Because they jack up prices, have horrible customer service, and their handling time on packages sucks.

They purposefully prey on new players with marketing propaganda that is designed to make the player think that they cannot play paintball or be an "UBER 1337 SNIPER" without $500 worth of gear from them, and then they make claims taht all other gear is inferior to theirs.

They have single handedly tried to monopolize the Scenerio/Woddsball(TM) paintball market by attempting to either put smaller companies out of buisness or forcing them to sell their products through them. They also have tried to take over some major scenerio producers...

I could go on and on..

A scope of any type leads to tunnel vision, which in turn gets you eliminated when somone gets up on your flank without you knowing it.

If you insist on a sight, get a red dot. A red dot will not lead to as much tunnel vision as a scope will.

Oh and Carl,

That picture is NOT FUNNY. It is offcially OLD. If you post that thing again, I am going to contact a mod and get you a strike for spam.

No, you will never accuratly shoot beyond the range of effective return fire with a paintball marker. Therefore you will NEVER be able to make ANY type of sniper shot.

good choice not that i dont like scopes. i have a good scope and i dont regret it. trouble with scopes is that you have to spend at least $60 to get a decent scope. most red dots work the same
