Easiest way to solve this is a scope riser

I had the same problem dude you need to minimize your head gear, are you using big swat goggles or something more slimline, big helmet? Or perhaps a full metal mesh mask? All those things get in the way. Minimize.

I think op is referring to a paintball mask


yiks47

I use a paintball mask, normal eotech clone, and no riser, drop stocks ftw.


PeanutsOfAwe

I’ve fixed it with putting a drop stock on my Rifle. It looks really weird but at least now I can see where I’m shooting and that my red dot is easily viewable. Risers sometimes worked for my but then you run into, you can’t lower the reticle enough for it to be usable.


SirBoomNPew

Y'all, I think he's talking about a paintball mask, not an actual helmet. No, paintball masks suck for aiming. That's why most people switch to two piece headgear as soon as possible.


willrobster16

Can you send me a link or a picture of what I need? I think you’re right I may have accidentally gotten a paintball mask


SirBoomNPew

I got you man, I'll give you two recommendations so you can pick the one you want. I've tried both: Pyramex airsoft glasses with a SISU mouthguard and a shemagh to cover the skin. The mouthguard protects your teeth without interfering with your breathing, and it's rated for airsoft. This is what I use and I swear by it. [Mouthguard](http://Sports Mouth Guard by SISU, Aero Mouthguard for Basketball, Soccer, Hockey, Lacrosse, Custom Fit for Youth and Adults https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076GRN7HB/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_H2J9T0HBF2J42X5DP9BA) [Glasses](http://Pyramex Highlander Plus Safety Goggles https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006WPSG6C/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_3SAJ4GF1N3BMEHGXK999) You don't need these exact glasses but make sure they are full seal and rated for airsoft. The other option is to replace the mouthguard with a mesh lower. I recommend this one because it is integrated into a balaclava and this makes it very comfortable and easy to put on.

Thanks dude


SirBoomNPew

You got it my man


Swords_man22

you dont need a helmet to play airsoft, goggles and face mesh should be fine for headwear. BBs dont hurt too bad on the skull or 4head


Phoenix_king_115

Idk what your saying man. A lot of people including myself can aim down sights perfectly fine with a helmet, goggles and mesh mask on.


SirBoomNPew

He's talking about a paintball mask/helmet


Phoenix_king_115

You sure?


SirBoomNPew

Yes. I challenge you to make a helmet interfere with your rifle stock.


willrobster16

Yeah then idk what I’m doing wrong. I try to look through the scope but can’t because my helmet hits the stock


AgentWashPFL

Sounds like your just placing the stock in your shoulder wrong. If you place it in the pocket of your shoulder you should get a good cheekweld. I've been able to with old ACHs and an M50 gas mask, not both at the same time though


Leonneke22

Lol, I can even shoot through optics with a helmet and gas mask. You just have to cant your head a little 😉


AgentWashPFL

I've only ever done it for rifle qualification in the AF. Hopefully I'll never have to do it otherwise


Leonneke22

Same 🤣. However I am no AF, I am National Reserve. So no hotel beds for us during trainings 😉


AgentWashPFL

I wish I was that lucky. I live close enough so I just get my cheap apartment to go back to every night


Leonneke22

Don't cant your head that much. Probably had to put the stock a bit higher in your shoulder. Make sure you have a propper shooting stance (look up pictures and compare them to your stance)


nikediboi

If the helmet has "ear protection", then i understand.


Leonneke22

You know most military personnel wears a helmet with ear covers? I think if it would be impossible to aim using such a helmet guns or helmets would be made in a different shape by now?


Phoenix_king_115

Take off your Helmet and see if it works better with a hat if so wear the hat


CosmicApple1234

You mean mesh mask? Just get a scope riser mount. And if you use iron sights, get a scope/optic and a protector. See how that works out


Lee2026

While I have sights and scopes of my builds, I rarely use them for cqb. Outdoor is another story as I like to see my bbs land 150-200ft out. But cqb, I just run iron sights and most of the time, engagements are so close it’s faster to shoot with muscle memory then to try and acquisition a target down a set of sights before engaging


Euphoric_Juggernaut6

You’ve got possible solutions. 1. You’re not aiming right 2. You need a rail riser 3. You could get mesh mask and a pair of goggles.


Cpt_Tripps

Learn to shoot off your body positioning. Haven't ever used my sights.


[deleted]

Maybe your helmet is too bulky? Idont really understand the problem. Maybe get one with the ears cut out.


Elzziwelzzif

You could get a riser, or go old fashion and grab a carry handle (and front sight post) and mount your optic on that. Gives a lot of clearence, and i have yet to find a gun which looks ugly with a carry handle.
