I was wondering what you think is better, paintball or airsoft. I play both and i would have to say paintball is just a little bit better. But airsoft is alot cheaper an all you need is plastic bbs and a battery, not expensive paint. plus you dont need a tank of compressed air or co2

Airsoft, for the sole reason that it is 100x cheaper than paintball.

I always had more fun with airsoft. It was very cheap, less painful, and can be played almost anywhere. I mean we played it in my friends basement, in our backyards, or in the woods. In paintball we always had to go to some woods and get all geared up.

I prefer real firearms to either but of the two I guess paintball because you have confirmation that you hit your target.

I've only paintballed once, and I've airsofted several times, and I would have to say I like airsoft better.

How is that relevant to this at all? Unless you host some pretty terrifying games...

:lol: I don't mean use real ones in the same way. I mean at ranges or skeet shooting, etc. Though it would make for one hell of a round if you used real guns in the woods.:shock:

Airsoft is cheaper, and not as messy, but doesn't have confirmed hits. Apparently it hurts less too, though adrenaline takes care of the pain for me. I'd go with airsoft unless you're playing with people who can't deal with the honour system. I know I've paintballed with people who were blatant, terrible cheaters. :x

Paintball really doesnt hurt that much. However, I'd say airsoft is less safe. The pellets can cut you and go through clothing. Paintball is just some blunt force.

I find that it is more fun to play with airsoft guns because they are cheap and you tend to be able to play with them longer because of them being cheaper.

As long as your a man and can take the pain, paintball is fun. if not, airsoft may be better for you. i like both, airsoft is fun becuase you can regulate it yourself in your own backyard, ang the guns look SWEET. But theres still something about paintball that i cant get enough of.

And for those who dont like airsoft becuase its hard to tell a hit, that why you play surrendur. (where if you hit a person so much he cant take the pain and surrenders. 8)

Airsoft. Far more economically realistic, and the realism in weapons is cool.

Or don't wear any clothes. NONE. Then you can see all of the bruises when people aim at your junk

But it's better to play paintball surrender. Only the strong survive. None of that armor nonsense. Sweatpants and sleeveless. Makes for a VERY quick game. You also don't want to play many of them, so I think both paintball and airsoft even out in surrender, cost wise.
