Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Airsoft Scopes

1. Do scopes improve accuracy in airsoft?

Yes—scopes help with aiming, spotting and shot confirmation, especially at longer distances.

2. Can I use real rifle scopes on airsoft guns?

You can, but airsoft-specific scopes are lighter, more affordable, and often better suited for skirmish conditions.

3. Do I need a scope for CQB?

No scopes are better suited to outdoor or long-range play. Use a red dot or reflex sight for close quarters.

4. What mount do I need for my airsoft scope?

Most scopes use 20mm Picatinny/Weaver mounts—check your rail compatibility.

5. Are illuminated reticles worth it?

Yes—they improve visibility in dark, wooded or indoor areas, especially in low light conditions.

6. How do I zero my scope?

Use the windage and elevation dials and adjust based on where your BBs are landing—zero at your average engagement distance.

7. Can I use a scope and backup iron sights together?

Yes—with offset mounts or quick-detach scope rings, you can switch between optics and iron sights.

8. What’s the difference between FFP and SFP scopes?

  • FFP (First Focal Plane) = reticle scales with zoom.
  • SFP (Second Focal Plane) = reticle stays the same size—common in airsoft.

9. Do scopes come with lens covers?

Many do. Flip-up covers or rubber caps help protect lenses from BB hits.

10. Are airsoft scopes fog-resistant or waterproof?

Some are—check product specs for fog-proof or nitrogen-filled models for weather resistance.
