    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.

    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.
