quite a while and they may be found if someone is selling theirs online. I've always wanted it since my childhood and now I was able to obtain it many years later.
Great video would love to get back into air soft again lost everything in a hurricane but the karr98 was one of my favorite rifles second only to my shotgun but they are all lost great video tho and gotta agree with all your choices
@@deadlywolf3017 the ssg10 has a bit of a different design in hop up chamber and has the hop up rings included, the ssg24 dose not. I own both so I would know. The rest of the gun yes I agree they are pretty much the same thing.
My number one favorite is the Striker, hands down. The second I get one, I plan to see if the shop I buy it from could do a quick mod to it to shorten the outer barrel to use a 430mm(standard vsr length) inner barrel instead of the 550mm it has stock. For one, it will increase the barrel compatibility and two, it will help it perform much better due to the much lower air volume. P.S. I really like these styles of videos and I think you should keep doing them and to make it really cool would be to have the same categories but different people to see the wide aray of interest of guns.

Hey Matt, love your videos! I have a question on Bolt. The brand had a lot of reviews a long time ago and suddenly, there waa hardly any news on them. Looked for reviews on the brand and mostly came up negative. Could you do another review on the brand or share your thoughts on reliability and compare their recoil system with other brands?
Why no mention of the Action Army AAC T10? Possibility because its banned in the USA... Its priced, great stock parts make for cheap upgrade, and it looks very sexy 👌
I just got into airsoft and have recently purchased the MB01 Shadow ops sniper, it only does 450 fps should i get the available upgrade kit or is it fine how it is (I got this all from evike)
I would say 450 FPS is perfect for a sniper don’t get anything higher unless you wanna get kicked off a field for making a little kid scream cause of how hard that’ll hit
All these people commenting you haven’t even watched the video... but hey whatever makes you feel good I guess. PS what up Matt you guys should visit Virginia.
The mauser karibiner 98 kurz (kar98k) wasn't actualy a sniper rifle but an infantry rifle. Although it was used as a sniper it wasn't the main purpose of the rifle
I have fired the AW338 or L96 sniper rifle with both lapua 338 and 7.67 ammo and I must say it's a very accurate sniper rifle seen kills from 2000,mtrs Accuracy International make a hell of a good rifle
