Paintballers are evil. They shoot unborn babies at each other!

Also miss actually marking players instead of having no proof for cheaters.

Now on to all the things I dont miss:
- paying three times the cost to play.
- fucken speedball players ... hate those clownz.
- unrealistic paintball guns.
- lone wolf style of play ... very little tactics or good team play.
- ridiculous commerical field prices.
- stinky stained gear.
- etc, etc, etc .....

Errm I'm a speedball player to this day and I am not a clown I don't have a red nose or big shoes

I believe what you call speedballers is what I comonally refer to as a full retard and in paintball they come in all shapes and sizes just remember that cause it's a little insulting to be lumped in with a bunch of asshats do to ignorent statements and thoughtless comments just because of how I play

^ agreed. Play style does not reflect the character of a person.

Aj619, no offence intended. The clowns statement refers solely to the style of clothing. I fully respect the skill level of them and fearless nature about them, but I can't count the number of times I ran into someone in full speedball gear wiping like a midget porn star after a gangbang bukake scene. Sorry just not a big fan of the gear and attitude of the majority of players. But your are right there are asshats in every aspect of life.

This is what I don't get. People claiming paintball is more expensive than airsoft. All of the real steel tactical/special forces gear, boits, night vision, etc, etc, etc, and all the things you wouldn't want to risk getting paint on. The only thing left is the gun. I'll agree that paintball markers where/are way overpriced in many cases, but a training weapon decked out in real steel gun parts, equipment, accessories, etc. No no, if paintball was more expensive for you than airsoft, you're not airsofting right. Lol. Anyways, with the lightweight and ergonomic nature of modern military gear and guns, you should be able to play airsoft at a much faster pace than paintball ever could. Paintball has one thing going for it, that is also its biggest downfall; the paint. Sure you can "see" your hits, but in airsoft you can more accurately hit your target. They may or may not call it, but you can make them pay, or oust them from the community as well by setting examples. Also, that never stopped paintballers from going, "that paint mark was already there", "you hit me, but it didn't break", "I got that from rubbing up against something with paint on it". Never played paintball as extensively, but I had many friends who did. Coming from paintball into airsoft was like going from watching an Down syndrome kid trying to play Punch Out on a broken NES, in black and white, to watching UFC live, front row.

Airsoft could never be played at the same speed as a speedball/Airball Iv'e been in matches that lasted 30 sec and have never seen a speedball game last more than 5 minuets

I refer you to

No

I like my skirmish kinda fast actually
it's risky and you need everyone involved, gotta push through the defense etc

[Ricochet]

Even if that were so, airsoft guns are accurate, shoot further, more ergonomic, and are allowed higher FPS. On that alone, it makes the speed of paintball unable to match it. We don't generally play speedball in airsoft, but we have.

Unsubbing from this thread. The amount of uneducated and ignorant information is really of little usage now, just people's ego talking.

Is this thread a complete trollbait? Sure looks like it from the aggressive tone and generalisations (from both sides) in this thread.
