What do you think is the best Sniper Weapon?

Post by DuckArmyLeader » Sun Feb 06, 2005 7:00 am

mine is the 2005 backpack aggressor (I can't remember the name) but I have not been battling for long. (I started in mid-summer 2003) and sorry if this is in the wrong place I did not know :huh:

The best one I have is the CPS 2500, but probably the CPS 2000 is the best for sniping, although home-mades would be best if your counting them.

Welcome to SSCentral! If you haven't, check out our Board Rules. No reason to worry about and apologize for putting something in the wrong forum. We'll just move it, that's not a problem just as long as you don't do it multiple times.

2005 backpack aggressor? Do you mean the AquaPack Devastator or last year's Triple Aggressor?

Which gun is best sniping weapon, in my opinion, has a very simple answer. Whichever has the best range! Of course, other factors like pumps to full and output should be involved, but honestly, most people who "snipe" run away after hitting their designated target.

To me, my guns with best range would be my homemades. ;)

The best sniping weapon is almost certainly an air-powered Water Balloon Launcher, such as nibordude made. However, if you want a good standard Super Soaker for sniping, a light XP 310 or XP 110 would be pretty good, since for sniping in those situations, you're going to often need to move away pretty fast.

CPS 2100 is light, powerful, and has decent range for sniping.

Do you mean you think the best sniping gun is the Devastator, or just that that's the blaster you have?

And don't worry about the "2005 backpack aggressor", it was rather amusing in retrospect. :D

Do you think I should k-mod my CPS 2100 for sniping?

If you want to get sniping range on it, perform a CVF with a 60 balloon k-mod (and remember, use 12" balloons&#33 ;) .

(on topic) The best sniper weapon is proably a CPS 25000, although the CPS 2000 Mk2 is a close comaprison.

Are you sure that's a word?

And do you think that I should paint it camo and make it a strap if I'm going to use it for sniping?

Definitely go for it! I would suggest using spray paint instead of other types of paint because spray paint dries very fast and sanding isn't necessary. I also suggest preforming a multi-nozzle mod which is much more simple than it looks. Takes 15 minutes or less to do if you read and understand the article on this site. It allows you to make different nozzles which is helpful because the CPS 2100 only comes with one. Plus, the nozzle mod will laminate the spray-like stream that you get after modding. As for the number of balloons for the k-mod, 70-80 balloons will get you the optimal range. But don't go above 80 balloons and doing a Check Valve Freeze is necessary for a heavy k-mod.

I think he meant comparing them, but with comparisan. I don't even know how to spell the thing. :Hey, that's funny.:

While we're on the topic of his spelling, note the "proably." Also note that he said "CPS 25000" (which isn't possible because you Collosus CPS 2500s, not K-mod). Bring his signature into this and you've got one hypocrite. Drewsky, as much as I welcome you back to the board, I also would like to inform you that you were banned for several months, and firing off the other "n" word isn't going to get you respect around here. Read our rules to learn what will.

The spell check button is a few inches at most from the reply one. Is it that hard to use? If you people keep ignoring it, I'll modify the board so that it won't let you reply without at least opening the spell check. :P I hit spell check on every post I have made since I installed the spell check.

To get back on topic, other than what Duxburian has said, you will also want to read the Streams article to learn how to optimize you gun for the highest possible range. You may not know the math involved, so if you need help, please get a parent or sibling to assist you. ;)
