I take a mental note of the bb's trajectory and then compensate for it during the next trigger pull. I always have the intention of aiming properly with sights but usually end up taking red dots/acogs/magnifiers off of the gun because they tend to not be worth the extra weight.
For cqb I generally use a pistol. I seldom aim with it, I kind of extend my arm in the general direction of the target and magically my hands know what angle to hold the gun appropriately.
I guess it's kind of like being a hitter in baseball. You see the ball coming but it's mostly muscle memory that allows you to hit the ball.
The only exception where I find a red dot particularly effective is in a dark setting. Aiming at a target in the dark is much easier if your eyes don't have to adjust before firing.
Discussing this with my friends acquires the conclusion that I'm ridiculous and this is not proper for actually becoming a better player.

Quoted for the truth!
A lot of players in my area use a scope to aim, where as I take off all the accesories on my top rail, so I get a clean vision of where my shot is going.
Especially in CQB. I direct my follow up shots according to where my first shot went. A good plus is that the CQB facility I play at isn't that big, and I use white BB's.
