Application is everything.thermal is good if you dont want to id the target. The big siniper scope i used was a monster but it was thermal. it sucked to lug the thing around for a night shot. Basicly it was a modified Tank Sight.
The first gen scopes are good and can be modified to fit any camera. I had one with a pentax K mount that was great. Im a bit out of the loop when i comes to the second and third gen stuff.
when i left the army in 90 we had the PVS-7. They were second gen but i could see know way to get a camera mounted.
Get a 1st gen scope and get it mounted to the camera you want to use. Next get an infrared flood light. this will light up a big area. make sure that the light is BEHIND the scope/camera rig. It will be like daylight through the camera. You may even have to turn down the light a bit.
as for what to do to the guy, ponder this.
Most glass marbles are about .67" in diameter.
Here is a fun fact. Paintball guns are 68 caliber.
