Never thought of those as sniper rifles. Wrong caliber and the set-up just isn'r right! Sorry Charlie.....

Interesting project but - seems rather a waste of effort to go this far on the main platform, other than a challenge to make best possible of it.

I don't really see the "Sniper" aspect of it, to me it just looks like a nicely tuned AR15 that's been setup for precision shooting while maintaing its compactness.
It could be considered a battle rifled tuned for longer range shooting. I like it, I just don't agree it's a "Sniper" rifle. I'd call it a "Zombie Popper". But I bet it works just fine for its owner and that's what is important.

Looks like maybe an "Urban Sniper"
whatever that is.
Looks like it would be downright awesome for plinking Pepsi cans off the top rail of the fencepost though.  |

Euc...
It an Airsoft rifle. Thats all they are allowed to own in Japan. Since they dont class as weapons, scale models with all the bells and whistles are quite popular over there. They have shooting contests with them and "battles". If you go to the site, its obvious that they only know about real guns from what they read about them. Most folks have never seen a gun except by the police, but alot of them arent even armed in many places. The guy that built the gun is a "custom" airsoft gunsmith. Had he any real experience with guns, he would have known not to engrave "smg" over the trigger as SMG denotes "sub machine gun" which shoots a pistol caliber. Even so...its a great peice of work.... |
