Hey everyone, i was thinking about getting a paintball gun...and then i realized they are fairly expensive and im short on cash. I looked into alternitives and found something cheaper called airsfot guns. I was wondering if anyone has one of these and if they like them. Also wondering if there are any recomendations on types i could get.

forget a airsoft or a paintball gun go out and get yourself like a 20 gauge start out with that ;D or atleast a pellit gun

Airsoft is good. I play it. Start with some cheap spring guns, and then when you really think you want to get serious move on to an AEG (Automatic Electric Gun) As for brands, all springers are pretty much the same. When you look at AEG's I would suggest getting a Tokyo Mauri.

problem with airsoft guns is they are cheap they break and well you cant get revenge on somone by shattering a car windows like you could with a paintball gun at 300 psi

Are you kidding me? If you get a proper AEG those things last for years. Airsoft guns are cheap in that they cost you less. They look cooler, last long, and with about 500 bucks you can get a loadout that rivals most anyone else. Can you get a competitive paintball loadout (with clothes, mask, paintballs, everything) for that much? And airsoft bbs cost a lot less the paintballs. Less messy too. And usually you don't have to worry about shattering car windows while you play (just due to less mass). In regards to power, most AEG's fire in the 300 fps range, but most good ones can be upgraded up to almost 600 fps (which is dangerously high, although it is possible to even get to 700-900 fps) They usually have an RPM comparable to their real life counterparts. Of course these are the high level AEG's which usally cost around $300.
Personally, I'd rather run around with an M4-A1 replica than a bundle of pipe with a can attached (although I admit, paintball is fun in its own respect) Besides, running around woodland in camo, darting from cover to cover, spinning around trees, doing swat raids in abandoned buildings is a lot more interesting than squatting around some inflated obstacles in bright orange jumpsuits. They make great movie props too.

lol who is in inflated obsticles? go into the woods take 2 teams seperate them, and then go to war. if i could only paintball in an arena typ deal with those balloon things everywhere it wouldnt be much fun for me either. but i dint know those airsoft guns were worth a crap at all in any way...most ofem i have seen were for the most part junk toys

if you do get a cheap paintball gun just freeze your paintballs itll make the odds a little more fiar ;D
