What is the deal with blind guns...

[NoLifeLeft]

The other main benefit of eyes that I don't see here is the timing issue. With eyes, the gun can close the bolt as soon as a ball is seated. Without eyes the gun usually has a programmed delay before the next shot is allowed. For a prime example, go time an E-cocker that has no eyes. Its a balacing act between the gun being a blender with any hopper or a heavily capped rate of fire.

It's not that guns without eyes are crap. They can function perfectly in every other way.

But the bottomline is that eyes significantly decrease your chances of chopping. You don't have to worry about your hopper or batteries - the gun will not fire without balls in the chamber. Perhaps in recball or woodsball, eyes are not necessary. But in tournament paintball when you're constantly shooting not only paint, but streams of paint for extended periods of the game, you absolutely need anti-chop facilities, preferably eyes. Hoppers, like everything else, fail sometimes.

For me: without eyes, no thanks.

To put it simple: EYES ARE INSURANCE.

That's the best reply I have seen in the thread. It's better to have eyes and not need them than to need them and not have them.

Mary Poppins? I hit that hard. In 2001 in NYC, I knew her publicist. 100% the best.

If a blind person played paintball with a gun with eyes, would they still need a seeing-eye-dog?
