The non recoil HPA guns can be stupid quiet, just as quiet as BAs, if you drop the right suppressor on them. At one private game, I engaged an enemy patrol at night from some bushes at the side of a path from about 8 or 9 feet away and they were unable to locate me. I was running an M16A4 on semi automatic, choosing my shots nicely and calmly, it wasn't rapid fire or automatic bursts.
Range is easily worth the hose as well
That said, a tuned AEG will beat bolt actions in most cases, with a higher rate of fire, same range, higher ammo capacity and the ability to go on automatic. With none of the size drawbacks.
