i dont think paintballers like us much. i was listening to one bash airsoft the other day. mostly complaining about people not being honest when they get shot. bitch bitch bitch. its not a sport its a game. dont take it so damn seriously.
by the way a place called killer paintball on middlebelt between 8 and 9 mile has a limited airsoft collection. mostly springers, but they had 1 gas handgun. easy place to get bbs and gas if you need em.

Nice to know some other places than Battlegrounds and Wolverine Supply carry Airsoft gear, even if in small quantities. I actually don't know what paintballers think of us, I played at the big fields (Hell Survivors Inc. and Futureball) for two years, and just left after realizing that paintball was too expensive and didn't have the military aspect that I wanted. Most new players and former paintballers (me included) didn't understand the elimination system at first and how you really have to be honest, but now I really like it more than paintball in some ways, i.e. trusting certain guys to call hits can earn a lot of respect from players. Oh well, paintball and Airsoft are completely different and I, for one, am just going to live with it.

Not to mention the added bonus of owning high quality replica guns

Yeah I know the guys at both Battlegrounds and at Killer. They are nice guys and are interested in getting more stuff...but they never will. They will never get any high quality Airsoft equipment. Nice place for cheap gas though

I think that there are more paintball-hating airsofters than airsoft-hating paintballers. When me and Luke took airsoft guns to paintball events, every one was interested in firing them.
