price
airsoft is MUCH CHEAPER. the guns are about the same price but the ammo is very cheap. 1000 bbs come to like $7... 1000 paintballs is like $120.
And airsoft guns are generally better for simulations. Sure you can "cheat" with them but if you're simulating rl situations with a cheater... that doesn't quite work.
top of the line airsoft guns cost about half as much as top of the line paintball guns. yet airsoft guns are usually fully auto (can select fire to singe shots) while paintball guns are not full auto, can fit in your normal tactical equipment like holsters where paintball guns cant, have rails for all your stuff like eo techs and surefires where paintball guns don't have rail systems that are similar to your real guns, and if you want realism loaded with much fewer bbs. but if you want fun can fit hundreds of bbs in a small magaize. reloading is more realistic as well as you reload a magazine in the normal magazine well instead of dumping balls from tubes in a hopper.
for simulations airsoft wins hands down. as for fun factor... well that's debateable...
