I play both woods and airball and my style is different for both. I like to snipe in the woods and lay down a load of fire on the field. However, I always fall back on speed in a bind.
Due to thier shape, paintballs are naturally inaccurate. Any projectile as large as a paintball needs to be connicle in shape, like a bullet and have a mild spin for stability. Round objects are accurate at short ranges but not at long ones. Spin also caused round projectiles to curve. These are the reasons why real guns fire bullets not balls.
Markers tend to have a range of 150 to 200 feet and much farther with a flatline. Most games usually take place within what could be considered short range (less than 50 feet), so marker accruacy shouldn't make too much of a difference.
If you're not intrested in the science lesson then remember that most markers don't come with sights for a reason.

hmmm ever think it might have something to d with vertical feed and top-cocking ???
Alot of low end markers with top cocking and a vertical feeds still come with sight rails. Why I don't know, but they do.
I do agree that accuracy is very important, but a paintball just doesn't provide the precision needed for hardcore sniping.
A paintball doesn't have the precision you need if the factors (barrel length, ball to bore size match, velocity, etc.)
You could have the most accurate set-up in the world and you would still have difficulty hitting the same exact spot twice from a reasonable sniping distance. I'm talking about a difficult shot like hitting a player from across the field when he's hiding behind a bunker and all you can see is his hopper. If you had a full hopper, homany time do you think you could make that shot if you only fired one at a time and aimed each time. You could put the marker in a vice and still only make that shot a handfull of times.
This is the reason why people fire in bursts, it increaces the chance of hitting your target for shots like this.
I like to snipe, I use high quality paint and I always check to see that I have the right insert in my gun. I also use a scope that is sighted in. I can tell you from experience that a paintball rerely hits the same spot twice. And yes I have tried the the thing with the gun vice.
