Laser sight mod is useless

[Pol Middickof]

Basically its shotgun range at best and is much worse than a cheap £/$ store laser pointer, why is this so?

[Serath]

It does say it increases accuracy but I don't know if I'm supposed to be looking at the laser or the crosshair still at that point.

What makes it worse is that painting your gun also paints the LASER, somehow, which makes it damn impossible to see anyway at night and you're using blue or black. I'd rather not color my gun to look like a toy, but since the dye is magic and increases the damage somehow, I have to.

Makes me think that the laser is probably within the same .bmp, .jpeg or whatever the textures of the gun is and the painting effect is just using a photoshopped version of that file with a tint change of the entire image, instead of individual parts.
