    No pie? Yeah I have to agree, no sight rail is the way to go. Once you get used to your marker you can easily sight down the barrel instead of using a rail or a scope or anything.

        The Sight Rail is very good looking on the e-mag/rtpro's. It breaks up that "Tube" look that everyone hates :)

        Besides, their either made of aluminum, or sheet metal and they don't add that much weight at all.

        sighting down them? WTH? I've NEVER used a sightrail for actually sighting :P Heck, I just point the thing and shoot, see where the shot lands, and go from there.

          I would like a rail, but I like the simple tube look. I can't seem to see through my feed tube

                No site rail unless you want an aesthetic thing ....

                Like on my mag I have a chrome/black thing going on .... so the black shark rail makes the blend on the body go very nicely ... otherwise it serves no purpose

                      The sight rail on a paintball marker serves no purpose other than asthetics. You just have to decide if you do/do not like the look. I for one, love the look of the rail on my Purple People Eater, but that's my opinion. When I get an emag I put a rail on it as well.

                        dude, drop and forget the sight rail, untill you go to sell your gun!

                        then only thing they do is break up the tube look and add weight....!!

                          I like my sight rail.... and only for looks.

                          I hefted my marker with and without the rail to see how much "weight" it adds... and all I have to say is that if it is an issue with anyone, they need to lift some weights. Seriously, the TANK was the thing that added noticeable weight, not the sight rail. In fact, I could not tell the difference with/without the rail with the tank on.

                          I always get a kick out of listening to rough and tough, manly, paintball players talking about shaving a few oz. off their equipment.

                              well the reason I knock off oz here and there is so when I superman into the 50 I can keep the gun out of the dirt...

                              drop 3 oz on the rail.. then drop 3oz here , then 3oz theree.. on things that are just for looks anyway, and before you know it.. your a pound lighter.... =]

                              just my thoughts ....
