Airsoft or Paintball
Paintball vs. Airsoft
Which is better, which is worse, and why. I like both equally.

Re: Paintball vs. Airsoft
Paintball is more fun to play, airsoft is easier to get your own to play at any time.
I prefer paintball.

Re: Paintball vs. Airsoft
Airsoft is fun, but my past experiences have revield two major flaws with it:
1.) It often comes down to the guy with the best gun (and good guns cost $$).
2.) Often times, people aren't phased by the shots. They just keep going.
I've had my gun at point blank to a guy's ear on fully automatic, but he wouldn't give up becuase he was determined (which is stupid)... and my gun only shot at 150 fps (I have a spring action as well with about 250 fps, but it has horrible accuracy and takes forever to reload).
Paintball is more expensive than airsoft and, again, some people are very stubborn. With both of these, it's near impossible to define and enforce rules.
If I had to choose a shooting game, I would go with lazertag. No contest.

Yeah lazer tag is much more fun than any of them. Airsoft has cool looking guns, and paintball.... well I can't say much about paintball, but lazer tagging is much more fun.

Re: Paintball vs. Airsoft
Never really played Paintball but I have had an airsoft battle with friends and that shit is awesome. So I can imagine how fun Paintball is to play.
Lazer-Tag is also FTW.

Tagging With Lasers gives me the chance to constantly say SW quotes!
"Stormtroopers take them out!"
"Roger Roger!"
"Rebel Scum!'

Re: Paintball vs. Airsoft
I was paintballin' at this place called SplatterPark. I think toaster was there. Well my team had to protect a flag, and this flag was this fat fuck. He thought he was all pro with epic equipment. Trying to protect this fuck we ran behind this airbag thing. He was messing with is gun and ended up shooting me pointblank at the back of my upper-arm.
Other than that, paintballing wins

Re: Paintball vs. Airsoft
Lazer tag beats both. You can't shrug off something that keeps you from shooting.
Re: Paintball vs. Airsoft
We play airsoft like this:
The legs and arms are incapacitation. For 15 seconds, you can call for a designated medic to come heal you. 2 shots to the chest is lethal, 5 second revival, headshots are instant death.

Re: Paintball vs. Airsoft
airsoft is more "realistic" then paintball... as you have actual magizines of ammo. the pellets are harder to see, and there is a HUGE variation of guns
I prefer it because of that... although you HAVE to play in a woods setting for it to be any fun... only annoying part are the morons who don't fess up to being hit...

Re: Paintball vs. Airsoft
I must say, while I enjoy airsoft, paintball, and nerf, the most exhilarating of them all, for me, was being a photographer during an outdoor paintball match. Something about having paintballs whizzing past me as I ducked behind a rock to get an action shot of a player taking paintballs to the face mask and being completely unarmed was really exciting.

Thats why you make the rule where players have to wear T-shirts or long sleeve shirts made of thin fabric. Dont forget to use really strong guns.
