 How about a telescoping sight for the A-5 with crosshairs in the middle,
so snipers have a bit more of an aiming improvement?

There are no snipers in paintball. There are planty of telescoping sights that can fit on the A-5 that have crosshairs. Paintballs dont shoot straight for a very long period of time, so using a telescoping sight would be pointless.

That is correct. However I would like to see a sight that instead of
crossairs, it has a circle that represents the patern. The farther you
zoom in, the bigger the circle gets. and visa versa.

No paintball snipers. Anyway, this is kind of a dumb idea. Read rules and search before posting. Welcome to the forums anyway.

yeah.. not for a long period of time.. but with my 16 ounce co2 the first 1/4 of it i use, i can use my sight perfectly and it hits the mark %90... still have that crazy ball every once in a while.
and if you want to get real technical about it, snipers can exists in paintball. sniper = anyone shooting from a concealed posistion. and there are plenty of concealed positions in the woods around here.

Yeah, after almost 3 years in the woods, some noob who calls himself a sniper is obviously going to be better at stealth than me.

Ok, I've seen some great shots with a pistol from further than most people can normaly shoot accurately with one, but that in no way makes my friend a pistol sniper. Marksmen are one thing, snipers are another. Don't confuse the two. Someone should make a sniper sticky. I nominate YWSM.
