Airsoft looks more fun to me, the ejected casings and the replica weapons.

I dislike team building though, I'd rather slink into the shrubbery by myself.

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

I airsoft. I just always have I guess. Personally I think there is more tactics in it. But I am really biased because I only went paintballing once. They are both pretty fun.

I don't think we have Airsoft in Australia (probably something to do with gun laws), but I've been paintballing a bunch of times and it was fun as hell.

Paintballing for sure.

It just seems much more intense than Airsoft.

Gives me a good rush.

it depends how you like to play let me simplify

AirSoft- Battle field BC1,2 etc.
(more slow paced more tactics due to long range weaponry and usually big games like 40v40 or more )
Paintball- CoD1,2,3 etc.
(just jump in and play and have fun in close combat)

so basically its all down to you

Paintball is definatly more fun. Although airsoft is more tactical. Iv been Airsoft once i enjoyed it but the people are really nerdy and wasnt my idea of fun, too serious.

so PAINTBALL all the way :)

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.

You can if you have an automatic gun. I have a bolt action sniper. I fit it with a scope from my hunting rifle and properly scoped it in for the range of the bb's.

Airsoft has cooler guns. But paintballing is more fun because you're actually afraid to get hit. So you can use real tactics instead of just stand up and shoot what moves.

I've never used an air soft gun and I've only been paint balling once, so yeah I'll go with that.

It's a lot of fun, quite tiring but very exciting at the same time.

[sup]Painful to, I still have one of the back nipples from my last match at paintball. Anyone who went to Escapism UK 2010 and took part in the paintball event, should probably know what I'm talking about.[/sup]

Airsoft all the way :)

I've played paintball once and it was annoying. Mostly because of my team. But it was still quite fun
