This is my story
My Name is Novritsch, I’m 22 years old and I’m living in Vienna, the capital city of Austria. After finishing a technical high school, I completed a sniper education of six months
at the Austrian Military. At the moment I am working as a technical engineer in Europe
and South East Asia. Airsoft is my biggest passion and I have been playing for more than
seven years now. Besides airsoft I love to do bodyweight training, rock climbing, free diving, traveling and video editing.
How it began
„What an innocent begining - but who
wasn‘t into toyguns as a child?„
I started playing airsoft in 2008 when I was fifteen, even though it wasn’t legal for me,
because I was too young. I was so fascinated by the function and performance of these
“toys” that I saved my whole pocket money for three months, just to buy one of these
crappy china sniper rifles. I didn’t even consider buying an AEG. I simply liked the fact
that these bolt action sniper rifles were only mechanic. Movies like Shooter, Enemy at
the Gates and Jarhead were certainly a big motivation too.
Development of Gameplay
„Really miss those days - I‘m still
seeing my old school friends for a
casual game„
The first airsoft match I played was with three friends in a forest we weren‘t allowed to
play in. I simply loved the thrill of not getting caught and hit, while sneaking in grass.
I also I loved the feeling of waiting for the perfect moment to pull the trigger. Long story short: I became addicted to the game. For more than four years I played every single weekend, spent more money on airsoft stuff than on anything else, created my own
airsoft association and organized games with more than 40 participants.
I tried almost every modification on my airsoft sniper rifle to get the best possible performance - my goal was to become the best airsoft sniper out there.
I‘m in the second row, the fourth from the
left. The one with the red beret.
My Time at the Austrian Military
I knew in order to fulfill my goal, I had to do way more! I joined the first Austrian Army Drill
Company which trains six sharpshooters out of 240 soldiers every year.

At the end of the first month 12 people had made it to the last stage. After marching a
whole night with 40 kg gear most of my comrades gave up. And well - I was among those six who were crazy enough not to stop.
After finishing my sniper education successfully, I left the Austrian Military to focus on other
aspects of my life. I became a technical engineer and worked abroad in South East Asia.
Starting my Youtube Career
„Let‘s take this shot. Thank you for
your support. You are the reason I‘m
still heading on“
One day I saw a video of the French airsoft sniper “Vavann” on Youtube and I was really fascinated by his idea of recording himself playing as an airsoft sniper. I knew I had to
do something similar. I immediately built a scopecam, bought an actioncam, created my
Youtube channel and uploaded my first footage.
Now what?
I’m going to quit my job starting in April 2015 to find out whether it’s possible to make
a living with several projects, including my Youtube channel and an online shop while
still thinking about returning to the military for a two years deployment.
„Cleaning my gear afterwards was
fun. ..“

Airsoft sniper vs Real Steel Sniper
.com/p
I thought that once I had completed a professional education as a sniper I would perform much better than I did before. I was using almost the same equipment and tried to
behave like I learned it in my trainings.
„My knowledge of how to urinate
silently while crouching was no longer
needed“
Surprisingly I had a very hard time getting back into the sport. My rifle just wasn’t shooting two kilometers anymore and small influences, like a little wind or accidentally shooting a blade of grass, were affecting my bullets trajectory.

I really don’t like all the beginner airsoft sniper guides I’ve read so far on the internet,
where they all tell you to behave like a real sniper: - Always use a ghilliesuit - stay prone and only move if necessary -bring binoculars - don’t leave tracks. For me all of this is
bullshit. You may look like a real sniper, but airsoft sniping is a completely different discipline to itself.
I say play active. Support your team at the front. Scare the shit out of your enemies with
your coming from nowhere precision shots.
Me and my gear at the Austrian Military
Rifle: SSG69
Range
With a real precision rifle you can shoot more than twice as far as most assault rifles.
In airsoft this simply isn’t the case. You are lucky if you own an airsoft sniper rifle which
can effectively shoot 30 % further than the AEGs on the field.
So the biggest difference between an airsoft sniper and a real sniper isn’t the overall smaller distance you can shoot. It’s the tiny difference in distance between the airsoft sniper
rifles and the automatic ones. As an airsoft sniper you need to rely on your camouflage
and fieldcraft skills, not on the bigger range of your rifle compared to the others.
Dynamics at the Battlefield
The airsoft battlefield is completely different too. People are moving much faster. Crawling in my heavy military ghilliesuit was way too slow for this type of game.
