I'd like to see where my BBs go!

[Jimski]

Hello all !

Some of us montrealers play in an arena where the light is really bad, yellowish and gloomy, and of course too weak for a hangar this size so I generally have trouble seeing where I shoot.

I was wondering: would a scope with a light magnification help me see my BBs reach their target ?

In this case I would be looking for a scope that's (much) wider than the Tasco red dot, and of course magnifies.
do you guys have any idea what scope I should get?

OR should I instead get a rail mounted light that would flash the BBs (and give my position away) ?

Thanks !!

Long days and pleasant nights.

You could get tracer mag or silencer. The bb's are a little expensive, but they look really cool.

No thanks, I know the tracer is an awesome thing -
but I'm looking for a solution with regular BBs and adaptable to any kind of light...

[swatt13]

get a tm tracer unit.

don't your bbs go where you aim them?

or do you use the continuous stream.. sweep method?

[amano999]

I love that method.....

Not with a V2, thank you.

Well I actually very much use this method and it's really BB expensive

put a tactical light on then its real easy to see where they're going and it completely obscures your silhouette, so they'll know your there but they wont know if your in the open or just a gun sticking out the side of a wall

Okk thxx

Haha, I was just thinking about this.

I have a 4x32 on my gun right now. When I first put it on, I immediately noticed that it was MUCH easier to track my BBs at longer range than with a RDS, and the black cross hair was less likely to obscure the BBs at long range than a lit dot. However, I eventually stumbled on another problem. When aiming at the gun's maximum 'flat arc' range (just before the shots start dropping, and particularly when aiming at sky lit targets), looking through the scope caused a sufficient loss in depth perception that I had trouble telling if my shots were falling just short, or if I was over compensating and arcing my shots beyond the target. This never happened with an RDS, where both eyes are viewing at the same magnification.

I'm not sure if there's anything I'm doing wrong or any eye training I can do to avoid this, but a lower magnification scope seems like it would offer a fair compromise.

Get a low powered/large objective scope for your gun, such as a 4x40mm scope. It'll help you track your BBs easily, and the lense is large enough to let more light in than smaller scopes.

Case in point, when ever I use my sniper rifles (both 3-9x40), I'm always at 3-5x in order to track the BB path. Lower zoom and you lose them after a certain distance, higher zoom and you can't even see where the path starts in order to watch them.

You'd have to play where he's talking about, it's an indoor paitball field. The light level is quite low.

You could try a scope Jimski, however I think it won't really help, as I have played there with my 3~9x42 scope set on 3 and depending if your BB passed directly under one of the lights you might catch a split second glimps. In my opinion the only thing that will really help you in a tracer unit.

But above and beyond everything else, you need to sight in your gun properly, therefore even in no light situations you know your BB's are going where you put them, especially indoors without wind to effect your BB's path.
