3 Reasons Airsoft is Better than Paintball
Posted by MTS on 05/28/08 in Sports
Paintball is pretty popular, but it is nothing compared to Airsoft. Despite their similarities, they are two tremendously different games, and Airsoft is clearly the better of the two.
Excitement:
Airsoft is far better than paintball in terms of overall excitement. First of all, the pain you experience from an Airsoft pellet is real – which motivates you far more to take the game seriously. Secondly, you are mirroring real combat far better, and you can feel your heartbeat increase as you prowl the grounds.
Realism:
Airsoft guns are made to be almost exact replicas to real life weapons. It can be unbelievably difficult to tell the difference between a Classic Army brand gun and a gun that is actually used in the military. Paintball guns try to mirror that same style, but they are unable to, due to the overall size of their ammo.
Gameplay:
Here, again, Airsoft pulls out ahead. Gameplay in Airsoft is fast paced and realistic, with easy to understand rules and but a difficult to master style. And the sheer number of weapons makes this game even more exciting (hold one of the Airsoft Sniper Rifles in your hands and tell me you are not wowed)
The only benefit paintball has is that it is harder to cheat, because the paint gets on the outfit. But that isn’t really that big an issue because if you are playing with people that cheat, you learn who your friends are very quickly.
Airsoft is simply a better game than Paintball. I hope it catches on in the US soon.
