Which do you guys like better and why?

I, personally, like airsoft a million times more. Not only are your guns a bazillion times better looking, but they all come with standard features that you'd have to spend more money on with a paintball gun. Airsoft guns come standard with backspin (and it's adjustable for different bb weights!) and full-automatic firing (I'm referring to AEGs here, too. Not crappy little spring guns, but the full out automatic electric guns). Also, the Gas Blow Back guns are super realistic because they have cycling actions that are just like real guns. Also, I hate wearing facemasks. And I like being able to use a tactical vest and not worry about it getting all douched with paint. And I like being able to use Magazines instead of stupid-looking Hoppers.

I like airsoft better because you only have to spend about $20.00 to get a good spring gun and the ammo is a hell of a lot cheeper.

Airsoft, without a doubt. I'd write a long explanation, but I can't be bothered right now.

Airsoft - Realistic guns.

Paintball - No fighting about if a person gets tagged or not.

That's all you need to know when comparing the two.

That's one of my fave things about airsoft. Ammo is dirt cheap compared to paintballs, and you don't need to buy gas (unless you have a gas-powered gun, of course. And still...a bottle of green gas that will last you quite a while is only 15 bucks). All you do is recharge your battery and your set.

Where can you get those realistic looking airsoft guns in canada? i found a site that had a M4 on it (one of my favorite guns) but it couldnt be shipped anywhere outside the U.S.

I want to get one of those...as like a sidearm or something. I also kinda want to get a Steyr AUG, but I need to save my $$ for the M-14 when it's out next January. P-90s are so cool looking, though.

well...hmm. That's a toughie. There is a team in Quebec (either that, or Ablerta) and they have a forum and stuff you can go post on. Just type "Canada Airsoft" in a Google search and you could find them. They'd help you out.

Also, go to www.dentrinityshop.com and check out all the cool guns they got.

Amen. AND, the real steel one is supposed to be so cool. It has 1/3 the recoil of a 5.56/.223 round (and take it from me, those don't kick that much), can penetrate some pretty thick Kevlar armor at 200 yards, and has the barrel length of an M4 in a gun that's not much bigger than an MP5K.

And yeah, I think Haloman should get banned, too. -blam!-.

I like paintball better. While airsoft is cheaper, in paintball it's easier to tell if you hit someone or not, making it easier to play.

I dunno, man. It also makes it easier to cheat in paintball, becuase once you get enough paint on you, you can just say that you got it from a previous game and keep playing.

And, in airsoft, if you hit someone in the face or something they usually tend to scream really loud because it hurts like the dickens.

I still wear a mask in airsoft. That pellet would do a lot of damage if it hit your eye. I don't know if paintball really is better, it's just what i play more often and i'm used to it. I don't get many chances to play airsoft.

I used to wear a mask, but it got in the way of my sites and I couldn't aim. Now I use ski googles. but I have a way sweet Pro-tec helmet to go with them so I look like a Delta Force operator.

Paintball is a great sport. It's funny when someone has a lot of clothes on, and you get to make fun of them how they look. It's more fun because it's one hit and you're out. Airsoft guns look like the real guns, which can confuse cops, and lead to injuries with more guns. I have a Spyder VIctor, JAVA hopper, elite and blue streak paintballs, JAVA mask, and C02 air. Bluestreak are the best balls. I bruised my brother's shoulder until he started crying. (shot until it got bruised, then he came up to me, and then I kept hitting his arm again, and then he cried). It's a great sport. Hoppers can carry more, unless you got an AK-47. There are more parks for paintballing than airsoft. Also, airsoft can lead psychopaths to sprees, saying they want to use a real gun, or rob banks with airsoft guns. It's happened over here in Cali. Also, paintball guns are more upgradeable, which can lead to far more range (Flatline barrel on Tippman A-5), you can adjust the velocity on the rear of a paintball gun. It's a great sport. I currently have 2-3 paintball fields around me (within 10 miles), and 1 airsoft gun, which is 15-20 miles away. Paintball is a more famous sport. I hear more about it than airsoft. I don't see any airsoft championships going on.
