I don't know why there are so many airsoft posts in here this video is about the .50 cal movement in paintball that may or may not happen.This isn't a stab at airsoft or a video about paintball being better its about the .50 cal paintball platform and why Richard is bring it to the market. So if everyone can stop bashing the video because he mentions airsoft is cheap to play Id appreciate it. Again not a stab at airsoft.

What is the price on a Nano?

[Munkamedia]

there going for $599

[SgtGrave]

we don't airsoft cause it's cheaper, (especially in canada where the guns cost 3-5x as much) Airsoft is a different experience.

50 is bullshit... you could easily make 68 cheaper if the compnanies stopped being so greedy... 68 doesnt cost even 25$ to make a 50$ case... they are greedy and know people need the paint to play so they mark it up towhatever they want

[rocketdog2116]

@Schultz98 It is not just the cost of making the paint it is the cost of shipping it, paying the workers and the stores need to make money so that they can stay in business. Also the 68 paint that costs $ 25 is probably Mosterball.

[TheJohnfunnell]

paint is the biggest cost in paintball

@FinalAirsoft Lol yea totally when you could just buy a Rap4 and it looks just like a real gun and actually has the recoil and the blow back and the noise. Really fake I know. Or buy a tiberius arms first strike round gun and the round actually fires like a real bullet rotating in the air being super accurate.

@AcousticBoxo Yeah, I don't mind airsoft, I just choose not to play it, but it really pisses me off when airsoft players use realism as their only argument about which sport is better. Their entirely different, one isn't better than the other. GAHHH!!!

[AcousticBoxo]

@AStaticCharacter Very nice point. To be honest, paintball is it's own sport. Paintball doesn't try to "replicate" the military. Even scenario players(like myself) may try to have military like guns, but the action is much different. It's fast paced and more CQB closer than a real life gun fight.

[AStaticCharacter]

@AcousticBoxo I think it's because they want to be more realistic, militarily speaking. If you go into a battle, you're not gonna see fireteams just running around going rambo on everyne (usually), you're gonna see more reserved, disciplined combat, with clear squad distinction. I think their goin' more for that, because the majority of airsofters are A: Too young to join the military, or B: Pissed that they didn't join, and too old to now join, so they try to act like they did.

whats wrong with airsoft?

[AcousticBoxo]

@AStaticCharacter True, but I look at it like this. Tactics are made so less casulties are taken..because people don't want to be shot. I have played airsoft..and when u get shot, the impact is much much MUCH less than a paintball. So why worry about getting shot? Yes...everyone has their opinion.

[Albon2]

personally i like the way the sport is? why change it.

[AStaticCharacter]

@seijisota Oh, okay, didn't quite get your wording. sorry.
