Are Paintball Sniper Guns Accurate Enough To Use A Scope? The answer is a simple yes, and no. Without a good rifled barrel, even using a site is questionable. A lot of beginning players point and shoot. This can be somewhat effective at closer ranges, but not at any distance. If you have or pick up a good rifled sniper barrel, then your aim starts to get much more precise. With a decent sniper gun and rifled barrel, a scope does actually work. Imagine making a good clean shot at distances that would catch most players by surprise. The more powerful your gun and better your barrel, the more high powered of a scope you can use, and the farther off you can pick off your opponents. Groupings within 3 inches at 60 feet are possible and more than enough to hit your mark.

Masks and goggles can get in the way of course when trying to use a scope. There are some really good offset scopes and mounts available that help this problem considerably. An offset scope is just one that allows the scope to be off to the side of the gun, allowing you to aim without your mask getting in the way.

Some of the nicer guns also come with a red dot site for closer targets and quick aiming as well a scope for longer distances. You can even get a laser pointer, and see where your shot is going to hit. Of course without a good rifled sniper gun or barrel, where you aim and where it goes will be erratic. If you want to do any real sniping, you definitely need the right equipment. Sniper Barrels are relatively cheap and you can get one to replace the barrel on most existing guns. If you want to get a serious paintball sniper gun, there are some out there, like the T68 Extreme Sniper with 3-12×50 Scope Kit. This one even has magazine feed paintballs and a silencer.
