| Airsoft |
So I see where the airsoft crowd have their own rag. Kind of reminded me of APG from 20 years ago. Everybody all Rambo'd up with their Kill Faces on. So is this the successor to the great game of paintball? |

It really seems to attract a different croud. The hard core airsofters are all about playing army, and cool looing guns and uniforms. They try to simulate everything about army life except for blood and death. Paintballers seem to be more about adrinaline and smack talk. :( |

I only played airsoft once, at the first Skyball they had a demo setup on the floor...I found it neither fun, nor stimulating. Having someone point one of those guns at you is too much like real life hold up simulation to me. I'm not a cop, I'm not a soldier, this is supposed to be fun. -- Big Habeeb (a.k.a.

>> and death. >> >> Paintballers seem to be more about adrinaline and smack talk. :( > > Hmmmmm. > > How insulting. > > www.tristatespecops.com Remember, we're talking in general here. I've played with many outstanding paintballers, and spoken to only a few airsofters. I'm sure there are great guys to play with in both arenas. I've got nothing against people wanting to play army if that's what they enjoy. In fact, I've got nothing against smack talkers having a good time with others that enjoy that part of the game. It's just that I don't enjoy those things. I do, however enjoy the adrinaline that paintball brings out. Even though I haven't played for a while. :( |
