    how have u never heard of airsoft..........maybe u should get out more since more people actually airsoft then paintball now and paintballer are switching to airsoft but rather than that...........go to airsplat.com and c what an airsoft gun looks like.

    So they're basically bb guns?

    Meh, I prefer the idea of paintball because...y'know, you're shooting each other with PAINT. You can't improve on already perfect awesomeness.

    Actually there not bb guns cause last i checked a riderider bb gun did not look like a mp5 or m14 or even close to a m4. so no not bb guns. and actually there are bbs for airsoft guns that are paint bbs.
     
    I have to say, I think both are manic, unruly, and just plain stupid.

    Whats wrong with a bunch of friends running around with weapons that hurt like crazy and shooting each other with them for fun......I see no problem here.

    People can have different opinions you know.
     
    I prefer Airsoft because you can do it anywhere (almost) and it doesn't hurt or cost nearly as much as paintball. I've gone entire days playing softair with some of my guy friends and we all have a blast. XD Better than paying huge amounts of money to get paint all over your shoes and possibly through the overcoat, onto your clothes amirite?
     
    You just said "ride rider" isn't it Red Ryder?

    And I would say paintball. If there's no pain, there's no gain. I don't have a gun yet, but I am definantly planning to get one. Plus I like being able to actually tell if you hit someone.

    But I do like airsoft too, since you can actually do it anywhere. I might get one of those too. >.>
     
    Having played both, my vote goes to airsoft.

    Less messy, less expensive (lol $1000 Angels), and much more realistic.

    Maniac? And yes, people can have different opinions, but it is generally a person looking for conflict who insults another's hobby (with no explantive basis I might add).

    They are both fun. Both have their pro's and cons. I had an AEG 6 years ago, when the sport was still in it's infancy in this region:X Paintball is fun for a redneck free for all, airsoft is great for milsim. Ahhh. I love them both:D
     
    I probebly wont stick around for the rest of this thread, but i like both alot, but paintball has taken up more of my interest than airsoft =/
    I have both airsoft and paintball guns, and i find that the games played in woodsball are much more epic rather than airsoft games.
     
    Airsoft much more. Honestly, its easier to grab a pick up game with very little callateral damage to worry about. Although its a bit more dangerous, especialy with gas-powered weapons.

    Me, I have a Metal Gear Thompson Sub Machinegun with a drum clip and a CO2 M4 plastic replica sidearm.

    Actually paintballs hurt a lot more than airsoft guns. I used to work at a sporting goods store that sold airsoft guns, and we played around wit hthem when business was slow. XD

    It's been forever since I've been paintballing, but I distinctly remember how much it stung to be shot. >_<

    I agree too a point. Honestly, Ive been shot by both......a lot. Paintballs feel more like a lasting mini punch and Airsoft feels more like a short bug bite. Depends on your tollerance.

    But, Id much rather take 20 shots from a m16 airsoft rather than 5 from a Tippman x22
     
    I Would go with paintball , I dont really have a explanation for this .

    When i get hurt or a lil thats when i go on fire ( GAMES ) Only .
