Neither. Both perform as intended.
Pellet is more accurate and more expensive.
ADDING: If you like to shoot rapid-fire, there are more options for semi-automatic guns among BB guns. A round steel BB is easy to load and to make a gun self-loading (loads into the chamber). Most pellet guns have to be loaded by hand, one shot at a time, although there are a few models that use 5 shot clips that look clumsy to use.
The compressed air gun, which shot metal bb's was invented before the paint marking gun.
A paintball gun is several magnitudes stronger then a Nerf gun. A paintball travels at around 200 mph, where a Nerf gun is around 10.
They run on the same concepts, having a compressed gas propel them. But bb guns are generally more powerfull, slower shooting, "classic" looking rifles and pistols. Paintball guns are either military simulation or built specifically for the needs of paintball players, that look nothing like real guns or bb guns.
Not easily. The modification would cost more that it is worth.
No because in Philadelphia it illegal to have type of air soft for example pellet paintball and bb
In general scopes are not very useful in Paintball due to the relative inaccuracy of the Paintball itself and the tunnel vision effect of the scope. but if your Paintball gun had weaver or 3/8 rails, you can mount whatever scope (or sight, a better option) you wanted on it
I would suggest an AirSoft BB gun. Not a Paintball or steel BB gun. Unless you have someone who is familiar with firearms then I would get him a Daisy Buck BB rifle and an adult to teach him the respect and rules of handling the rifle. The "Daisy Buck" is designed as a starter BB rifle for youngsters.
Paint balls. the hurt way more, and the paint its self can do some damage too
You must be 18 to buy bb and paintball gun accessories.
No. Firstly you should not be shooting bb guns at each other. Second, you can not play any sort of wargames (paintball, airsoft) in public areas.
Pellet guns are more powerful. They are stronger because they use a CO2 Gas, whil BB guns are spring-powered.
The purpose of a paintball gun is to fire paintball pellets, to mark opponents in the game of paintball.
