I haven't gone paintballing in over a decade but did it a few times as a teenager at birthdays and it was really fun. Thought it might be a good time to go again for my upcoming birthday. However, airsoft has also become a big thing over the past few decades so maybe that would be more fun instead. Thoughts, experiences, opinions?

    Do the airsoft pellets hurt? Bc the pellets hurting is what makes paintball fun I think.

    If it's all the same then whatever is cheapest

      It can hurt, but all those chest rigs and gear will probably pad it off nicely lol. That’s why it’s superior to larp as a guerrilla and just wear an adidas track suit with a minimalist Chinese civil war chest rig

        Okay, I've found out airsoft inves camping in this thread and would fucking love to LARP guerilla warfare with other leftists. Wae and violence suck, but holy hell do I love doing safe simulations of it cause they're also fun as hell. I also just like camping and bushcraft stuff cause i used to have essentially a kilometer of farm and another kilometer of forest to myself.

        Yeah it's gotta hurt to be fun imo, otherwise you're not scared of getting shot. And then you may as well be playing laser tag
