well...airsoft is ALOT cheaper than paintballing...but paintballing is more fun because you can see where you hit and it actually hurts when you get hit - even with soft armour on.

Same here, plus a crappy airsoft G36C.  Thing doesn't even shoot through paper.

Have you heard of a similar game called Laser Skirmish?  we use guns that shoot lasers and hit sensers attached to your body.  I use a ghillie suit of it great fun.

paintballing DOES hurt. i had a low CO2 tank that barley fired the paintballs out so i shot my friend from about 5 feet away. it didnt hurt him at all, but he started freaking out and my two other friends actually thought i shot him, so they started shooting their paintball guns at me point blank and i took off running like a mad man. luckily they only had 20 bullets in the hopper and they ceased fire to let me explain. damn that hurt.

Airsoft - A lot more tactics is involved than paintball. It's not simply you must get in a position to shoot another guy, not to mention that you have tubberware on top of your gun... And way to many cheaters...

Airsoft - Usually real military strategy, a lot more thought is involved, and people use cover and other things effectively as in a real war. Airsoft does not apply to the people who just want to go out and shoot people easily without tactics at all...

Not to mention all the idiots who buy cheap guns and say the shots don't hurt. I advise you guys to go airsoft at a field where the fps limits are a tad higher... Like 400fps with .2's.

When you have BB's stuck in your skin, it tends to travel a lot faster.

--- Buy good guns. Cheap one's are worthless...

Paintbal is WAY to expensive. $1000 for a gun... $80 for a hopper. $50 for a rig.
$80 for paint + admission

Disagree. VERY few tactics or "GUNG-HO" involved. No need to form squads, communication, hand signals and various other tactics most airsoft teams use. How do you Gung-ho with a paintball marker? It doesn't look like a real gun, nor does it reload with a real gun. Nothing beats the feeling of changing out mags under fire, or wearing that sniper suit for hours for that perfect shot. Or hiding in the bushes for the VIP to pass.  Not to mention that airsoft attract better people because airsoft relies on integrity,
Thanks I'll do mine mil-sim.

Except the feeling of shooting some punk peeping out from cover in the face and watching him scramble about, dazed from the hit and blind from the paint.

Paintball people use cover.  Thats what the damn inflatables are for.  And in scenarios like in wooded places, you can use trees and wooden structures or anything else that can be built to be put up. Paintball has all the same strategies as airsoft in a way..

lmao jack you said 1000 dollars for a paintball gun?   You can buy a 90 dollar gun, take it to places, and still have fun with the other players

They are equal, with airsoft, you can have very realistic firefights and generally better tactics.  Most of the GOOD guns can be fitted with real scopes, flashhiders and extra pieces.  Yet paintball is more popular and there is a much bigger risk to getting shot (unless there are high FPS guns, i can tell you it hurts like hell to get shot by a .3 sniper BB in the cheek from 10 yards at 500 FPS!)  It is also easier to pick up because you can rent guns from places to see if you like it.

BTW, the guy who shot me got banned from the place after he shot me.  The max BB size was .25 and FPS was at 450.  I dont know why they didnt know what the specs of his gun were.
