Scopes? Damage?
3 July, 2009, 17:47
Just recieved a scope, even though the rings dont even fit it i'll get it sorted! but what my main concern is that if someone where to shoot the front lense, wouldent it break? sorry if its a noob question!

Re: Scopes? Damage?

Rare unless you do CQB, I got my reflex red dot shattered the first time i used it

Depends, a long burst of auto can hit a lot of places on a person and a weapon. People have had teeth and reflex sights shot up, can't see how a scope can be any less likely to get hit.

CQB kill optics pretty quickly.
You can get a perspex sheet and cut it to fit in front of your lens. There was a little per-made RIS version of something like that you could flip up and down but I can't remember where I seen it. Looked pretty nifty.

Re: Scopes? Damage?
If you are worried about your weapon sight in CQB going bust, you can get ones with polycarbonate lenses like the hurricane eotech that is made to be blasted at in moderation of course.
Sniper wise you shouldnt be right up close for your scope to be shot at anyway

Re: Scopes? Damage?
If someone can damage your sniper scope they're (or you) are too close! (or if its over distance, a cracking shot!)
I have seen an eotech have a chunk of the clear plastic bit blown out though, and this was from a fair distance away. Just another risk of airsoft at the end of the day.

Re: Scopes? Damage?
if a bb can shatter the glass of a sniper scope then.. well it must be pretty high FPS
reflex sights perhaps but scope glass is rather thick

Re: Scopes? Damage?
If you're worried that much then why bother using a scope? Let's face it, in airsoft you'll be firing at people at range up to a maximum of 100 metREs and if you need a scope for targets that close then I'd suggest spending money on an eye test rather than a scope. If you are adamant that you 'need' to use a scope then you should balance up the chances of it being hit, being hit and cracked and not hit at all. Why not draw a circle on your jacket of the same circumference and see if that circle gets hit. It's highly unlikely.

Re: Scopes? Damage?
I've played lots of CQB games and I've never once had a red dot lens shot out altho I have seen it happen to other.
I have however had the glass of a Surefire G2 shot out and the glass on a H3 Navigator watch.

Think you've got a bit the wrong idea mate, hes not worried about it cracking anymore than im worried about someone shooting out my red dot or teeth- its not common but a problem you want to keep in mind. That said, although ive heard of people loosing teeth and red dot sights, ive never actually heard of someone getting a rifle scope cracked- but that doesnt mean it wont happen!
