if you believe it is in the way, which i dont think it is, get an
offset rail. if you want an aiming device besides your
sights, get a redot sight.

Trust us on this one, you DON'T want a scope, it's very pointless, you will regret wasting your money once you go out on the field and find out your gun doesn't shoot with 100% accuracy...just get a red dot sight, some cheap but effective ones can be found here http://www.countypaintball.com/product_overview.asp?from=products&category=6&subcategory=0 - http://www.countypaintball.com/product_overview.asp?from=pro ducts&category=6&subcategory=0 and maybe even put it on a sight rail...

A 30mm Red Dot works great on an A-5. -------------  |

Don't use a scope a paint ball gun isnt accurate enough for a scope, plus the paint ball drops about a hundred times faster than a bullet which is what a scope is made for. ------------- TNTsnk

Scopes give you tunnel vision also. Somebody could be sneaking around your right side and you wouln't even see him. ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |
