No compare the weight of 1 paintball to 1 bullet, the weights are differnt, but closer than an airsoft round and the paintball round is bigger and contains paint so hits are hits, there is no argument about it. Yes, both have blowback guns but paintball guns are modeled the same exact way if not more realistic because the military uses them to train, if its realistic enough for them, its realistic for any of us on here. Airsoft is the poor man's paintball simpily because to get started its cheaper, many people who want to play paintball and dont because it cost too much because 1000bbs cost MUCH less than 1000 paintballs, greengas is cheaper than CO2, and the guns are simpilar and easier to operate/maintain. I dont wear gear because it would be fair that way, and I much rather have a turbo kit on my dirtbike than have a new gun. And its worth the risk of the pain, and its worth the pain too, if you were serious about it, you wouldnt mind getting hurt to a degree, as for breaking a foot, it was out there, but he did it and it was worth it because we got the win. Simpily airsoft just isnt as hardcore as paintball, I rather play airsoft, but if I could play what ever I wanted, it would be paintball.
Oh yea, and Greg didnt go to my school, I just looked at the previous post, he went to school with my cousin and he saw the cast, but people, not nesecarily me take it so seriousily.
