Sniper sidearm of choice

Hi everybody!

Recently I bought a TM VSR-10 and sold my loved M16, so now I am wondering what to buy as a sidearm (my VSR-10 shoots 410 fps so I don't want to engage at close range, and it is bolt action so it's not quite the best in CQB).

I've done my research, handled several guns but I have yet to make a choice, so if you guys and gals could give me a heads up on some pros and cons I could have forgot to consider, I'd be very thankful! Also, comments from experienced snipers and airsofters in general are welcome!

Gas blowback

Pros:
-Blowback
-Small size
-Comes in full auto (G18)
-Good power when run on propane

Cons:
-gas is more trouble than electric
-Inaccurate (at least the ones I tried)
-some parts prone to breaking

Spring shotgun

Pros:
-3 BBs/shot
-No battery or gas to care about
-not too costly (no battery, charger, propane adaptor to buy)

Cons:
-not upgradable
-not full auto

Small AEG (mp5k)

Pros:
-Full auto goodness
-Electric

Cons:
-quite expensive

Thanks a lot for your time!
