I been hit with a paint ball from a 2 grand gun pushing the limits leagly with their pb gun and a bb from a dieing famas hurt more.
Coming into airsoft I didnt flinch when a paint ball hit me I could ignore it. When I got lit up with that dieing famas I was on the ground in pain. Now from what I am told it takes an avrage of 2 bbs for me to register them in(feel them). I prefer paint ball in this respect cause it left a mark and I know I was hit for sure.
I have only been airsofting for less then 4 months. Pain tolerence can build up quick. But its the pain that makes it fun.

Uhhh, I played competative paintball for years and couldn't count the number of serious bloodied welts I had gotten during speedball. Paintball can draw a lot of blood. Although paintball guns shoot at a lower velocity, their projectile is much larger and much heavier which equates to a much harder impact. Paintball markers can also run on lower PSI than you mentioned ... again, that does not make 280 FPS feel any harder or softer. The cost of a paintball marker also has nothing to do with FPS.
As for airsoft. Battery drain on an AEG also does not affect FPS. It will only affect ROF.
When people say they didn't know they were hit in airsoft ... 99% of the time they are bullshitting, the other 1% would be players wearing those stupid ghillies (which should be outlawed in airsoft since it apparently makes people totally unhittable) or complete inexperience (I don't really buy this excuse though). If you can't feel it, you can hear it. Even with fake armour you can generally feel the impact ...
