Airsoft people always seem to amaze me, take a look at this site & the way they promote/advertise airsoft. Rather than sell its good points (if there are any?) it/they just slag off the paintball industry at every opportunity, unbelievable & sooooo unprofessional.

http://www.wolfarmouries.co.uk/wolf/default.asp?page=faq

Here are some quotes:

What's more airsoft guns don't break the bank like paintball.
(Paintball guns are actually cheaper to buy than airsoft)

Airsoft is similar to paintball yet not, it's cheaper more realistic and more fun (ye right, i hit you, no you didn't, yes i did, no you di.......)

Even though appearance wise they look very realistic, none of any airsoft guns can and will ever be able to be modified to fire live ammunition (Really)

Paintball guns shoot plastic balls that are filled with paint, which break and mark the opponent's body upon impact, airsoft on the other hand is based on honesty, when one feels a hit the person acknowledges the hit and walks off the current game and awaits the next. (Honesty.....LOL)

Most sites also have game Marshals who help in acknowledging contacts (How?)

This is in great contrast to paintball aka painball where it is not uncommon for players to be knocked senseless or go home with melon-sized bruises on their limbs! (I have run sites for 9 years & never heard anyone say paintball hurts to much to play)

There are well over thousands of airsoft enthusiasts all over the world, in the UK, US and in Japan the numbers possibly go up into the several hundred thousands. (Huge then)

AIRSOFTING IS CHEAPER THAN PAINTBALL.

Thousands of paintballs have converted to Airsoft as they have become disillusioned with the money-hungry paintball industry. bbs are a lot cheaper than paintballs.100 paintballs might cost £10, but for that same amount you could get 3000 bbs at Wolf Armouries! Like with most hobbies the initial starting costs can be reasonable high; around £300 for a Hi-grade electric airsoft rifle with all the accessories, but once you've got the kit it's much cheaper than paintball to play. (They say the price for paintball is £10 per hundred balls & airsoft is £10 for 3000 balls. I say liars...average price if you own equipment is £10 for 500 & considering airsoft guns are typically full Auto or machine gun replicas etc they use much more bullets than paintball. LOL according to them thousands of "paintballs" have converted to Airsoft )


Wolf Armouries what a great company, what a joke these guys are soooo stupid they dont even spell check there website.. Feel free to drop an email letting them know what you think of there sales tactic, i know i will.

This is somewhat old news, have a look on the gold board.

Airsoft, paintball, whatever floats your boat then so be it. Airsoft is cheaper and much better for mil-sim than paintball ever could be. With paintball's evolution into a sport, away from its mil-sim roots it has become a very different animal to airsoft so direct comparisons are rather pointless and childish. My brother plays airsoft, he has the full get up and enjoys it greatly with his friends. He also has paintball gear (eblade) but rarely plays due to little interest in the tourney scene and there isn't much in the way of walk-ons around here. I'm yet to have a go at airsoft and I'd be lying if i said I didn't want a go but I do doubt it would push my buttons in the same way as paintball does. Also Airsoft really is a sh!t load cheaper than paintball, a full set-up will cost about 300 and thats for DECENT set-up, rifle, hi-cap mags, batteries and whatever camo cuts your mustard at the army surplus. Not to mention running costs are a shed load cheaper, my bro says on an average day you won't shoot more than 3500 shots, which costs £10 at site rate. You won't shoot more balls than in paintball cos the full auto is generally no more than 12bps and encounters are a lot rarer (less lane shooting etc).

Either way, horses for courses. If you like airsoft, play airsoft. If you like paintball then play that....And as my bro says if you like both.....play both. Childish bitching about the validity of either won't get you anywhere.

It's funny about the honesty thing though... we should get a big gang together and go try it out, but refuse to "die" when shot by shouting at the marshalls "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M SHOT?! HAVEN'T YOU SEEN RAMBO? I HAVE AT LEAST ANOTHER 20 LIVES LEFT... C'MON, BE REALISTIC!!!" then smear more mud on our faces, lacerate our chests with cermonial machetes and run off into the woods whooping like red indians... :rolleyes:

Hey,

I think what you say is totally true & your right bitching about it to people is childish, but to do it to try & promote your company /industry is very unprofessional indeed. So i suppose you really clarified my point.

My problem rests with the way this particular company & some of the industry promotes their sport, a lot of what they say is true but hugely exaggerated. For instance the price comparison & the painball comment are ridiculous.

So its not about weather airsoft is better than paintball because everyone is different. It just f*%cs me off that i always seem to hear this crap from airsoft companies.

I suppose i should be glad that i can sell paintball to people without having to slag of another industry, the way i see it is paintballers dont think/care about airsoft in anyway, airsofter's are jealous because their Airsoft war industry has not grown & will never grow as paintball has/will.
