Visit this website www.milsimquebec.ca and you will see a large community of milsim paintball player that love the sport and don't want to transfer to airsoft for many reasons.

Paintball and airsoft don't have to be in competition all the time. Both sport have their advantages and their disadvantages.

I honestly can't think of any reason not to switch besides the increased pain felt yes people say this is a reason and that they can't walk down to a field any old day and there afraid of cheaters...??? due to no paint honestly if your into Milsim then airsoft is a better choice and the closest marker to anything airsoft are rap4 other then that theres nothing that gets you close

my thought is just from looking at the prices of airsoft and paintball and reading up on shit

airsoft:
Get more ammo for ya buck ie:5000rd for like $15
The guns are light and cheap
very compact

Paintball:
Ammo u go to Wal-mart or Crappy Tire (canadian tire) u get like 2000rds in a box for like $20+
the guns are more expensive and mostly are light

and airsoft equipment is compact and easy to store in battle as in we have the small co2 cartridge's and mags are small

as in paintball u got this big old CO2 canister on ya gun and u have pods for the rounds and other shit

stfu you are an idiot and not qualified to comment on anything airsoft.

you gottta give credit to the Japs.. who invented Airsoft in the 80's

Actually, I invented airsoft in the 50s.
