Question

Poll-paintball or airsoft and why??

Answer 1

I've played paintball before, and converted.

Airsoft guns are cleaner, cheaper, and more adrenaline-pumping than paintball. A good/mid-quality gun is around $100.

They shoot plastic pellets(CHEAPER THAN PAINTBALLS)

Here's a good place to buy airsoft.

Paintball is less realistic at gun-specs-ammo, upgrades, the look AND feel of a gun, and doesn't have that extra Adrenaline kick at getting sprayed by a friend or enemy.

I know they have "realistic guns" but no upgrades like and M16.

It is messy.

It is costly.

It is un-realistic.

It smells bad(gas).

It sucks.

Oh yeah, Airsoft hurts at 400+fps, and getting hit by a paintball doesn't mean you're a pro that is more of a sport.

Airsoft is hardcore, and play anywhere.

Answer 2

paintball if u can take the pain, i play both, paintball is kick@$$, airsoft is boring as heyll once uve played paintball, but it hurts when u get hit. paintball is more expensive however. if u play paintball make sure to where thick cloths, a mask, a neck guard, jeans, and gloves, but like i said, its expensive, but worth it so much!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

paint ball, hurts more and you can see where you hit, also its generally 1 hit and your out in tournament play where as in airsoft its different.

Answer 4

Paintball.  

Its more competitive and there is a pro league for it.  

air soft is fun to mess around with but paintball is the sport with the most to offer.

Answer 5

I personally play paintball.

Its all a matter of opinion on which is better.  I hate it when other try and force their sport on others because they think theirs is better for __________ and _________ reasons.

Paintball provides the most realism for me and the sting of the paintball makes you not want to go all Rambo.  Also, no one plays airsoft over here so its paintball or nothing.

Answer 6

Paintball-pros

Pain

Tournament style play

Many ways to play

Leaves welts

Places you play are insane

It alot of sports combined

   CONS

Cost

Travel distance

Airsoft-pros

You can play anywhere

Cheep

  CONS

Guns break a lot...Plastic

Usa has a g*y fps limit lol

They are a pain to keep, alot alot of pieces

Pelts dont hurt with right equipment.

Overall i play paintball more, it is expensive i will admit that but its only about 1 half of my pay check and i'm 15. Airsoft is just like... i never know when im hit the auto guns break and jam. My paintball gun, is solid, i doesn't break and it's good although my awful backup is bad Paintball just gets the blood pumpin' more and it's actually a pro sport.

Answer 7

Airsoft. I like iron sights and magazines. I hate hoppers and no sights.
