Combat Airsoft has a paintball site on the grounds, and a much larger dedicated airsoft area. The only time you’ll bump into paintballers is in the car park or getting lunch!
It's not about whether you'll interact with paintballers. It's more about the mentality of the people running the events and games, how they set up cover etc.
My experiences of these types of sites is it rarely seems to make for a good day and that is including experience (albeit limited) of this site. They just don't seem to flow in the same way, game rules, game scenarios etc are generally set for a paintballers mentality. The difference is hard to spot or explain clearly, it's just something I've noticed.
Watch out, you might be interacting with paintballers and not realise
Paintball and airsoft are the same thing - shooting people legally
But airsoft is the dressing up version with realistic guns, as opposed to the realistic dressing up versions of paintball with realistic guns
Different people play different things in different ways - but generally just do what they enjoy
Back to the topic of sites that may run both paintball and airsoft.
Thats a good thing, it’s even better if they do more such as laser tag, low impact paintball, perhaps Nerf, clay pigeon, quads. You might find all the gates locked and some funny looking blacked out windows nipping in
A site that does one thing is at risk, even if they do it well they are missing out on other revenue that can enhance revenue
Airsoft management should be capable of managing paintball players and Vice versa.
Dickhead management are dickheads no matter their preferred flavour
There are differences between paintball players and airsoft players - but that is equally the same between airsoft players and airsoft players
