Having some type of scope on a marker is ok to have but, to have a laser on one is a big no-no, lasers can blind a person and its pointless to have one on a marker as well.

i think that a sight is just an overkill on a paintball gun, really no point, you wont have enough time to look through the scope, and shoots someone.

 

besides that its my 500th posts!

Hes using his marker fer some woodsball, a scope isnt really overkill, it jus depends on how many is actually playin in a game of woodsball, if theres more than 10 people on each team, then a scope would be useless.

Ok you have 500 posts....heres yer

To be honest, they are both pointless.

Invest in a good sight rail.  You can sight your target quickly and it works perfectly with paintball guns.

IF you need anything... get a red dot sight.

he is probably talking about a red dot sight. and that wont blind anyone.

at any rate sights arent any much good anyways. paintballs are to greatly affected by wind and things like that to be completely accurate from one shot to the next. the shots vary to greatly to be able to rely on a sight/scope.

well said, we are not dealing with 50 or 100yards here. So red dots,scopes,lasers all pointless, get a good site rail like was said.

red dot>scope

and the laser thing, if your playing a milsim or woodsball it is a good, fun thing to have. i highlydoubt your going to aim for the head most of the time, that is if your a person with half a brain.  the chest area is much larger, so just dont aim for eyes.  yes it gives off slight radiation, but i highly doubt it will blind you unless it is aimed at your eye at a close range for a long period of time.

^i doubt he would be using these in speedball, and if you play with your team right in speedball you can slow the game down to your speed.  you can control, you just have to make the right moves.

In all reality, even a Red Dot or any other aiming device (except yer own eyes) wont work in woodsball and in speedball, the intended target would have to stay still to even get a good shot or several shots....in woodsball and in speedball people are moving constantly, running to one place to another and you all know one of the rules to avoid gettin taken out from a game..."dont sit at one spot fer too long, keep moving"

Regardless on how fast you see the Red dot, by that time someone has already seen you and already taking shots at you.

Using yer own eyes is the best aiming device in paintball.

midnight and by that time it would be really usefull to
have a laser on
