I played at once at night with some friends. Even though we covered ourselves in lights, we still couldnt see where the heck our BBs were going. You really can\'t aim at all if you can\'t see them. My take on it is: If your going to use it often, and you want to take the hit in the wallet (and litterally in some cases) then go for it. You can always remove it, and sell it if you need to.
