Tacos.

Tacos are better.

But only if they have cheese and nothing else.
Once sour cream hits that... then they're no longer better.

Then better becomes White Castle belly bombs.

airsoft is more "realistic" in the way bb's move etc. but less realistic in the way that you can have a clip with 700 rounds. 

I prefer paintball because i can play woodsball nicely.  Airsoft (unless you buy REALLY cheap guns) is the exact same as speedball... just strings of bb's instead of strings of paint.  I think they're both bad:p

I'd go with playing woodsball with a milsim type marker if you're into realism... much better than airsoft if that's what you're looking for.

Actually in REAL Airsoft, like they play in orginizations you are limited to tha amount of ammo the weapon your Airsoft Gun is modeled after can carry. IE: A M-16A2 can only be equipped with 30rd Magizines.

I don't like airsoft. It's just not my cup of tea.

Airsoft is cool, but I'm sticking with paintball.

 Airsoft guns are "cool" and everything. Except you can only shoot about 15-20 feet. If that. Its not even really accurate.(even with hopup)

If you're talking crappy spring powered guns, yes.

My gas pistol is probably more accurate than my 98c with a Lapco bigshot and good paint.

Airsoft is cheaper to shoot and has a much more realistic feel as far as the way the weapons handle and realoding goes. I like that a lot. A good airsoft gun is also usually pretty accurate, meaning you use less ammo.

However, it's harder to find people who play airsoft(and the D&D crowd who is in love with all things Asian gets on my nerves quickly)and hitting somebody with an airsoft gun just doesn't give me the same kind of satisfaction. I think it's great for just messing around with friends and low cost plinking. Also, if you own a handgun for defensive purposes, it's a good trainidg aid if you get one that mimicis the real steel in size, weight, and function.
