I much prefer paintball, as I have only been to airsoft once. However I have been paintball at least 50+ times and get more enjoyment and go mad sometimes wearing just shorts lol.

Airsoft is more accurate and tactical, paintball is more all gun ho and fun.

Personally paintball without nothing on hurts more, though getting shot with airsoft up close might hurt more can't tell.

I prefer paintball but I do think airsoft is more accurate. I remember running around the neighborhood when I was younger gunning it out with everybody. I didn't have no thousand dollar paintball gun but the one I got was for the low off a buddy and I think it was called a Tippmann A-5

Paintball is fun especially when you have had a few drinks before playing

I tried Airsoft once, as soon as I arrived I felt like I was at a Call of Duty LARP event. It was cringy to say the least, obviously not all Airsoft matches or fields are like this, just my experience. I guess you could call it more "realistic" or accurate though.

I prefer paintball. It's much quicker, and the community seems for the most part, to be older and/or more mature. It doesn't hurt, at least not a painful hurt, it's more of a sting. You're so pumped up on adrenaline most of the time, you dont even notice. The pain tends to show up the next morning.

I prefer going paint balling and feel like it hurts more.

Ive played both plenty, I much prefer paintball both can hurt it depends where you get hit but who cares.

I'd have to say paintballing is more fun.

The pain doesnt effect me from either, but i do prefer paintball. I went about a year back, and the place was decked out like an army base it looked really cool. I feel like paintball places put more into the design of the arena then the airsoft places i've gone to - atleast in my area.

I feel like airsoft is more "realistic" than paintball, but I enjoy paintball more. Also, paintball hurts a lot more in my own personal opinion. But airsoft is definitely more accurate.
