on the day you sign up to an airsoft site, your first and only post, you ask what our opinion is of paintball kit?
I suppose it's the next evolution in paintball, but you'd have to get a large playerbase to jump into it to make it viable.
80yard range isn't insignificant, but well tuned airsoft rifles can already achieve that, it seems that paintball is trying to catchup in that respect. The problem with paintball is the paint. A soft projectile breaking at the wrong time can be disastrous for gear. Cleanup is filthy. I'm not a fan of any paintball aside from the shooting people aspect, and that I get in spades with airsoft, without the mess.
