Shawn_ already responded but I will try to touch up on a few things.


- Can AIRSOFT play with Paintball in a match (nothing serious just leasure) Like Shawn said, not on a field. I also wouldn't recommend playing paintball vs. airsoft as the airsofters would not have fun.
- Which would you recommend for leasure/just for fun gaming with friends? As an every day thing airsoft. Paintball is far too expensive to play every day or every weekend at that.
- Which would you recommend for "backyard target practice" thing. Airsoft, as I said before paintball is was too expensive for just messing around.
- Can I play this in my backward for target practice or something? You can, but again for messing around airsoft > paintball
- What type of guns are made? Are there sniper rifles? You can get all sorts. Woodsball guns are more of your sniper-type and speedball guns are more of your electric/autocockers that are more rapid but less accurate. As for airsoft, they make all kinds from automatics, snipers, pistols, shotguns, you name it.
- How much would you say avrage airsoft gun would go for? One from walmart.. etc.. can go from $10-$50 but if you really want to get into it and play for real they can run as high as $400+ On the other hand, a quality paintball gun can be over $2000.
- How much are ammo (for each) I'm not too sure about airsoft but paintballs run about $30/2000 for non-premium and $40-$100/2000 for premium.

Anything else just ask, I have played paintball for about 5 years.

Thank you very much I am going to look into Airsoft, more of them have that instead... let me look up how much ammo is for a Airsoft Sniper rifle (I love snipers lol)

 

[DBO]

Okay ammunition doesn't seem too expensive, like 10k BBs for 20-30 ain't bad on some sites.

 

[DBO]

Sorry for tripple post I am just excited.


Do the sniper rifels work good? I mean will I be getting my moneys worth? Like does it shoot exact where the scope is aiming (say without weather conditions)

I know stupid questions..

Also are all ammo's the same? (Size wise, not quality)

Very unlikely unless you are planning on dropping a lot of money on one..

Some bb's are different caliber i think.. but maybe I'm wrong I don't know a whole lot about airsoft.

 

[DBO]

Okay and (possibly) my final question is...

Do they make a lot of noise when fired?

All types of airsoft guns, not just sniper.

 

[shakaka]

They make an audible click. I've noticed it varies a lot depending on the type of gun. You can't really tell until you fire it yourself.

 

[DBO]

Alright thank you all of you for your help!!

Airsoft awnsers

- Can AIRSOFT play with Paintball in a match (nothing serious just leasure) For leasure i guess if you really wanted too. But other then that no
- Which would you recommend for leasure/just for fun gaming with friends? Id say airsoft. because you can use it outside of forests, courts etc.
- Which would you recommend for "backyard target practice" thing. Airsoft again. Paintball is a messy sport
- Can I play this in my backyard for target practice or something? Both you could. just depends on what your using for a target and how much you want to clean up
- What type of guns are made? Are there sniper rifles? Airsoft theres practically anything, Not the same with paintball
- How much would you say avrage airsoft gun would go for? Well you can buy at walmart for 20$ + Or go online or to a pro shop for all the way to a few 100$
- How much are ammo (for each) I can get a 5,000 case (Airsoft pellets) for 12.50$

hey,

I've been an avid airsofter for a while.
First off, the BB type is very important, you should not be using anything less than premium .2's in your gun.

Sniper rifles have A LOT of variance depending on brand. Many come "stock" with moderate capabilities, but dumping in a bit of money can make a big difference.

I'd highly suggest doing a good amount of reserach before buying any gun... Many China-copied Aeg's and sniper rifles run from 80-150$, and MANY of those are actually quite good...

If you want to play it safe, get a Tokyo Marui. Expensive, moderate FPS. But always excellent quality, consistency, upgradeability.
