Poll: Paintballing or airsoft?

[vento 231]

Paintball, and I love my new alpha black/e-grip.

I've done both and Airsoft is the best in my opinion. As opposed to comparing them to boring games I'll make it simple.

Do you like getting paint thrown at you and masochism? Go for paintball.

Do you like not having 14 year olds squeal in glee as they perform the above, with the added benefit of getting as close to real guns as you can without paying through the nose for a permit? Airsoft is for you.

Of course, I could go on longer with my comparisons but there is really no need. Now, please excuse me, I'm off to fine-tune my WW2 British para kit in time for my next WW2 themed game. That Sten Gun won't buy itself.

What kind of Sten do you have?

damm that thing is nice, I have an AK47. http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=5331

Oooh, nice. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I can appreciate a solid Airsoft gun.

However, have you seen the AK102 on Wolf Armouries website? (I think it's a 102.) It has the best foregrip in existence, I bought the rifle, used it a bit, then removed the foregrip and stuck it on my XM8.

I have a third alternative: NERF!
It's a surprisingly large community, and contains far more true-blue engineers.

Neither, mostly because one of my friends said it best: "It's like playing Call of Duty only it hurts!" I try to stay away from things that actually have the players shoot each other.

Paintball, because airsoft is illegal here.
Also there is a good paintball place half an hour away from where I live.

Can someone explain how airsoft is more "realistic"?

For most Airsoft guns the ammo is stored in clips, like real guns use. And in serious Airsoft the clip only holds the correct number of shots, so yes that means that most of the clip is empty. But it makes it more realistic than the normal ammo hopper paintball guns use.
