Quick Advice on Scopes:
Another piece of equipment you'll need to take into consideration is picking the right scope. It's important to take into consideration the range and accuracy of your airsoft rifle. We recommend a scope with relatively low magnifcation (3-5X magnfication). If you don't know what these numbers mean, I'll explain quickly.
Let's use a 4X32 powered scope. The first number (4) represents the power of the magnification. The object being viewed appears to be 4 times closer than it would be if viewed without the scope. It's a common misconception to think that the higher the magnification, the better off you'll be. This isn't necessarily true. For airsoft, a 3x or 4x magnification scope is perfect.
The second number is the diameter of the front lens (in millimeters). The larger the lens, the more light that enters the scope, and thus the brighter the image.
If you see a scope that says 3-9X32, for example, the 3-9 simply means you can adjust the magnification from 3 to 9 times magnification, and the front lens is 32mm.

What do you do when you're faced against an overwhelming force with no chance of reinforcements? How are you supposed to "harass troops" when it's you against a squad of 5, 6, 7, or even more opponents? Do you stay quiet and let larger forces pass by? Do you take out a few and run? Or do you relentlessly continue fire on them?
