It is physically impossible to be a sniper in paintball. So I don't know where you would get this magical sniper setup at.

You don't want a scope on a paintball marker. It is a waist of money and time. Get a red dot, a good field of view and quick target aquisition. Listen to Snake, no sniping in paintball, don't ask why, you will rattle one to many cages.

The reason you can't snipe in paintball is because the range is basically the same on all markers. Some barrels like a flatline will add distance, but paintballs and markers arn't really that accurate. Thats why everyone says to avoid scopes, they also give you tunnel vision. But there are "sniper" barrels on the market they are usually 20". Howevey they make you use more gas/air/c02 etc, and you need to set your marker to a higher velocity to get your balls, paintballs that is to exit your barrel. You can get a shroud to make your marker look like a sniper rifle.

There are, in fact, no snipers in paintball.  However, I'm not one to totally negate the scope.  I don't think it's useful for hitting a target, but CAN be useful for checking the ground ahead of you.  Of course, a decent set of field glasses could do the same...

As far as your cosmetic upgrades go, that's a completely personal choice.  I've almost always preferred the milsim look, but I'm an old guy who still like to play war.  So, knock yourself out.  One thing I always did was try to make mine unique.  If you buy the "off the shelf" cosmetic upgrades, you'll have a gun that looks like every other gun out there.  Take some time, put some work in to it.  Make it yours...

i ment red dot not scope sorry. i have found all the parts in black but im looking for them in digi camo to match my gun. I know there is no such thing as a sniper in paintball but i think it would be cool to get on to look like it.

Yeah, you're not going to find any parts in the same digital camo as your gun... unless maybe BT makes digital camo addons...

I'd take a marker-mounted scope over binoculars.  Fumbling to get them up to your eyes (if thats even possible with the mask on) requires extra movement which can give your position away in the woods.
