@@krotasignificant9010 a small piece of plastic hurts more than a giant ball of paint? Also a bag of bb’s are like $5-$15, paint balls are like $50 for the sane amount of shots
Good I want it to hurt more. Makes people think twice about cheating. And I gotta disagree with the “drip” part too. It’s different but still looks fire af. Also paint is biodegradable.
@@Shadows__07 I have to disagree on wanting higher pain. It makes it less fun to play fair because it hurts more, and cheaters are unlikely to change even if they get a paintball to the face. The rest of your reply is valid tho, I didn’t know that the paint is bio now and looks is an opinion
@@shinig4mi0mega97 airsoft, generally, is a very tame "sport." I do airsoft and paintball personally, and when I wanna chill and shoot I go with my airsoft buds, but when I wanna get super competitive: I either go with some ex-millitary buds into airsoft tournaments, or I go to paintball tourneys with some college buds I'm friends with
@@NoseyWhiskers I play airsoft, but i have also played paintball many times, and in my experience you do the same excercise, also is fair the say that in both games i have played in forest with slopes and unevenness so maybe for me is more the terrain than the sport
When i was a kid, back in 2000-2006 we built the most amazing paintball course ever. We played paintball like the play aorsoft nowadays. We played war, and the course was huge so you could not see the other team at the start of the match. So much fun memories.
Yoooo! I think we faught during OP overwatch 4 in florida! Ive been using your Overwatch 5 trailer to show people what this hobby is about for years 😂 Crazy seeing a short from yall. Gl out there!
How so? You buy a marker, tank and hopper in milsim you buy Gun, sight, (Laser, tracer, light, pressure pad optional.) plate carrier, belt, sidearm, holster, helmet. I can keep going.
@@momoniji6439 milsims are more intense versions of the game. Kinda like competitive paintball. I used to go paintballing when I was younger and now I'm a casual airsofters. Fom my personal experience I have spent less for more gear in airsoft while in paintball I spent more money for less gear. I could go more in-depth but I can only say so much in a single comment. Thanks for your question!
Why not just play them both? I love airshit for trying new gear and new ways i wanna build my real steels. Paintball i just go for fundamentals and go harder. For me, theyre equally fun for different purposes. But id choose paintball cause murderball go hard
I have to agree actually. I loved playing competitive paintball. Supair will have a special place in my heart forever. But for the woods I like Airsoft better
Unless you’re paintballs never bust like mine always done and airsoft ammo so much cheaper and even though it still stings but your body doesn’t really swell that much with bb’s
PERSONALLY. In MY experience. The paintball community was... not good. Mind you, with airsoft on the rise, I imagine they're pretty similar now. But maybe bc airsoft is an honor sport it helps weed out bad actors (sometimes). Airsoft was cheaper, and being a military nerd I loved the 1:1 replicas in both the guns and gear. In the grand scheme of things. Both are "combat sports" and both are fun. Airsoft just won my heart. I was a kid when I was into paintball. But transitioned to airsoft when I was teen and stayed on that path since. That's just my experience and preference. Wouldn't say no to paintball now or anything, but definitely am an airsofter.
exactly the same for me! Started to be interested in paintball. Played it for a while. It got to expensive. Years go by and I discover airsoft..... now here we are :)
You did not just say that the airsoft community is better than paintball lmao. I can just be scrolling through youtube and I would find comps of airsoft fights, magdumps and cheaters. Any big youtuber has cheater experiences on the daily.
I love both paintball and airsoft. Both communities have plenty of nice people. Both activities are equally fun. Both have their pros and cons. Airsoft can also be expensive when you get into real steel gears. The conclusion of this video is absolutely true. What's important, IMO, is to go out and have fun.
Paintball wins every day over milsim. Good community (Not kids that mag dump then run away and way less fights) Cheaper (Yes milsim community ammo isint the only cost in the game) Milsim has little original parts (Copied guns, Parts, HPA, Speedsoft and gear.) And less cheaters.
What’s better is objective? And yet you still managed to fail at answering the question. The video should of been your opinion on which is better not ours
I personally prefer airsoft, I enjoy the realism- mostly when it comes to the replicas. But I have never tried paintball, so I been thinking about giving it a go.
I'll play both and they are both fun, but paintball feels more like only competitive, not saying shooting plastic bbs at each other isn't but with airsoft there is more you can do, your guns look cooler, its something you would probably invest in more, and the events for airsoft bring way more opportunities than going to go run out on a field just to shoot non stop (if you understand what I'm getting at there). overall personal opinion, airlsoft is better and paintball is fun for meetups or competitive competition.
Airsoft is more played than paintball pretty much everywhere nowadays. It surpassed paintball in popularity shortly before 2010 and ever since then airsoft has been growing while paintball has stayed stagnant.
thats super interesting. I remember back in the day the DERDER tournament videos showing games in Miami at the beach and such. It would be awesome to have that with speedsoft!

Airsoft costs more to upkeep and is less "sport like" and more LARP. I prefer paintball due to the higher quality guns and marking ability.

Very true with paintball markers being so much easier tech-ed than airsoft ones! Otherwise I find paint so much more expensive! of course it can mark but I actually like my stuff not completely dirty!
Having played both. Skill level in paintball (competition level) is way higher than airsoft. Plus airsoft is soft full of moaners complaining about head shots (boo hoo)

its crazy what kind of tuning they are into over there....
@@PhoenixFeatherAirsoft that's the name of the game.
Bro Australia's rules and laws for these ar actually clapped
to me it comes down to cost. BB’s are significantly more affordable than paintballs.
so much more! Still people are complaining!

Agree! To have fun in your free time is the best and most valid argument!
best sports: airsoft painball mountainbike motocross climbing
I play both it’s fun as hell
I agree. I played both and I like them :)
I personally heard of airsoft far before I heard of paintball.
As a paintballer I like to play both especially with my work schedule. If I can't make a paintball event, I'll go to an airsoft event.
that is pretty dope and dedicated!
One day i hope to have the marking capabilities of paintball with the cost effectiveness and ease of range of airsoft
MagFed is the Fusion of Both sides best things together.
basically the one you chose

Ah yes, the milsim, with all those speedsofters it is so well known for.
@@ethanklee9041 Im not sure what that means but that is a great point. The milsimers hate speedsofters because ergonomics > cosplay 90% of the time
its true :)
As a paintball player I must say both sports are very similar and are basically the same
What’s better is objective? And yet you still managed to fail at answering the question. The video should of been your opinion on which is better not ours
No it shouldn’t have picking neither is the right decision of course
It’s smarter to be neutral it’s OPINION
You got it bro. It’s whatever you prefer. They have both their places otherwise they wouldn’t exists or one would overtake the other etc. I like both
@@saucemanthegoat exactly but I came here to see Phoenixes thoughts on it and what HE prefers. Not a general opinion

It's really fun to be honest. To competition factor is just higher! I started out with paintball back in the day!
Both good
imo airsoft is a better sport for everyone coz u can do both casual or a tactical dude but with paintball i see it as more casual fun anyone can do

Thats where I am standing even-though speedsoft is closing the gap with competitive gameplay
Airsoft is better in all areas, in ALL
nice gun
what if there were paint bbs to mix the two
I think they tried that before and the bbs are just to fragile then that they broke in the mag or in the hopup chamber
Airsoft (I can test my loadout)
what the actual hell was that "gun"
Very different games, very different communities. Also paintball is way better, fight me
idc bout realism i go to a indoor feild
