Choosing between this gun and the L96? I got both so I can help ye out a bit. 1st off being a sniper involves alot of patience. But this gun doesnt. With a sniper you gotta remember u have 1 shot. With this gun you got about 25 per second to throw at the enemy when ever you want. The sniper would also be alot better for sneaking with because it doesnt make any loud sounds to give you away. you shoot with the m16 every 1 within a 5 mile radius will know.
In the end, its your choice ( I chose both) but i'd recommend this gun to start off with and buy the L96 later when you find out what you like to do. Specs of the M16: Fast shooting medium weight average fps is 420, 425fps the gun is sturdy its internals are well put together
Hopes this helped you bob as well as others.

You should probably get this, as idk about you, but I find myself using my AR much more often than my sniper.

I saw this gun a while back, and I wanted to buy it, but then I found the Well L96 and MB-05, and I don't know if I should get a sniper rifle or this AEG. Can anyone help me, and maybe put real specs on the MB-05 and L96, because everyone has conflictiong specs. PLease help.

I purchased this gun for my son. After less than 3 weeks the piston wore out. Airsoft Megastore did provide some technical support but I was told the gun was out of warranty. I thought this was a little disappointing. I expected to be able to exchange the gun. I ended up doing a little research and buying a new piston online. I replaced it which took a little time but was doable for someone who has never done this before. It shoots good again with good power and decent accuracy.
