when i look at it the way you said it, i guess airsoft makes sense, but ive really only invested in paintball, i guess i just like it more, and it can be pretty economical if you know the secrets

I would have to say paintball... i use to be super into it but i haven't played for like 6 years. I miss it a lot, but I straight up ran out of money. So if you have a decent amount of money and have already invested in it then play paintball.

If you are gunna play in the woods, ehh its 50/50. But get into the tournament paintball scene. It is extremely athletic, fast paced, and its a blast. Man up and play paintball.

bypaintball for sure, airsoft gets boring after 2 weeks, and you can do some drive by's on people and their houses/ cars that you don't like and paintball is fun as hell playing

Paintball hands down. If you know where to buy your stuff, and a good field it's not that expensive. I mean I play with my school's club, and just by joining something like a team that's got connections I've saved a ton of money. Like this weekend I'm playing down at West Point's spring game and our entire team got our registration waived and we get a discount on paint too. Also, most fields have free air/CO2 if you pay to play there so gas isn't that expensive if you think about it.

Also somewhat of a claim, I just got a legit sponsorship for my speedball team.

Paintball. hands down.

More of a community, more fun, more athletic, and the people who play airsoft are usually weird, creepy war junkies. At least in paintball you'll get some people you relate to, and can have fun with.

Paintball is 1000x better than airsoft. Airsoft is super lame unless you have super nice guns, paintball is fun no matter what.

side comment but I ran out of funds for paintball so I'm selling my stuff. A gun, 2 barrels, hopper, co2, cleaning thing, and plug for 40 shipped. I looked up reviews for my gun and they were all positive but they say a better barrel is a good idea. LINK: https://www.newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/524939/

Darth Vader?

Paintball is cooler, bigger fields, cooler guns, more intense, hurts more, more popular, etc.

Airsoft is so much fucking cheaper though. Airsoft is really cool if you can find a legit field, in LA there are a couple indoor places where they do rad CQB games and everyone takes it like super seriously and they all have full swat gear getups and shit. There are also some outdoor fields where they allow like 650FPS on sniper rifles or something but they have to switch to a sidearm if within 100 feet of you.

Actually I currently have an airsoft gun in pieces because i took it apart to put a weaker spring in (was shooting at 400fps, most local fields have a 350fps limit), and then couldn't figure out how to get it back together. I need to work on that. Im working on rebuilding my autococker right now though because my old favorite PB field reopened after being closed for like 4 or 5 years.

airsoft is for pussys, sorry.

it was a lot of fun in middle school when we all played with our guns we bought for $40 at Big 5, but not so much anymore.

pick up a nice tippmann A5 (http://www.amazon.com/Tippmann-A-5-Basic-Paintball-gun/dp/B0009FUB3C) and go pwn some n00bs.
i don't play anymore, but when i did i had so much fun.
plus i had the most badass gun out of all my friends.

Wait, I don't get how you 'play' airsoft. Paintball you can clearly see that you've been shot. How do you lose in airsoft?

There's a saying I like, "Paintballers can't play airsoft"

People that play airsoft just use the honor system, but at least where I play, everyone is pretty up on it. I've seen people call others on their own team out for example when they get shot and don't leave the field. Its actually funny because I see more people "wipe" in paintball than I see getting shot in airsoft and not calling themselves out.

I would have to say paintball, Airsoft is fun but it tends to get boring, especially because its much less popular.

Its not that much more expensive either, before i got sponsored i made friends with my local field owner and agreed to ref half the day for a case of paint and free admission/air. Worked out pretty well for me, and got me a spot on

and now i hardly pay for anything

But you do have to make a significant initial investment. id suggest checking out pbnation.com for used guns and gear.

last summer i was into paintball HUGE. i fucking slayed to be honest (/claim). i played on both a woodsball and a speedball team and had a course 5 minutes away from my house. i was a front man/ attacker in both woodsball and speedball, and i had a blast..but it was just too damn expensive, specifically buying tourney quality paint. i was forced to choose between skiing and paintball and obviously i choose skiing. but god i miss paintball.

go paintball, dont be a candyass
