An armless person can win any match with the G36E.

Type 88 FTW!

Bolt-actions are my personal favorites, because of the accuracy, damage, stability, and the zoom level of the sight. An L96 has become a must when I wish to play my best. Not saying that I have anything against semi's, but I see myself as a more effective player when if I miss, I can follow up with a shot that will kill. Rather than rattling off a couple shots and praying that I am somewhat precise.

For me, the semi's are just spray and pray, much like an assault rifle. There is no precision, no beauty in using them. It's rather boring for me. I mean, if I wanted to shoot off more than one round at a time, I'd change my kit to assault and at least have some body armor on me.

Just my opinion.
its a good opinion at that. i agree.

also with semi-auto's you get 're-aim' time if you don't get a headshot, another semi-auto benefit is that you are less likely to be spotted because you only fire one round at a time not 10.

Bolt, since they are almost 'hit-what-you-aim' weapons.
Semi autos have a too high deviation, especially when standing, plus their scope is only 3.33x and I'm too bad to deal with the recoil.
A well-placed headshot with a bolt action rifle will take out everyone. Only in close combat, it might not be the ultimate victory.

I'm the type of sniper that can do any sort of sniping, but I prefer more to be right in the thick of the action so the SVD and Type 88 are perfect for me...

My favourite sniper rifle is the M24 though...
