Is airsoft less expensive than paintball?
Considerably. Airsoft guns cost no more than mid-range paintguns nowadays. Even with extra mags, batteries, and other accessories, it’s not more than the initial paintball investment but much less expensive to play. Since you recharge batteries for airsoft, there’s no CO2 or Nitrogen fills required and the ammo is far less: about 1/5th the cost of a case of paintballs for the same amount of bb’s.
