    Anything that hurts less than getting shot in the pinky by one on a frosty morning should be alright!

    Paint ball is great craic but it's expensive in comparison to airsoft. You could easily blow €100 on paint balls in one session. you'll learn to be more choosy in what you shoot at. also I don't think the range would be as good in paint ball.

    So in answer to your question. definitely give it a go you'll have a laugh. Yet to try air soft not sure if it'd by my thing. Is there loads of kids playing it?

    Well its always your decision, why would you anyways need our suggestions?
    You will just get confused, Like one will say he got shot in his eyes :eek:
    And the 2nd guy will say he had an amazing day on the field.
    So the experience just vary people by people, Listen to yourself.

    When I decided to give paintball a try, my friends just gave shi**y advices like you will get shot here their bla bla.
    I didn't listened to them and just gave it a go and today paintballing is my favourite game.
