I have a Tippmann A5 with cyclone feed, sadly I dont know much about paintball at all, friend gave it to me and a few of us just roll out in the back woods and hunt eachother.
My uncle is into all that airsoft stuff, It seems much more fun and hurts a bit more. He has all kinds of weapons for that crap. I love his "m249 like" airsoft gun, its crazy.
I'll only play Airsoft at a field that only allows rentals. A friend had to have surgery to remove a pelt from his hand when some jackass tricked up his gas gun too far. He still can't move his ring finger as well as he could before the incident.
I had a Tippman Prolite that I bought used from a field and fixed as a teenager. I milled the insides down an extra three millimeters and applied a coat of special epoxy that is frictionless when dry. Did the same thing to a bolt I bought, installed a three valve system to allow for a high pressure tank, removed some unnecessary metal to make it lighter and altered a hopper so the paintball weight was balanced above your wrist.
Anyway, stopped playing after most of my paintball teammates moved away for the military and sold the gun for more than three times what I put into it. The guy lives in NJ and I use to see it in tournament pictures a few years after but not anymore.
I miss my baby. I'll rummage for photos in my parent's basement next time I'm over.
paintball actually hurts more. the paintball is a larger surface area, and the paintball shell its self can cut you.
my beef with airsoft is that people just cheat left and right, cause there's no way 2 prove you actually hit someone, when I drill you in paintball, I know damn well I got you cause it's visble with a mark.

Yeah, there is no physical way an air soft pellet could hurt more than a paintball. Im not saying air soft does not hurt, I'm saying paint balls hurt more. I bled a few weeks ago from one, still have a bit of scar tissue there, I'll try and upload a picture.
Also, I like air soft too, couldn't get into it because NO ONE plays air soft in PA. Skirmish got me hooked on paintball, for life yo.

Well it's been I while since I've played paintball and felt it so its probably why i think it hurt more. Just cant recall the pain. We usually played in the winter time as that's when most of my friends and myself weren't busy with every day life. So much fun, but don't have the time to play or want to sink the money into it lol.
