W700 Super 9 Airsoft Sniper Rifle

OptimusPrime

Reasonably priced rifle from Airsoft World and fires at 400fps if you think it's underpowered... "Now here is a blast from the past! When Frenchie was a newbie (1879 - Spud-gun era) and the internet was still steam driven, he had one of these rifles, bought second hand. They weren't terribly well regarded and they didn't shoot brilliantly but our neophyte gun-god had hours of fun using it.

Many years later, the Super 9 is still going! Not only is it still going, but it is better than ever!

Power is now up to 400 fps with 0.2g BBs, but there is an adjustable hop unit, which although a bit unique, works very well and is easy to use. It still comes with the rotary magazine and the fake shells, there is still the odd stick magazine for skirmishing and it is still a million feet long!!

Reality check time however. This is the cheapest bolt action rifle we have ever offered and you shouldn't think that it is some super-duper custom rifle. Strangely it shoots best with 0.2g BBs being very consistent in its shot placement although it will handle up to 0.3s.



The shell loading system is purely for fun otherwise you'll spend your entire life looking for used shells!

There is no obvious upgrade path for the Super 9 although we should be able to source spares direct from the manufacturer.

So, if you want something that is fun, shoots quite well and won't break the bank - this is most definitely for you. If you want to shoot the proverbials off a gnat at 1,000 yards, look elsewhere!"
