. Paintball is also A LOT MORE REALISTIC than that airsoft crap.... hahhaa paintballs actually hurt.

Yeah, 'cause, y'know...real guns use hoppers, shoot giant cellulose balls filled with paint, are blue/pink/purple, and look like screwed up plumbing projects. At least airsoft guns use friggin' MAGAZINES.

Wait...I honestly think that you don't know what real Airsoft consists of. My bad. There's a lot more to it than the crappy little 20 dollar spring pistols you can get at Wal-Mart.

Real Airsoft is 300 FPS (and that's just stock) guns, fully automatic and battery powered, modeled as closely after the real deal as they can be. No one really knows about these because they're not sold much here in the States; you need to get them from China if you don't want to get ripped off. Airsoft guns can use things like scopes, laser sights, flashlights (and they all actually look good, not to mention that you don't need to worry about a paintball breaking them) and fully functional silencers that make a huge difference in your game.

Don't make prejudiced statements about the sport until you know what's really behind it.

Meh, well, everyone's entitled to their opinion.

However, I feel that you still haven't played actual real Airsoft.

Pump is my style! Phantom is what I was getting, but now I want to build sniper (not the kind who hide and have 20" barrel, bipod and scope).

Senario=bad, if i want a gun to look real it's gonna shoot real bullets
Airball=good

grenades are for girls! I'd rather bunker people

I play without protective gear. It just makes it harder to dodge the balls.

protective gear is -blam!-, a cup would be good to wear, but running is a little uncomfortable...

Playing with protective gear is worthless in both Airsoft and paintball. You're only trying to cover up an area that's about four inches in diameter, and the chances of that specific area getting hit, especially if you play like a smart person and keep moving so that your legs are constantly blocking the groin from being shot, are low to nil.

The thing that bugs me about a lot of paintballers (but I'm not saying that you all do this...it's just mostly from my experience and the people I've played against) tend to be both campers and solo players. Playing as a team is so much better and cooler, especially once you've learned hand signals and formations :)

protective gear is stupid, i live in Sac California, have a 4+1 belt, and a spyder 2000.

Paintballs only give a small pinch. HOW DO YOUR LIMBS HURT 3 WEEKS LATER????

Yeah, I have one of those crappy Brass Eagle guns. The Brass Eagle balls really sucked, they broke a lot. Like, one out of every three would break and then we'd need to clean out the barrel again.

Then my friends and I discovered Airsoft. We've made our little Brass Eagle guns into claymore mine-style booby traps. They're pretty nifty, and it's funnier than crap to see someone hit the tripline and then get blasted with about 200 bbs in the groin area.
