I was at my local airsoft/paintball store when I over heard a conversation between the store owner and a customer. The customer was trying to figure out which game to go into. Airsoft or Paintball. The owner proceeded to tell this guy(maybe 19-20) that paintball although popular in the past is starting to go out of style and that airsoft is the "New" thing to get into.
I was amazed I never believed that airsoft would ever surpass paintball as far as gun sports go. I listened a little while longer and heard that many paintball fields were allowing airsoft more and more. Aswell one place he knew of for sure was opening up strictly for airsoft use. I was wondering if this is old news or is this completely wrong and the owner has no idea what he is talking about. I would love for airsoft to become more popular so that I don't have to travel as far to play in a real facility. What I want to is, is airsoft getting more popular than paintball? -------------------- Looking for Players in St.Louis, I know of places to play. PM me

Like others have said, the paintball I used to play was just like the airsoft I play now.
The "unscorablility" of airsoft is what makes it good. The last thing I want to see is "win at any costs" sport people in airsoft. Lazer tag is different.... long range daylight usable miles gear does exist... but it's pricy. Lazer tag is very prone to sportization, positional obscuration of sensor is the main thing. I really hated those guys... Every time I saw a guy with his elbow up in the air I wanted to beat the stuffin out of him. -------------------- UTG AEGs are great upgrade platforms, they are not great stock guns.
They upgrade the same as TM and CA. They really do. I swear, upon my mother's grave, they really do. Upgrades are not any worse for UTG guns than for TM guns. UTG guns are a good deal, so long as you are not afraid of opening your gearbox. Utg guns use normal bushings. The gear axles are normal size as well, but some are poorly made. When the metal pins that are the axles are cut, the ends sometimes become slightly deformed. A little sanding will fix this. If they were actually a different size, sanding wouldn't be enough. Only some gears have this problem, many don't. 2702 ---> not the product of two primes. |
