Laser Sight on X7

Is this it?  Centerpoint does make some good stuff for BB guns, I don't know much about their lasers though.  Personally, I would go with this one from UTG.  I have yet to be disappointed when buying from this brand.  I have a scope, red dot, iron sight, mounts, and a gun bag from them.

It does come with weaver/picatinny mounts even though it's not in the picture.  And from amazon, you'll get free shipping.

Leapers, UTG, Golden Image, and Accushot are all the same brand btw.

Not really, they aren't usually bright enough to be useful in daylight, many organized fields don't allow them for safety issues and the arcing trajectory of paintballs means that the laser is only usually "sighted-in" at one specific range.

I actually do find a good use for the laser sight.

Using the laser you can very quickly determine your setup for ball spread.  I would say at about 30 feet or so, after attaching the laser to the marker, point the marker with the laser on at a wall or board and then fire a round or two.

if the round does not hit right on the red dot, then aim the laser so that they come close.  Now the laser point and your gun is calibrated.

As you move further away from the target you will get a better idea of how your marker, barrel, and balls all combine to give you a spread.  Next, you make a mod, such as tweaking the air flow or a different barrel or different balls...whatever.  You then fire at the red dot again from the same previous distance and you can easily compare.

The nice thing about this technique is that it does not really rely on your own aiming accuracy.  It is always relative to where the red dot of the laser is (this is always the bulls eye).
