So, I just wanted to let you guys know that something freakin awsome has happened in english class a few days ago. We had to write a persuasive paper on a controversy topic, and me, being myself, decided to do it on airsoft vs. paintball. The next few days the class had to do reasearch on their topics, and of course the database that the school has has nothing to do with airsoft or paintball. So my teacher gave me permisson to use the internet freely! So I went here, AS-R, Paintball x, and airsplat all period searching. And when I was done getting the information that I needed, I would just go back the the forums and have a good time posting and playin around because she thought I was reasearching, when I was really done. haha prolly on of the best days of my life. So I turned in the report, but now I have to have a speech. I need your help, please give me some suggestions below on how to convince the class that airsoft is much better than paintball. And don't just say "because its more fun" please elaborate. I appreciate this a lot! Thanks

i did an informative essay on airsoft, some of my topics were that it costs less money (sorta true ;D) that its more relistic, it hurts less, its based on the honor system (only attrracts honest people to play), thats what i talked about

It also attracts dishonest people because then they can cheat and get away with it... so that doesnt really work.

my poiint there was that we could identify cheaters adn get rid of them, but ur right, to some extent, and keep in mind that i was trying to make airsoft look good, and while my points werent all totally correct, they were mostly correct

O.K. so I gave um my speech and well, I don't know if i mentioned or not, every guy in my class is pretty much a huge paintballer. So, I played paintball for 2 years before I came to airsoft about 2 years ago. So I told em everything, and then i pretty much recieved hate notes... But I don't really care because it is really just an opinoin and this is mine. Just to update ya. I am not gonna lock this, because it might turn up some good ideas.

Well, You can clearly see the maturity difference in airsoft compared to paintball.
Paintballers revenge/ retaliate, and get steamed when airsoft is mentioned.... But Airosfters .. like 50% of them are paintballers, and alot more than that were at 1 point in time.
Paintballers get on my nerve because of this, all the smack talk, when really, If i brought my mp5 on to any paintball field, I'd single handidly defeat them. Airsoft's accuracy and range is much better. They are 2 different sports, and i think they need to stay that way. I dont know what paintballer's problems are with airsofters, it doesnt make sense to me.. we are going to start a world war III here with this topic, So if no one minds, im going to lock it.
* locked * 4 now
