They have barrels that can spin the paint some so you can get more distance(with the added effect that if you twist your PBgun sideways you can shoot around corners to some extent).
I assume you are aware of fiber-optic scopes that actually allow soldiers to see around corners.
IIRC during WW2 the Germans developed a periscope-like attachment for rifles to do the same thing but it proved too unwieldly for field use.

When I say "we" I mean that when I go I show up with a pile of buds and we do private matches(it would be fun to go on a big day though and play against the masses). We usually go through like 50-100rnds a person per match. CTF takes a lot of paint due to cover fire :{]

The other day, I chanced to drop in at the midday games, expecting sport and wit and some relaxation to rest men's eyes from the sight of human blood. Just the opposite was the case. Any fighting before that was as nothing; all trifles were now put aside - it was plain butchery.
The men had nothing with which to protect themselves, for their whole bodies were open to the thrust, and every thrust told. The common people prefer this to matches on level terms or request performances. Of course they do. The blade is not parried by helmet or shield, and what use is skill or defense? All these merely postpone death.
In the morning men are thrown to bears or lions, at midday to those who were previously watching them. The crowd cries for the killers to be paired with those who will kill them, and reserves the victor for yet another death. This is the only release the gladiators have. The whole business needs fire and steel to urge men on to fight. There was no escape for them. The slayer was kept fighting until he could be slain.
There's gotta be a way to do that with paintball.
