True, tunnel vision does allow you to spot snipers better, but for paintball, what you actually need is to open up your peripheral. Instead of moving your eyes back and forth across what's front of you, you should try to lessen their focus and try to take in your entire surroundings. People underestimate the power of the human eye and you can use this in paintball to your advantage. The best way to silence the sound of the sniper paintball gun would be to port it or add holes to the first 8-10 inches of the barrel. Doing this would silence your rifle but it would also make the sniper paintball gun to consume more gas. The last quality you should look for is accuracy. Usually, snipers do not have the chance to get off two shots. An essential paintball accessory would be an Allen wrench. Allen wrenches are what most manufacturers include with paintball guns in order to enable the owner to make quick repairs. Another essential paintball accessory is the squeegee. When your paintball gun gets dirty, there's a big chance that it will malfunction. Anything shiny is out. You should also make sure that the paintball marker you buy does not make a lot of noise when you are shooting. The distinctive sound of the paintball marker is caused by the gas compressing in the barrel. Some people attempt to reduce this sound by "porting" or making holes in the barrel. It is also specially if you arte playing the role of a sniper, using a ported paintball rifle as your weapon. Since ported markers are usually gas hogs, you need to make sure that you have enough for your needs. 3) Batteries If you are using paintball markers with electronic triggers, or if you are simply playing with night-vision equipment, it is important to make sure that you will be able to power the equipment you have. If you know yourself that you are already capable of fighting for the next level, then the better. Yet if you think that you are not yet prepared, then, better settle for the level which would suit your paintball experience. Going forward to a level which is not suited to you would only be opening the door to your getting into an untoward incident.
