Default Snipping sheet metal

Hi,

I am very much a beginner to working with metal, and I was just
wondering what kind of maximum thicknesses of sheet metal (steels,
copper, aluminium) one would be expected to be able to cut using so
called aviator snips. At the moment I am fairly limited in budget and
equipment so I am wondering what is possible using hand tools.
Thanks.
