Video of some airsoft scenario in minnesota a bit ago I was at, I was into airsoft a bit 2 or 3 years ago, all of the guys in the video who look older than 20 are either in the armed forces or ex-police/swat officers. So all the younger guys would just get our asses kicked everytime, it is alot of fun though.

No its everything and more. I hate using an icredibly fake looking gun compared to a real feeling, real weight airsoft rifle, plus its cheaper. I dont have to refil my CO2 every fucking few rounds, i just switch charged batterys than recharge the dead one. GG though.

More correctly they cannot be compared to eachother, TOTALLY different games. Airsoft is a mil-sim game, paintball is just a game without the milsim element, and IMO, is just as fun as airsoft, just way different. You wont be able to (legally) hit a target out to a hundred yards or more with a paintball gun unless you go longbow style at it. Minnesotas airsoft org. is filled with guys who are ex-paintballers, wanted a more realistic simulation, SWAT teams across the country train using airsoft.

I prefer black pellets over white ones though, as white pellets are fairly easy to spot when they fly through the air (even at speeds of 300-400 fps), and thus lets other people know where you're shooting from. |

How would you know what's better? You don't own an airsoft gun.
