The plastic pellets don't hurt like a bitch, paintballs sure can.
I'm sure it's fun, and it's a lot cheaper to play .. I've just got in to paintball in the last year and all the hardcore paintballers at the field I play at look down at airsoft. I was just perpetuating some ignorance for the masses.

One of the things I know My husband likes about it is they can play indoors, they have a few huge building that they are allowed to play in, Theres really no mess like paintball. They do go around and vacume up all the little BB's when they are done, simple.
I know in one of the last outings aone of the guys got his front tooth shot out from about 30 feet, and another one of the guys took a hit on his bottom lip from about 10 feet breaking his lip in half...OUCH! now they all wear full face masks instead of just googles.
From what I have seen, a lot of the airsoft guns (cheap ones) are just that, cheap, but you start moving up to the AEGS etc and they start shooting out almost as hard as some regular bb guns. I know the one we have here has no problem shooting through a pop can at around 15 feet, and on full auto (I think its rated about 700 rounds a minute) it will cut a can in half in seconds, and this is stock! You can spend money and get even stronger springs, motors batteries etc... Good way to waste a lot of money quick I think, but he enjoys it so I figure what the hell let them have some fun
Also, if funny to watch guys shoot the G3, I swear every guy that picks it up for the first time and fires it on full auto giggles like a little school girl! LOL
