Mate, you don't have to tell me I know very little, I don't know much at all about airsoft.It's your audacity to say that paintball isn't that realistic... well lets see how it is:
-Hurts more.
thats easily debatable..... Having played paintball for years and the same for airsoft I'd say they can both hurt like ###### 
:lol:
-initially has more force than airsoft therefore resulting in more momentum which means more pain. (I'm assuming your taking physics, F=MA, M=KgV)
actually Im not yet, which is kind of odd. Your right that the paintball hits harder if thats what your saying.... its got a much larger surface area than bb's
-I can't say, in terms of caliber, but I would say that a paintball is more realistic in terms of weight.
not quite sure what your saying here..... what does caliber have to do with weight?
Your basing realism on aesthetics.
Im basing it off of the guns aesthetics yes, but also how they shoot. Airsoft guns like I said shoot farther more accurately meaning more realistic
As for lighter? If you mean the gun itself, I would say your wrong, but I haven't held many airsoft rifles. Typically paintball guns are light, it's the CO2/NO2/CA/XE that makes the gun heavy.
I was refering to the projectiles. They are not as heavy obviously. *But*, airsoft guns are nearly at the same weight as the guns they portray. Paintball guns are not from my experience.
Now, lets see how airsoft is REAL other than aesthetics:
-Higher velocities
yup they can be upgraded to very high fps
-Less trajectory arc (however this can be easily fixed via a flatline - that is for paintball)
doesnt even compare to airsoft hopup
-More accurate
much more
-I guess more range now that you've
explained it
Im sorry I've had a long day at school.... get on live and i'll explain it better lol. I have a hard time putting my thoughts down in writing.
Now in terms of gameplay:
PBall
-Sporadic fast-paced action
bingo, though if thats your thing look up CQB games. They are played indoor usually and are very fast paced.
-Painful if shooting 400 fps (the standard here)
fairly unsafe.... unless minimum engagement distances are required
-You get to look like a gay motocross ***
:lol:
Airsoft
-Tactical gameplay
again much more realistic (airsoft is used for military simulation and police training more often than you'd think... they use systema Ptw's)
-Ends quickly (because of the accuracy of the weapons compared to Pball)
lol, dude there are so many different game types for both airsoft and paintball. Its not like you get shot and your out the rest of the game. Personally, our local group does 3 day (straight) games during the summer where 2 teams have a camp site and must complete various objectives same could be said for paintball because of how small the fields *usually* are.
-You get to look like an army jock
lol :lol:
Personally only masochists should play paintball.
Come to think of it, spending dough on a good paintball gun is far cheaper than to purchase a good airsoft rifle...
how so?
