What is better & why - airsoft or paintball? ?

well, i have come across this question many times asking witch one is better. It is actually just a matter of opinion, i like air soft (cheaper, more realistic looking guns, and variety within looks and compatibility) paint ball (although very expensive, holds a very high popularity over air soft for extreme players do to (almost all credit to) speed ball. witch is a little different then paint ball. Air soft and paint ball are both fun. Better, i can only say air soft, but paint ball is a little more of a hobby, and requires a little more heart.

Its a tie. You have paintball which hurts more. Then there is air-soft which is more realistic. I play paintball, b/c they are coming out with clip-loading guns that are replicas of real ones. It's gonna be sweet!

Neither but if I must answer paintball hurts more and it is easier to distinguish when someone gets hit with the paint. I would say neither still, I really did not enjoy it when I was 16 I probably still cannot. Back then there was a limited option in friends. edit: Not to seem condescending as my cousin who is 10 years older than me and married with children loves paintballing with his friends.

Paintball. when you shoot someone it feels much more warm inside.
