Paintball VS Airsoft!

[longlivetheZ]

Ya know...if paintball is too expensive for ya, "airsoft" as TV knows it is too expensive, too. Some expensive shit, man. The "airsoft" gun I have was cheap and is of very high quality. Now that I think about it, though...I dunno if my gun is a "airsoft" gun or not...

...I know it hurts...lol

if it shoots the .6mm bbs than yes.

If it shoots pellets of led or copper than no.

go to www.airsoftextreme.com and look around the AEG area.

Dont buy from them though, they are expensive. An aeg from Classic Army or Tokyo Muari are great, around 300ish and shoot 300fps. Wont be rippin off anyones ear, but will still shatter a tooth or put out an eye *seen it happen*.

Oh, and ammo...you get 3000 rounds of good stuff for $15 instead of 300 rounds of crap for $15 like paintball

and on the level im on in airsoft...the same with paintball would be hundreds of dollars more.

Well im trying to get into something, and its all going to be expensive, but im still not sure if im going to get into airsoft of buying some turntables, because it'd like to do that too.

well...airsoft is awesome and if you were out here I could get you deep into it.

But if you dont have anyone doing it in your area it gets old real fast. If you can get about 5 people into it, all have fun and then go to events its really badass.

Everyone around here plays with the clear guns... like clear m16s and uzis and shotguns with the plastic pellets. Does that count as airsoft?

I got shot in my finger with my own MP5-A7H, that hurt alot. Freaking thing had a spring big enough to make it recoil.

I've never taken a hit by a paintball gun, but it just doesn't look good.. Airsoft games are like Counterstrike, i love it.

I could just never get into airsoft and I already had friends into painball, so now I have a Spyder TLR witha 16" sniper barrel. Frankly, i just don't like how my airsoft gun shoots. I can barely tell if it even let off a shot.

And what do you mean woodsball is queer? Woodsball is the shit (assuming your not wearing bright colors like a fag).

i prefer paint ball i dont do it much anymore but it was more action packed because the guns shoot faster. Those of u that say paintball is expensive well ur right u can put alot of money into it or u can put a small amount of cash into it and be just as competitive. A Tippman 98 custom with head gear and tank runs about $200 and u cant add a flatline barrel which serverly increases muzzle velocity and range. not to mention all the springs u can adjust. With a 98 custom (owned and tuned by my cousin) i was shot in the chest from about 70 yards and hard a scar for 4 months. Not to mention it knocked my ass to the ground and took the wind outta me. The same gun hit my friends finger at pretty much point blank and it ripped away part of the skin. Ive done the airsoft thing to and its fun just not as fast paced. Just watch the pro paintball on espn sometimes it doesnt do the game justice but its a glimpse into it.

And you can't have airsoft grenades, now can you?

PAINTBALL...
only if its speedball (air bunkers)
plus there are refs so you cant wipe..
if you like the whole realll thing they have life like guns..
check out rap4 paintball even have lil casing that falls out after every shot
only bad thing is that paintball cost a hell of alot of money..
i play and every time i get out to the field it costs me about 150..
also paintball guns are very high maintenence
plus gear costs alot... all my gear put together.. probly about a grand nxt shocker, carbon fibre tank, halo, invision i3...
but 20 bps ftw

neither. everyone in my platoon has a stick. and a rock... and we have to share the rock. so consider yourselves lucky with your fancy shmancy guns, we'll take you out either way.
