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

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

It does for sure but it's a totally different experience
