scopes

[sam]

Are scopes any good? I was curious since i am thinking about buying one.

In all honesty I think scopes are a waste of time, possibly more for looks that anything else.

I've used a fair number of scopes, including red dots and they're fairly pointless at range due to the curved trajectory of paintballs coming out of a barrel. And there aren't really many paintballs that shoot with pin-point accuracy that would make any kind of scope worthwhile.

Now for the world of First Strike Paintballs coming out of a Tiberius T9 I would say there's possibly some good reason there. People have been reporting paintballs breaking at 500 feet from the shooter and that's something like 2-3 times the distance of normal paintballs, with an extremely accurate trajectory.

There is a reason I say that, this is my gun:



The scope just looks bad ass

[birdman]

that gun looks like shit what the hell is that

[sam]

That is an A5 right? It does look seriously bad ass. Even if it doesn't really help anything. But that is almost exactly what i plan to make my A5 in too? What are the external upgrades to it?

Mine has been slightly modified, but yeah that's the model.

Your gun looks very confused, but if it works for you...more power to you..
