I have comfort in knowing when I hit someone with a paintball, they'll be feeling it in the morning. Not always, but on a good hit, you'll know.

Don't get me wrong, it looks fun and cool and all. I just like inflicting pain when I hit someone. It makes you want to play smarter and better because you don't want to get hit.

It seems that Airsoft pellets don't hurt because you don't even wear a helmet or face protection.

Edit: Nice pics, too!
See, thats the thing, everyone I know that has played paintball is sick of it because people do not call themselves out. Airsoft is more geared to the mature crowd and the honor system is taken seriously. We haven't had much problem at all except for a few little kids. If you are sure you hit someone, you call yourself out and grab the other person out as well.

As far as feeling the bb's... think about someone pinching you with a little piece of skin. Imagine that and about 15-20 bb's coming at you at one time. They do hurt. Sometimes they don't, but thats why there is the honor system. I like doing milsim type of stuff and the weapons are all metal and feel like the real thing.
