L96 AWP Airsoft Sniper Rifle – Black, Spring Bolt-Action, 400 FPS, Adjustable Hop-Up

Searching for an L96? This black L96 AWP airsoft sniper rifle is a full-size replica of the bolt-action rifle that defined the modern sniper, with no firearms licence, gun safe or ammunition permit needed. It fires 6 mm BBs with a spring, one carefully aimed shot at a time, at 400 FPS (1.49 J) with 0.20 g BBs.

The rifle behind the replica

In the early 1980s the British Army replaced its Lee-Enfield-based L42A1 sniper rifles with a new British design, adopted as the L96A1. Its successor, the Arctic Warfare, was developed for the Swedish Army to work reliably in extreme cold, and its police version became known as the AWP. The family went on to serve with armies and police forces around the world, and anyone who has played Counter-Strike knows the AWP silhouette on sight.

Built for the airsoft sniper

• Spring bolt-action: one pull of the bolt, one shot. No batteries, no gas, and it works in any weather.
• 400 FPS / 1.49 J with 0.20 g BBs: enough power for long field shots with heavier ammunition.
• 445 mm inner barrel in a 1120 mm rifle, for a stable, consistent BB flight.
• Adjustable hop-up: a wheel under the barrel lets you tune the backspin to your BB weight.
• Scope rail on the receiver for a scope or red dot, and a bipod can be fitted for steady prone shooting.
• Solid build: metal and polymer construction with a heavy, planted feel of about 3.6 kg.

Best BBs for this rifle

At 1.49 J this rifle sits right in the sweet spot for 0.30 g precision sniper BBs: heavy enough to hold a straight line in wind, light enough for the hop-up to lift them. Turn the hop-up up until the BB flies flat, and always use the same weight for consistent shots. A BB speed loader makes refilling the magazine quick between games.
