Airsoft, definetely. Not only can you get amazing upgrades and a great deal of variation (with many different kinds of grenades, trip mines, scopes, laser sights, attachable grenade launchers, sniper rifles, shotguns etc.), but the shots go further and hurt more. I mean, I've never seen a paintball go more than 50ft, and there's no chance at all of the paintball traversing the average paintball field. However, some BB guns can fire up to 200ft. Because of this, airsoft sites are often far bigger. And the guns are far more powerful as well; paintball guns can have up to 300fps, where as a decent airsoft sniper rifle can have up to 500fps. So, yes, they do hurt more, but they're all the better for it. All in all, airsoft is better, and I reccommend people to play it. It's the man's sport.
AIRSOFT all the way better realism and airsoft rounds travel further than paintball unless you have a 70$ airsoft gun than yeah the range sucks my 350$ SR-16 rifle travels well over 100 ft at 330 feet per second in addition it features a m203 grenade launcher the fires a 120 bb shower grenade
but if I had to choose...Airsoft. Painball just looks stupid. the 'guns' or 'markers' just look like pimped up honda civics in a way, under all that glits and glamor, tis just some metal tubing with some air, whereas the pimped up honsa civic is just a grocery getting four banger under all those stupid ****ing paint jobs and spoilers and rims...
Airsoft is nothying fancy about it. it is a copy of a real firearm that shoots BBs. nothing fancy, no red colors or blue stripes and all that stupid BS. Matte black is the way to go.
AIRSOFT!!! All the way. I hate having to wear stupid ass huge goggles that fog up all of the time. With paintball, it's way too expensive, seriously. Paintball can even be too powerful, getting shot 20 times in the leg or knee can't be too great for my running or baseball performance. Airsoft doesn't create long term effects on you, you feel it, say ouch, and you're out. Airsoft has way funner to use guns, they look freakin real, scare somebody to death. Kinda like paintball, LOVE AIRSOFT \

You can basically equip Airsoft guns (that has RIS installed) with real weapon mods such as nightvision scopes, laser sights, tactical flashlights, and more.
you damn airsoft freaks, u guys think u know what war is all about. BUT YOU DONT! UNTIL U PICK UP A REAL GUN AND KNOW THAT U ARE ABOUT TO TAKE THE LIFE FROM SOMEONE ELSE, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.
Yes,i do agree with the guy who said...""you damn airsoft freaks, u guys think u know what war is all about. BUT YOU DONT! UNTIL U PICK UP A REAL GUN AND KNOW THAT U ARE ABOUT TO TAKE THE LIFE FROM SOMEONE ELSE, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.""...If you wanna see a REAL MAN cry join the force! Losing your life or seeing someone else die and colapse on you shoulder while your fighting for your own life.!!!!IS NOT A PRETY SIGHT!!!! I just got shiped back do to a broken-leg and i think....just maybe....i have the experience to say PAINTBALL is a little more realistic...(Sorry, i still like AIRSOFT though)
Simunitions!!! Too bad they are expensive and potentially dangerous. Considering you have modified real weapons, it would suck if some how things went really wrong and someone went in with a real weapon and live ammo. But boy, you know when you are hit.
If I had to choose between airsoft and paintball, I would go with paintball. I read a cool article about something called Real Action Markers. It's similar to simunitions, but involves proprietary paint cartridges, weapons, and is still mag fed. The hoppers are my biggest complaint about paintball, how gravity affects them, and the overall profile of the gun.

only 50 ft? what kind of paintball gun were they using? Wal-mart brands? If you upgrade a paintball marker correctly you can achieve 200 ft or more! Hear of a thing called the tippman flatline barrel? you obviously have no paintball experience...
