here in the US airsoft is not well recieved, it's too easy to cheat for one thing (hell you don't even have to wipe)
I dig the realism of airsoft guns, but it's hard to argue with paint (although there are paintballs for airsoft guns, everything I've read says they're not good for the guns and will jamb yo shit up).
I'd still love to have a few airsoft guns (like an HK PSG-1).
Now days ppl are rather goosey about real looking guns, and if you're playing an unorganized game, there's a good chance the police will show up and may join the game with REAL Glocks.
Aside from that (and the fact that Americans have little sense of sportsmanship, and aren't honest enough to call themselves "out" without being marked) I think airsoft would be kinda fun.

Exactly, I'd just like to dispell a few myths because Airsoft is sooo damn fun. But it's really one of those things that you wont know till you played with the guns.
The cheating problem is probably the biggest con, I mean not to sound pissy but.. when you get hit you know it, ROF 600-800RPM @ enough power to break thin glass...
besides that CQB is best suited for airsoft (Rainbow 6 action), which is unfeasable with paintball (it would pop you a new asshole).
airsoft is also far more realistic and inexpensive
I advocate airsoft, why? paintball just no fun no more and unless i can get my hands on MILES gear....

Maaann paint ammo is costly...2kr per round. I just checked the prises here in DK, i never liked paint ball guns very much (They look like those pump action squirt guns *LOL*) but now i´d never even think of buying one.
Nah.....give me a gas, or electric softair gun any day.

Yeah. The realistic weapons were a major factor in my descision to buy AirSoft. Plus you don't have to deal with the mess that paintball leaves behind. You can have a quick AirSoft match and, 5 minutes later, be back doing what you were doing. No special equipment is required beyond a pair of protective goggles. Here's some pictures from one of my brother's AirSoft matches:
We go to a kick-ass abandoned farm house out in Wisconson. It's great for CQB. Here are a couple shots of it:

Looks fun. Too bad I can't get the same experience out here in the urban jungle without, as another poster put it, the cops joining the game with REAL weapons /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
