One problem with scopes also is that it's hard to bring your eye close to it with most paintball masks. You would need a large one ($$$) to be able to see a large sight picture. For that reason, and the previously mentioned PB lack of accuracy I wouldn't use one myself unless it's for spotting. (A spotting scope can be pretty handy to help tell if that's a foot or a rock sticking out behind cover in the distance). Probably your best bet would be a red dot sight. Many people might say that they are pointless, but in the woods they come in quite handy if you have the element of surprise. It helps you get the first couple shots as accurate as possible. Once the firefight starts though you probably won't have time to focus on it.

If you do decide to get one, don't buy a paintball one, they cost a premium that you can avoid by shopping at a certain large discount store. $30 will get you a 30mm one that is fairly quick to line up. Make sure that the sight works with your rail before purchasing it.

Another good thing about red dots are that you don't need to worry about the hopper blocking them since you can view it just as easily as an occluded eye scope (One eye on target, the other on the dot) and even keep the front cap on to prevent paint damage.

One problem with occluded sites is that you loose your depth perception, but beyond 30 or so feet the divergence between your eyes is reduced so much that your brain uses other clues anyways.

Regardless of what you use, don't let yourself get tunnel vision. Always keep an eye on your flanks and rear.
