Nerf VS Paintball !

After playing both sports , I decided to make a small comparison between them and state their pro and cons.
Let's start with paintball.

Pros :

1) Long Range Combat
2) Adrenaline Rush
3) Better Stress/ Fear Factor (  More risk , getting hit is painful )
4) Can apply Military Tactics ( Suppressing Fire / Flanking )
5) Better Simulation of a real war scenario
6) Will give you a good workout.


Cons :

1) Physical Demanding ( Paintball Gear is heavy and tiring to move around )
2) Painful ( Will leave scars )
3) Expensive ( Basic complete gear is around RM700 / rental around RM50 per game )
4) Cannot reuse ammo ( Paintball destroyed on impact )
5) More hardcore , not everyone will have the bravery to play paintball.
6) Limited place to play . ( cannot play in public places , only in special arenas )

Now let's compared it to Nerf

Pros:

1) Cheap. ( Complete set can be acquired around RM100 )
2) Safe. ( Ammo is foam so it will not hurt )
3) More casual ( Family and friends can join the fun no matter the age or gender )
4) Reusable ammo ( Spent ammo can be easily reused )
5) Many places to play ( can play almost everywhere )
6) Light weight gears

Cons :

1) Low Stress / Fear Factor ( No pain / low risk )
2) Low Adrenaline Rush . (  Low Stress / Fear Factor )
3) Close range combat ( Blaster average range is around 20 feet )


In conclusion , both sports are fun and exciting . I enjoyed both sports as a result.

I prefer paintball for a more serious game and Nerf for a more relaxing and fun game with the family.
