the venerable WA2000 A very "Hitman" sniper rifle.

Airsoft version here ;P Circa 1993, gas powered made by Asahi. (Just in case you can't afford or find a real 1) :wink:

The wa2000 looks cool and could shoot very accurately. But it was very hard for a person to shot accurately consistantly. The stock design and the way the scope mounts in conjunction with normal cheek weld makes it very awkward. On a average bolt rifle the scope's crosshairs are 1"-2" above the barrel/action depending on the scope and mounts. But on the wa2000 the scope sits up 4"+ and in extreme cases like the scope in the pic even higher, so unless you have a long face it's dificult to get the same sight picture. If you mount the gun as you norally would with a natural cheek weld your eye is looking at the scope mounts.

ORCA, How available is the airsoft verson? I must have it.

 

[ORCA]

VERY VERY Scarce. I dug around an old Airsoft shop in Japan for 1 of these about 5 years ago. In horribly beat up condition it went for $2000.00.

If you're really interested, drop an email over to this guy, Sniperx (Paul) [email protected] He owns all the guns in the following pic. And th eTop right is the WA2000. But he was last active on the topic of the WA2000 back in 2004 ;(

That pal of yours (cough P.H.) that owns that airsoft shop may have a line on these too ;P

and there's a guy in England who made 1 from scratch: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ianandwendycoombes/WA2000 Build pics/wa2000.htm

 

[brucelee]

Holy crap!


That dude from England!!!


Perhaps I should put my mind to something more like that!

 

[brucelee]

And btw, you and Adler... If I could combine your minds, I could rule the world.

 

[Adler]

Well we already have a nice Triumvirate with you, me, and orca.

 

[Jeremy]

And btw, you and Adler... If I could combine your minds, I could rule the world.

:twisted: God help us all lol

 

[Mndfusion]

yea, I thought about getting one of those... but I decided that it wasnt fancy enough....

 

[jamz]

Man, that scope alone is probably worth more than my entire collection, plus ammo.

 

[Nose Nuggets]

its just a fuckin Walther.

 

[ORCA]

LOL fusion! I though the same!!!

 

[Scirion]

Geneth also made an airsoft version, but it was apperently limited to 300, so good luck finding one of them either.

 

[only mortal]

shit bruce, that scope is friggin' massive!!! you planning to snipe some astronauts or what? :shock:

 

[Adler]

Im a walther man 100%. My fav pistols are almost all walthers and I really wished that they would get more into rifles. They did in ww2 and then let it die. How I would love a G41 or G43/K43.

 

[brucelee]

shit bruce, that scope is friggin' massive!!! you planning to snipe some astronauts or what? :shock:

Hell yeah, fuck those astronauts!

 

[Shad]

Hell yeah, fuck those astronauts!

Acting all smug, drinking their Tang. I agree.

 

[GTKrockeTT]
