Paintball Shotgun
Can a paintball shotgun be used as a sniper rifle?
This sounds like a dumb question, I know, but I would like to get a certain realistic feel from the gun. I just want to know if a paintball shotgun shoots the same way as a regular marker (range, accuracy ya know, the works). Also can you change the barrel to make it longer and more accurate? And the best brand?
The only type of factory built marker designed to look like a shotgun is the RAP68:

It functions the same as a single projectile pump action marker, so the performance would be the same as say the Tippmann 68, with the only real difference is it's styled to resemble a more realistic looking shotgun. Claimed maximum range is 300 feet, but workable accuracy is probably limited to about half that distance. No modifications such as longer barrels exist for this marker, it's main purpose is to be used by law enforcement for training purposes.
Can it be used as a sniper rifle? I suppose about as easily as any other pump marker out there, but there are better choices if maximum accuracy is your main objectives. Due to it's limited paintball magazine ( hopper) capacity, if your hoping to take it out to a paintball field you're going to be badly outgunned compared to most conventional markers.
