What is your play style?? M14 is a all rounder really.... The Mag size is reasonable and it has semi and Auto ( I think ) While teh L96A1 is a Sniper only weapon which one do you prefer??

Indeed, L96 is Sniper-only, better for range BUT vulnerable for middle, short and getting out flanked. The M14 isn't so great for long range, but at middle and short range (which to be honest is far more common then long) it's more effective; it has full-auto which is virtualy a must for any main weapon in airsofting (especially considering you have a habit of going lone wolf, and getting caught out solo, you'll need that full-auto ). Plus, of course, you can always work up to upgrades on the M14 (higher power, tighbore, etc) to max out it's range and accuracy as best you can but conversely you can never modify the L96 to shoot faster or increase ammo capacity (well, not using conventional upgrades anyway ).

Yes I totally agree with Arclight the M14 act more like a markman more then proper sniper but the M14 could upgrade to a level of sniper rifle but without the precise accuracy...

Indeed, DMR; which for a proper sniper type player, is proably more practical for stand-alone deployment.

in that case, i'll prob head towards the M14 then!
thx for the comments guys!
*edit*
Anyone wanna give me a nicer discount for a Marui M14? or must i go for the Chinese one?

Well.... Do the Maths.. The Marui is $1400 I thinkie.. While the Chinese is $600 I thinkie again, The chinese come with 3 colours, quaility although may not be as high as the Marui's, but they are nearly 1/2 the price of the Marui.. Also, the Chinese version has the scope rail given to yuo, so you could save the money on something else.. I could go for the Marui if you plan on Long term Relation with the gun... ;D Or the Chineses Version as a one night stand Which one you do prefer? Woozie

Actually... any estimates on when an M14 SOCOM will be cloned? I'd be all over one of those babies.

Well true, it was good practive; as indeed it was for all of us, a good opertunity to un-rust/sharpen up those flanking/manevoring skills.

No, I probably couldn't, which is why I scored 4 kills with a 36 and 12+ with a pistol.
