The compressed air gun, which shot metal bb's was invented before the paint marking gun.
They run on the same concepts, having a compressed gas propel them. But bb guns are generally more powerfull, slower shooting, "classic" looking rifles and pistols. Paintball guns are either military simulation or built specifically for the needs of paintball players, that look nothing like real guns or bb guns.
In general scopes are not very useful in Paintball due to the relative inaccuracy of the Paintball itself and the tunnel vision effect of the scope. but if your Paintball gun had weaver or 3/8 rails, you can mount whatever scope (or sight, a better option) you wanted on it
No because in Philadelphia it illegal to have type of air soft for example pellet paintball and bb
I would suggest an AirSoft BB gun. Not a Paintball or steel BB gun. Unless you have someone who is familiar with firearms then I would get him a Daisy Buck BB rifle and an adult to teach him the respect and rules of handling the rifle. The "Daisy Buck" is designed as a starter BB rifle for youngsters.
Paint balls. the hurt way more, and the paint its self can do some damage too
No. Firstly you should not be shooting bb guns at each other. Second, you can not play any sort of wargames (paintball, airsoft) in public areas.
You must be 18 to buy bb and paintball gun accessories.
I think you need to rephrase your question. Do you mean Firearm, Air soft, BB gun, Pellet gun or Paintball. It also depends on where you live.
If its a BB Gun, Then Yes.
Paintball hurts MUCH more than airsoft. The reason that Paintball hurts more than Airsoft is because the speed of the paintball is faster and the mass is also larger. Take an Airsoft BB and a paintball and look at the difference in size. Now, when you figure that Paintball markers have much greater speed than an Airsoft gun, you will find that Paintball will and should hurt more.
Air sport guns & rifles are not firearms but they do shoot BB's or Pellets. Most people call them BB guns. It's a general term meaning any gun or rifle that uses air or C02 to fire a projectile like a real firearm, is an "Air Sport Gun." The term can reffer to: BB / Pellet guns Airsoft guns Paintball guns
