So Im a big woodsball guy. But its the summer and I get off work around 5.have dinner around 6. and paintball around 7. it gets dark around 8. BIG problem. Thats a mere hour of paintball. I could go all night, but the thing is,, I cant see my iron sights. how can I fix this? im not looking to buy a red dot, or a scope, but maybe something to stick on my iron sites the make the tips glow in the dark, or something along those lines. Does such a thing exist? ------------- Custom Pro. All Stock. X7 Respons Trigger (X7) Coming Soon: XP5 Foregrip Commando Air-Thru Stock M-16 Carrier m-16 short cartridge. Looking to open a field. |

Or you could buy some night vision goggles. JK I'd go with the glow rails. I wonder though will that make you stand out alot? -------------

Ya i know its a nerdy reference, but its all I could think of. any ideas? ------------- Custom Pro. All Stock. X7 Respons Trigger (X7) Coming Soon: XP5 Foregrip Commando Air-Thru Stock M-16 Carrier m-16 short cartridge. Looking to open a field. |

Some Gun Shops will do custom Ti tritium sights. Its expensive though.

You use the sight? The stock pro barrel is actually pretty decent so just point the gun in the direction you want it to go and it should go that way. The sight usually isn't that great of reference to shoot off of a paintball gun anyways. |

If you mount a short tube on the front of the laser, no one sees the light except the guy being shot. Unlike the Hollywood version, lasers do not light a path through the air...unless you are playing in a dust storm or heavy fog. If you can see them well enough to use sights then pin pointing them with the laser is a piece of cake...and the intimidation factor is off the scale. The milliwatt output of these sighting lasers is well below the eye injury level...unless you stick the end of it in your eye. I have used these laser sights playing speed ball under the lights at night. They show up VERY well...particularly when someone is hiding on the shadow side of the bunker. When you sweep the shadow area even if you cannot tell you have lit up someone, they will hustle to get back behind the bunker...like I said, great intimidation factor. -------------

We'd use different color glow-in-the-dark wrist/arm bands for nighttime play so we can tell who the enemy is. If you can see one of the arm bands, you pretty much shoot at it. -------------

ah, thats all good and all. but when we play, we play so we can sneak, and that just kills the stealth involved ------------- Custom Pro. All Stock. X7 Respons Trigger (X7) Coming Soon: XP5 Foregrip Commando Air-Thru Stock M-16 Carrier m-16 short cartridge. Looking to open a field. |

just go to a shooting sports store and look for pictanny rail night sights they should just attact right to the rails and use what little light there is to make the pins glow.
its not too expensive but a cheap set is around $30. -------------

Only bad part is, you would need to shine light on it every once in a while -------------
