Airsoft is fun and all, but it's a niche market. It's hard to find equipment, the equipment is expensive, and there aren't a lot of fields to play in.

Paintball on the otherhand is widespread. You can find magazines on tactics at any newstand, there are public fields (even free ones) everywhere, the equipment is easy to find (Walmart, Dicks Sporting Goods, etc.) and it is very cheap.

Check out these fields in New Jersey.

This one is very close to where I live and has a ton of good reviews.

Heck, the field even has it's own website and they do rentals.

They have special "role playing" events at this field... check out the upcoming
Tribal Warfare

Here's a listing of

New York fields

I'm thinking we should start off paintball... what do you all think?
