I know airsoft is huge in Asia, just never thought it really took off in the US. Anyways, it stings like hell

getting hit by a paintball actually hurts more than getting hit by an airsoft BB, and airsoft is rapidly gaining popularity in the US. I play with a lot of ex-paintball guys who've remarked that after playing airsoft, they'll never go back to that, and I'm quoting, "gay *** paintball crap"

I also play with a lot of former and active service members and law enforcement officers who've said airsoft is a much better tactical simulation training than paintball, because number one, it's more accurate and realistic, and two, much less expensive.

I like Airsoft because you don't have to wash the BDU right away, and the rifles are more realistic.

Yeah, me too. But I try to wash it after two or three usings cuz after a while, the stench can give away your position

any good sites to get airsoft in the US?
I think they are harder & harder to bring in from Asia.

Actually you can try Airsoft Express. It's off Bascom; left hand just before the rails before Hamilton going southbound, or right hand just after the rails just after Hamilton going northbound.
