Airsoft Snipers-Spring or Gas?

I am thinking of getting me a nice airsoft sniper, but I'm not sure which one to buy.

I know:

Springs you need to cock every shot

The bolt action of a Sniper will make having a gas rifle somewhat pointless, but I want better firepower, range and accuracy.

So from people I want to know which is better?

Spring Action or Gas Action

NOTE: I plan on getting a Bolt action L96 so i'm not looking for firing rate

whichever one hurts more when you get shot

I have a spring powered sniper rifle (The UTG l96) and I think it is a great gun after a few upgrades. I like the bolt action just because it is far more reliable and is VERY easy to work on imo.

Spring all the way. With gas you have to worry about just that: gas. I have a JG BAR10 that shoots well over 520FPS with .30 BBs (with upgrades of course) and I only spent about $260 total. The gun itself being the bulk of the cost ($110). So for a cost effective purchase, spring all the way.

i'd get a gas powered one. i went to the airsoft gun range with my friend and he thought his spring guns were top-notch, but everyone had gas powered guns. and i think 2 of his guns jammed.themagicbum9720
