Its kinda like this... Paintball is hightec tag , take speedball for a good example, you have your teamwork, startegy and enforced rules. Where as airsoft emulates war having weapons model exactly like real guns, disorganzied groups running around on camping trips recreating scenes from Platoon. Don't get me wrong there are groups of disorganzied paintballers doing the same.. but I've yet to see an Airsoft league or real reason for kids to have pellet guns modeled after real life weapons. MHO . fire away.

It may be like that over there, but there certainly are very organized groups in Airsoft, and there are exercises with real military commandos where they teach some of their vast knowledge in combat training.

I suppose it's just who you play with that makes the difference, just as in paintball.

MHO as well, of course :)
