Lasers
Should I use my laser sight for Forest games? Its not very acurate, its about an inch above where the ball will hit, but theres nothing I can do about it. Also, does anybody think that it would give me away if I'm trying to hide?

Laser sights don't work. Period. Paintballs are not accurate like bullets.
I highly doubt your laser sight is consistently an inch above where the ball would hit

Not to mention laser sights are dangerous if illuminated into the human eye. you can burn the retina with it and leave them with a permanant dark spot in thier vision. Besides, it looks gay as hell...

just line up the barrel to the "target" and shoot off a couple.

Another (minor compared to eye damage) problem is that they usually act as a reverse tracer if there is any fog or dust in the area. If you're dead set for a sight, go with a red dot scope. It'll look the same to the shooter as a laser but noone else can see it. I've been very happy with my $30, 30mm BSA.

Ok, here's what you do to avoid to possibly blinding someone and giving urself away.
1. Don't use laser
2.Find your enemy/target.
3.Take aim.
4.Shoot 3 Rounds
5. If you miss, shoot again.

Thats the best way to do it, three round bursts, if you miss adjust, and go on. Waaaay... to many coma's in that post. o.o

I think that sights for paintball guns are jokes. I've never used one myself, but seeing how accurate pb guns are, I doubt they're worth the money.

Today I went with it on my gun, but I never used it because
1. Cant see it.
2. Dont have time to aim
3. Just shoot in their direction and you'll probably hit them.

It really depends. In woods ball I prefer to have my first shot very accurate especially when I have surprise on my side. If I have time to aim a sight lets me accurately fire individual shots which are less likely to give away my position then walking a burst in. People are much less likely to duck single shots once they get past the noob stage which works to my adventage in making the first shot accurate. If I miss and we get into a firefight I don't bother with the sight but it's nice to have it for the fore mentioned reason.
