Also (pt2), if you can only see a bit of an arc of your bbs and then they're out of view, you need to adjust your scope and/or your hopup.

are you sure? because i tried it, and unless you got a real steel or some really hot upgrades, you will see it start to curve down after about 150 feet. hell, even for real steel you would have to compensate for bullet drop at long ranges.
as for the field of view... do you mean you really see better through a 20mm scope placed 10" away than through a 30mm rds 1-2" away? |
You had said your bbs were arcing out of view at the range you are shooting at. It that's the case your scope is way off. Now, that being said, your scope will not have the crosshairs on target for every range of target, that's why you zero it at an arbitrary range. You aim off to compensate for not only range but also wind (and in the case of real steel, mirage).
As to field of view, an rds is a different case than a normal scope. In the case of a 20mm vs a 30mm rds, the fov would be essentially the same, because in each case both eyes are open. To use a normal scope mounted in a normal position, you have one eye closed. Also, you generally want to mount reflex optics forward on your weapon (although maybe not so forward as to use a scout mount). No scope should be 1" from your eye (with real steel, you'd learn why in a hurry). The proper mounting distance is more like 3" from your eye. There should be a complete picture through the scope, with no 'scope shadow' around the edges.
