Paintball hurts MUCH more than airsoft. The reason that Paintball hurts more than Airsoft is because the speed of the paintball is faster and the mass is also larger. Take an Airsoft BB and a paintball and look at the difference in size. Now, when you figure that Paintball markers have much greater speed than an Airsoft gun, you will find that Paintball will and should hurt more.
IT depends on where you get shot, if you get shot in the back of the head it hurts a lot more when it doesn't break, but if your get shot in the foot it doesn't hurt at all.
Paint balls. the hurt way more, and the paint its self can do some damage too
Yes, getting in an auto accident can hurt an unborn baby. The more severe the accident is, the more likely that it will hurt the baby.
There are no brands that hurt less then others. However, paintballs tend to harden up as they age. A hard older paintball is less "squishy" than a fresh new one and will hurt more when it hits.
It depends on where you get it, some places hurt less, some hurt a LOT more. The spine or the feet are especially painful.
there is a lot more to it than just the projectile size and weight. either one can hurt more. paintball has universally endorsed velocity limits set at 300fps which makes it safer (i will get to why in a bit) airsoft has no velocity limits and some of the snipers can shoot upwards of 7-800 fps, there has been a few cases of people getting shot in the neck at close range from a sniper and bleeding out in the woods before help can arrive, typically snipers are supposed to not shoot anyone within 100ft but without any kind of universal rule on the fps there is no way to guarantee safety like you can for paintball also while the airsoft projectile is smaller it also does not squish like a paintball will so it leaves a much smaller and deeper impact rather than a paintball which kind of deforms and spreads out its energy as it breaks (this is also why a paintball that bounces off of you hurts slightly more than a paintball that breaks, no break = contained energy that is transferred to your skin rather than going out with the exploding paint) i will say for the MaJoRiTy of airsoft guns out there that shoot right around 300fps or under the paintball will typically hurt more but the range and speed really are the determining factors in this question not just if it is an airsoft bb or a paintball that comes out of the barrel
It's not the sport that matters but how you play it. If you are stupid and don't wear masks then neither of them are safe. Paintballs hurt worse but in airsoft you get hit much more often. In paintball after about your second game you get used to getting hit and it doesn't hurt as bad. The same thing goes for airsoft. But when you think about it airsoft runs off batteries and paintball runs off of Co2 and HpA. So the only way you couldn't be safe in paintball is by not following the rules and not keeping good care of your gun parts and tanks. Hope this helps a little......Personally i play paintball. Send me a message if you have any more questions. Noobhelper 2 Paintball and airsoft are both safe if you know what you are doing and follow safety rules. If the question is what hurts worse, paintball will usually tend to sting more, but airsoft guns can vary in fps, (feet per second), and paintball guns have a set fps speed that fields will only allow (a limit), so you may run into airsoft guns that hurt worse than others, and paintball guns won't vary too much.
yes it does
No, paintball is more commonly known and is more popular. The last person was correct but I'll give a more detailed answer. Paintball is more popular than Airsoft but more young kids play Airsoft because it's not as dangerous. Paintball players normally start at around 13 while Airsoft players normally start around 11. Airsoft is something that you can do in the back yard, while Paintball is something you normally need to go to a place that hosts Paintball games for.
Whichever you will use more. If your hunting season is close, or you want to shoot clay's often, get a shotgun. If you would play paintball more then that, get a paintball marker.
Getting a piercing done for a second time always hurts more, because the new scar tissue that was used to heal it closed is harder therefor it'll hurt more.
