Lucky. I don't think the school would support it. You know, in Portugal they don't give much importance to sports in our schools.

I love airsoft, but I don't have anything better than my MAtrix knockoff spring shotgun. Well, I do have a couple gas pistols (one green gas, one CO2), but they're just pistols.

I prefer Airsoft to paintball, because A: Paintball guns can't hit a damn thing and shoot about as far as Nerf guns and B: It hurts like hell. I like Airsoft because of the realistic feel to it, honor system (if someone is caught cheating you can execute them by firing squad without accidently killing them/parylizing them from the neck down), and most importantly accuracy. See, paintball takes all the problems of nerf gun wars and airsoft and makes it into one huge conglomerate of boneriffic.


Paintball:

-Tries and fails to disguise the fact that you are playing with toys
-It hurts like hell
-You can't hit anything more than 30 feet away
-It hurts like hell
-It's way too expensive
-Did I mention it hurts like hell?

Airsoft has the same problems, no? Hell, I'd say it hides the fact that you're playing with toys even MORE. People need to stop trying to prove how hardxcore they are and just grab a brightly colored hilarious weapon and shoot their roommates in the face.

A good NERF pistol is eight bucks total. That's pretty impressive.

Paintball tries and fails to hide the fact that you are playing with toys 90% of the time.

And playing Airsfot lets you cheat a lot easier, which sucks when the opposing team is always saying that you can't hit them when they all died about 5 times.

And that's boneriffic. You're on a Lego forum, playing with toys is what we do.

Your third point is wrong. You need a better paintball gun if you can only hit people 30 feet away. If the pain of paintball makes you not want to play as well, you complain too much anyway. There is an honor system in paintball as well. You can still run around with paint on you and people won't notice. There's less of a chance that people will break the rules. If they do, they're going to get shot point blank, which, as you said, hurts.

I've seen plenty of disrespectful people play paintball, but I've seen more play airsoft. The redneck adults that play around here complain too much when they die. Because the guns look more realistic, the game is more serious to them, and then they all want to cheat so they can stay alive longer and complain all the time.

isn't it kind of the point of paintball that is hurts like hell? and the fun you get from inflicting this on others?
Act first, then think, then try to find a way to cover up the horrible mess you made.

hey don't talk about shit u don't know about. 1. paintball guns have an average effective range of about 180 feet, and an accurate range of about 130 feet and shoot at about 300 feet per second. 2.you stated that it hurts like hell. it can't hurt like hell and have an accurate range of 30 feet, or the fps rating would be about 50-80 fps.3.u know what else? neither airsoft nor paintball guns are toys. they both have the capability to make u blind. thats why u have to wear protective body armor and face masks. 4. it hurts like hell cause there not toys! 5. without paintball there would be no airsoft, so quit ur bitchin. 6. airsoft bb's are NOT bio-degradable, paintballs are. so, they are more eco-friendly. 7. i have NEVER heard anyone kill someone by firing squads. so ur wrong there because in a game, no one would have the time or patience to do that. 8. cheating is so much easier in airsoft because u have no proof u hit someone. in paintball because of the splatter, it is much harder to cheat and get away with it. 9. airsoft guns have been taking and painted over the orange parts and been used to rob stores. so airsoft guns are actully contributing to crime, cause they are too easy to get ur hands on. with paintball u can't do that cause of all the tubes and wires. 10. airsoft sniper rifle have a fps rating of an average of 510 fps! get close enough and hit someone in the right place, it could kill them. paintball guns all have the same average of around 270-299 fps. its actully the basic important rule to have that. even the snipers have that rating. 11. nobody has been killed in paintball. only idiots who decide not to follow the rule are injured. also, paintball is SAFER that football by a 3-1 advantage, meaning football is 3 times more dangerous than paintball.

i did a project at school on this. i got a 100. don't doubt me.
