don't use a scope in paintball. the balls don't fly straight enough or far enough to be useful.

a 4x20 scope will also give you a horrid field of vision.

The only practical use of a scope in paintball is to observe farther down-field. The paintball will not fly far enough to need the magnification.

If you are going to use a scope, use it for scouting out a distant area. That's the only real practical use. Just bring your weapon up to bear, take a quick sweep with the scope, and then bring it back down. When engaging targets, just look down the barrel, not the scope.

You smashed that nail right on the head.

Really? What's the surprise? Is it cake? I love cake!! No, seriously though. Scopes on paintball guns are useless, with the exception of scouting areas ahead. A paintball is completely unpredictable, so a scope won't increase you're accuracy at all.
