ummmm..... thats rather pointless, but we might as well start a conversation in this space, so here goes. Does anyone here paintball? I am getting into it, though it will always be second to airsoft. Any other opinions?

BBBOOOO TO PAINTBALL I SAY NAY TO THOW WHO PLAY PAINTBALL

In my opinion, paintball is a sport, airsoft is a simulation. My natural choice would be airsoft because I like realism, but on days where my local field is only doing paintball, I might head over and play a few games.

A few of my friends used to do paintball then they switched to airsoft. Its fun just very expansive and like you said not very realistic.

yeah... Although I am only going to get a cheap semi auto marker and use it for fun...

Like he said paintball is a sport and I have a few friends that play both airsoft and paintball. I ask them what they like better and they say there about the same.

Yeah paintball was great/ is great but just too much money $60 for a case of paint near me cause the field won't let us use anything besides theirs

I agree. Paintball and Airsoft are not comparable at all. Airsoft is a military simulation and paintball is a sport. Paintball is way too expensive for me.

Airsoft:
-Realistic acting guns, if your willing to spend money in the $200 + regions
-Is compatible with Mil-Sim events
-light weight
-inexpensive (when it comes to ammo...now making your gun teh best...hehe)
-growing market op.s (with advantages/disadvantages)

Paintball
-Non-realistic, except mil-sim paintball reserved for the wealthy
-requires protective wear at regulated fields
-very hard to cheat
-MARKETING (with advantages and disadvantages)
-IN PAINTBALL: it is very hard to start out, but once your team is worthy of sponsorship you are set for the rest of your career as long as you take it seriously.

I personally don't like paintball because of its Non-realism. Airsoft is way better hands down! Thing is though (and this could be a good or bad thing) its pretty easy to cheat. But its cheaper then paintball that is for sure.

I'll throw one thing out to paintball the outs system is completely perfect, in airsoft people argue to much about hits, makes me very upset

Paintball is fun, but it cost way more money and it isn't as realistic. I think airsoft is better

Agreed

well, I just got a semi auto marker and everything I need (hopper, tank, mask, pods,etc) for $100. we will see how that turns out.

I just sold my full auto response marker for $200!

full auto and response are two different things. Does your marker have both?

Yes it did
