Nah, no chip. I play both ends of the spectrum. I just avoid the woods nowadays because without a new contact lens perscription... it's just a big green blob to me.

Also have bad natural nightvision... without PVS-7s I find trees with my face.
I still think it's apples to apples. Same velocities, same ranges, same ability to get full cover from a shrub or piece of plywood that couldn't protect you from a .22, same angles, same drills, same fields (therefore, same tactics). If I had a serious beef with airsoft, I wouldn't have an TM M4 next to my Autococker.
I do have one little bias in an airsoft game though... on my team, I'd rather have people that crossed over from paintball, than a pure airsofter. People with paintball experience have no fear of the plastic bb's and play a more aggressive game.
plus the original question was what's better, marksmanship or ROF, not which is better airsoft or paintball. And imho, the answer is both

Sometimes you gotta 1-shot people, sometimes you gotta sweetspot a line @ 14+ bps. Doesn't matter if it's a paintball or airsoft.
