Who Here Plays Airsoft Or Paintball?

The title practically asks the question.

If you're comfortable with posting your gear or pictures of it that'd be awesome. (Mainly airsoft)

What I got for airsoft so far:
Lancer Tactical M4
TSD M9 CO2 Gas
Condor Molle Plate Carrier (Black)
Mesh Skull Half Mask (Hopefully soon a Shemagh)
NC Star 1x45 Red Dot Sight
Full Uniform (ACU)

Please no rude comments on others gear, etc.

If you think airsoft and/or paintball is pointless and/or a waste of money then why'd you view this topic?

Never done airsoft but would love to. I usually paintball once or twice a year, more sometimes but it's rare :P I don't own any gear so I just get the standard stuff you rent. Paint balling is one of my favourite group activities for sure.

This is actually a brilliant idea for the next RaGEPARTY!


Anyway I've never done it, always wanted to do it, but never came of it. Personally I would love to get in the airsoft game, but sadly it's illegal to own the weapons here in the Netherlands. :S
But yeah, never went paintballing either, I need to do that at some point, me and some friends spoken about it before, but it's quite a bit of money and there is always something why we can't get enough people together to do it.

I always liked paintball - we used to play every Sunday but stopped about 2 yrs ago because people just stopped going.

I went paintballing for the first time 2 months ago. It was soo much fun!

I have been playing paintball last year, it was very enjoyable!

I liked Airsoft but only played it once. Because the cost of the venue and equipments are such a pain in the pocket. Oh, and we played it without any vests and it felt good getting sprayed by an M41 in the back while lying down.

I tackled my friend after getting sprayed badly at the back. Because I already admitted I got hit and still he continued.

For what I heard also though, Paint Ball is way more expensive and painful.

I understand, it's way too expensive, but way too much fun.

Paintball hurts a lot, I can agree, but airsoft does too. Airsoft is a TON cheaper than paintball, in paintball you have to stay up-to-date with all your gear and be as competitive as possible especially when you get good, so it takes a lot more money, especially for paintballs. >.>

It's too much money, that's why. :')

I actually play Paintball with friends whenever I have time, I actually have my own stuff.
Don't have a picture on my pc right now. But this is my paintball marker:

Might get another one though pretty soon as I want to do a lot of modifying and that one is limited. But it's definitely a nice starting point :).

I'd recommend Paintball to anyone really, it's a lot of fun, and a nice activity that isn't that expensive if you just invest with a couple of friends, and just get your own stuff.

Tippmann's are the way to go! You can upgrade almost everything on them, I had a Bravo One, similar to yours but without the stock.

I have a dangerous power G4 now, it's alright.

Paintball competitions are very expensive, I've actually never heard of one being cheaper than $100! Just make sure you have a lot of money saved for it.
