You’re gonna meet weird people and rich gear hogs in both, but I’d say more weird people in airsoft and more rich people in paintball.
Airsoft is often mixed with children, teens, and adults unless it’s a specific event/location. This is where people get to cosplay as elite operators or any other soldier (i.e., nazi), so you will meet conservatives and libertarians. Not necessarily a bad thing, but you can spot them. I don’t enjoy it because it’s hard to stay organized or larp when so many themes and playstyles are active. If you prefer to be more thematic and methodical, you’ll need to seek out milsim events. I don’t like the people because it only takes a little for them to reveal how much of an NPC they are.
