Question about the Super 9

Jul 5, 2006 10:19pm
I am a noob to the role of a sniper, and I need a new gun. (I gave up airsoft a few years back and now I am picking up the sport again) There is currently a UHC Super 9 Airsoft Rifle that I can buy for 80 dollars. Is this gun any good? If it isnt, is there another gun I could use as a sniper in that price range?

most people are fasinated with sniping, alot of people thing its counterstrike....its not...if u want to be a sniper u have to spend money or els u wont experiance the art of sniping. its not just taking long range shots, its also recon, scouting. most of the time u dont even get to go through one full mag,because u never really get to the point of shooting someone, ur usually to far away. and cant take ur shot...if u wantt o buy a super9 be my guest...go waste ur money

Well now with a tad bit of research, I am now looking into a USR-11. Hopfully this will be a higher quality rifle than the super 9.

here is a web site that has some good snipers on it, but stay away from the UTG, im not sure about the Tac 9 Swat(also known as the x9) some guy at the last game had one, but im not sure how well it served him, if you let me know what your willing to spend ill help you, im bored as it is and i need something to do... oh and here is the web site

as head shot said sniping is an art i guesse, the only real good snipers at sacair games are Snoopy, Viper, and daggar. But ya most of the time i see some kid come out to a game ONCE with a 600$ sniper rifle and they think they are gona own everyone and they never get a shot off and then the next day its posted for sale. BUt ya buya super 9 ive seen them at games they suck, big time but hey it gets the job done i guesse. Hope the rant helped.

you know what. here is my experience.

all airsoft guns are the same, they lob BB's with the help of a cylinder similar to a bike pump.

How does the USR-11 perform? From what I have found, it shoots at a much lower speed out of the box, but I have read reviews stating that it is reliable and cheap and can be upgraded relatively easily.

Hummm last saturday I was snipping with headshot... the second game I pulled the triger a gran total of One Time... A fine use of a tanaka M700

[quote]have YOU used one?
Jul 6, 2006 4:58pm
What about a rifle that is in the same price range as the Super9? I have heard that the USR-11 is acceptable. Whats your guys take on it?
Jul 6, 2006 5:48pm
ok, so like many have said before, you get what you pay for. That USR 11 will serve you well on a street battle in one of your friends neighborhoods just like the uhc super nine. but if you want something that will hold up and do good in sacair games, you'll have to spend money. My friend has a super nine, and i've had a UTG and they arent up to sacair standards.

On a somewaht side note a good place to get the USR-11 is at

while youre there, order a laylax m130 spring. remove the realshock weights, and lube everything up you should be shooting aroung 460fps without spending over $150

thank you. . . i agree picoy. if you're gonna go sniping at sacair get a Type 96, M24, SVD or APS2. Something of that sort. The best to upgrade and the coolest looking.
Jul 6, 2006 7:34pm
Wow, I really am a noob at sniping. :D Guess that I should give up my pursuit for a rifle and just save for an aeg. Thank you so much for your help guys! Wish that when I lived in LA, the guys on the forums were this helpful.

Augustus is the USR crap because thats not what you guys were saying, just wondering i was under the impression that the VSR and the USR were basically the same, even with quality
Jul 6, 2006 10:06pm
the same thought proccess went in to the UTG line VS the TM line when the mp5s came out, they just arnt that good, but ive used the usr upgraded to 550fps and it wasnt a bad beginner snipper.
Jul 6, 2006 10:08pm

Just an update for any of you guys who are interested. I am currently pending a sale with Hellion for his MP7. Once again, thank you so much for your help and advice.
