What brand is it, and where are you from? Just curious in case I see someone asking around for it
And paintball is better for those who like that type of action. Fast, some strategy, but the strategy variations are limited, if you like paying boatloads of money just to play, then it's more for you.
Airsoft is very realistic, MUCH more versatile, and you can play in more realistic, uncleared areas, such as woods, and still have the ability to shoot through brushy and wooded areas, whereas paintballs would have been lacerated into a million pieces by that time.
It's all about who you are I guess, I'm a person who has a respect and a desire for knowledge about those who are, and have fought in wars for us in the past. And although this is nothing close, the mil sim aspect of it is really awesome.
One huge plus is airsoft is SO Cheap compared to paintball. 5000 rounds of quality airsoft ammo, .20g weight, will run about 10 bucks. How much would 5000 paintballs cost? Then there is the pain of having to get gas refills, and decent markers are also crazy expensive.
Which brings up another point, those who have found disappointment in airsoft, even when using a quality gun, fail to comply with one VERY important aspect of airsoft. It's a NECESSITY to use quality, heavy weight .2g+ ammo. I'm sure alot of your have played with cheap guns, and cheap .12g ammo. That is NOT airsoft. Airsoft guns also have better range, and are far more accurate at longer ranges.
Just my 2 cents
