Paintball hurts more than airsoft. The guns are much more powerful and fire a heavier projectile. (Just a shame they can't to it very far or accurately! :P) A point blank hit from an airsoft gun (running about 400fps) will leave bloody welts which will eventually heal over. A point blank hit from a relatively low powered paintball marker (like those used for rentals at many sites) will lleave a scar.<br><b>References : </b><br> Not to sound cruel, but if you’re the kind of person who is likely to cry if hit sufficiently hard, then maybe pantball isn’t for you.

It'll sting for a few seconds but the pain will go away and you'll have a welt or bruise there but nothing too bad. Wear gloves because getting hit in the hand hurts like a b@#ch. You'll love it though. You get a way better adrenaline rush and you'll have fun. Just don't invest a lot of money until you've tried it or are sure paintball is for you.<br><b>References : </b><br> If your wearing pants and l/s shirt it wont hurt too bad.

On my experience, paintball stings more, but I was only shoot in my leg. What ever you choose to do... At least, HAVE FUN.<br><b>References : </b><br>... Played both in the past.

I play paintball frequently and don't consider getting hit to be painfull, but I have a high pain tolerance and I haven't played airsoft so I can't give you a good comparison. Best way to figure out if paintball is your thing is to try it yourself. Just wear loose clothing and an extra shirt. Might also be a good idea to contact the field and see if they have beginner days/nights so you don't run into some speedball nut who's going to shoot the crap out of you. Most fields are generally well run and take into consideration the experience level of players.<br><b>References : </b><br> Before you go and buy anything, visit a local field and rent some gear, play a few games, and then you’ll know what it’s like to get shot.
