What airsoft sniper should i get?

There a few guns and I was looking at and one is the ECHO 1 M28 sniper that shots 500+ fps and comes with a bipod and is a bolt action spring gun. The other gun is the Airsoft GI I4-A3 DMR airsoft gun. this gun is an automatic and shoots 290-300 fps. The ECHO 1 M28 is $175.00 with free shipping. The Airsoft GI I4-A3 DMR airsoft gun is $355.00 with free shipping and that includes me buying the charger is $35.00 the bipod is $35.00 the battery is $35.00 the gun alone is $245.00. I would like your guys opinion on what gun I should get I will post pics and videos of these guns please rate comment and subscribe.

Its a great gun. Ejects shells, receives 330FPS with a .20gram bb and also ejects shells. I have the real wood, full metal version. And besides, save yourself a bunch of money. Its only $110.00 (But I live in Ireland). I bought it when I lived in New York.

go with the echo, airsoft-gi is way to expensive, just about any gun they sell you can find at a better price anywhere else. also echo is a very good brand from what ive heard. go to  http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/default.asp they have much better prices.

if it were my decicion, I would go with the ECHO1 M28. normally I don't like spring action guns, but echo1 is a very good brand, and when you look at the price difference and very large velocity difference, the M28 is deffinantly the way to go. The airsoft GI is a brand I have not heard of, and with the velocity bieng so low and the price so high, i personally wouldn't even consider purchasing the gun at all. save yourself alot of trouble and cash. you will do just fine with the ECHO1, and look cool if you play with backyarders, and not get laughed off the field if your playing pro.

are you talking as a secondary? a good combo for a sniper would be the echo1 gun your looking at, and as a secondary a non-blowback c02 handgun, something like the airmag c11 by crossman would be good if your looking for something cheap that wont need to take much abuse. I'm personally more partial to the non blowback for snipers because there are no moving parts to get cought in your ghillie suit.

that is a good setup depending on what your playing. that is great if your playing backyard against your friends, but try do get into a pro game with that and you'll be laughed off the field. a good setup would be the ECHO1 sniper, airmag c11 gas pistol, and a full ghillie suit. this would be a little much if your just playing in the backyard, but anything where range would be required you will do great with this setup.
