deepblue: uhh, that would be the Walther P99, right? the James Bond one...

for any of you that have played airsoft, whats the pain level like, compared to paintball? Cause if its not too bad then...its guns, man, guns! I would have one less excuse to continue stalling and just go out and buy enough firepower to epuip a small army like I should've done back in dickety-four.

[Unknown Target]

The pain level for airsoft is quite below the pain level for paintball Me and my buddies have spring guns and we can play without armor or tac gear (altho we do wear safety glasses).

pfft don't even compare the two.

paintball >>>>>>>>> airsoft.

I have done airsofting in the past and still own a Desert Eagle Biohazard2. Haven't done it in ages though...

Maeg: That wouldn't happen to be a potato launcher would it? THOSE are fun...

[Anaz]

the airsoft-obsessed chap I was talking about before has a potato-gun type system that hurls 20 oz bottles full of airsoft pellets that send pellets everywhere when they hit the ground. It's nifty.

Oh, one nice thing about airsoft, is that you can play in national forests/parks because the bbs are biodegradable.

[Hippo]

yeah, most paintballs are too, but they stain woodland creatures ... Don't go shooting the animals with the BB's either though...

I played a bit of airsoft when I was a kid, and was pretty into paintball for a couple years as well, but I quit paintball because of the people. Just.. in the midwest US, there are way too many crazy gun freak types that honestly scare the crap out of me. So I just play darts now.

[Stealth]

yeah.  most paintballs are primarily soap, so if anything, you're doing nature (and any person you hit) a favor

[Hippo]

except the squerrils ... It gets all gummy in the fur, and makes a general mess...

[Stealth]

gets gummy in the fur?  damn, you've shot a squirrel? i'm suprised you didn't kill it, or at the very least knock it out.

i never have, and never will shoot an animal with my paintball gun.  i know people that have shot at deers, squirrels, even domestic pets with their guns, but i can't bring myself to do that.
