Because paintballs are not as accurate as bullets and tend to stray off course. Also, scopes are used at distances, when in paintball you're rather close to your target. However, reddots can be useful. |

Ok. It helps you, but the normal paintball player will not find much use for a scope.

Yes, maybe for playing in the bush.. But most people here play speedball and games where there is alot more movement. Red dot sights are better and don't give carpel tunnel. |

red dots still do just not as easily. i dont think scopes give bad tunnel vision but they do distract from your surroundings so u have to be carefull of where ur teammates are. and anyone who plays only speedball shouldnt be allowed to have opinions on scopes. |

First of all, what the hell does carpel tunnel have to do with scopes... If anything you'll get it from playing speedball. Secondly, MOST people do not prefer speedball. There have been studies on it, the majority of players enjoy the outdoors. As for on this site, speed players and scenario/woods players seem to be in equal numbers. |

Why is that? Most people that get seriously into paintball drift to speedball. |

Scopes should be only be regarded as cosmetic accessories in paintball.
I'm a deer hunter here in MN and you basically have to use scopes for deer hunting because most shots are at 75+ yards, low light, deer are on the run, and only one shot is all you can get off ( most times). I have an A-5 with a flatline and unless you can sight your scope to be consistent to within 1 foot at 150 feet a scope is pointless. I guess the only point to have a scope would be to survey the field for opposing players at large distances. |

Scopes are good because you might see something that you might not have
seen without it (ie. person in a ghille suit). |
