Airsoft vs paint ball which one is more painfull? and why?

 

 Airsoft vs paintball which one hurts the most? and why?

I have been thinking about this for a long time, guess what? To answer this question, I researched and found out that paintball hurts more than a standard airsoft bb, Actually a lot more than an airsoft bullet(bb's).

 

Why does paintball hurt more than airsoft?

 

Let me get straight to it, why does paintball cause more pain than airsoft? The answer to this is pretty simple, The fps of both the paintball and the airsoft gun can be the same ranging from 300-600 fps, which is pretty awesome; the difference is that a typical airsoft BB weighs about 0.20-0.25 grams, while a regular paintball bullet is the three times of an airsoft bb, ranging from 0.65-0.75, as we already know that both have the same fps which means that both can travel at the same speed, Now if they travel at the same rate it is evident that the bullet having more weight will hurt more then the other, So that was all about which one hurts the most?.

But there is another thing that we must consider before jumping into the feild and that is where does it hurt the most to get a hit by a paintball/airsoft gun?

There is another factor that we must consider before jumping into the feild and that is where does it hurt the most to get a hit by a paintball/airsoft gun?

 

Where does paintball or airsoft hurt the most?

If you ask a die-hard fan from airsoft or paintball whether getting hit by the balls injured, they will most likely answer, "no," it simply stings a little." 

Yet, such as getting an injection, a few spots can sting more than others. We have narrowed the down to these weak spots, so you can be extra secure from getting hit on these spots.

 

Your eyes:

airsoft eye protective gear

As your eye is one of the most sensitive and exposed places in your body, you can do permanent damage to it if the shot hits you hard enough. Therefore, getting a good protective gear for your eyes is as important as buying a helmet for riding a bike, stay safe, stay happy!

 

 

Your Fingers:

Gloves for airsoft

Your hands and fingers, especially the knuckles, are pretty likely to get a hit on because you are holding your gun with them, which makes them pretty exposed to get a hit on— They are the most known spots to get a physical injury during airsoft or paintball games.

 

Your Neck:

 Neck cover for airsoft

The Neck is another sensitive part of the body to get a hit on!

It usually stays uncovered, which leads to it being visible for anybody to get a shot, and trust me, it hurts very much to get a hit on the neck; you actually might get dizzy because of the hit on your neck. To prevent that from happening, get your self a proper neck protector.

 

Your Ears:

Airsoft protective helmet

Your ears are made of cartilage and a very little layering of muscle on the top, so getting a shot of airsoft bb or paintball wouldn't be a good idea.

Moreover, a very hard hit can cause damage to the internal system of your eardrums, so make sure to have good protective gear for your head, which will cover both your head and your ears along with your eyes.
