You've basically answered your question. It is possible to get rifle themed paintball guns (the rifle from "Aliens" is popular), but they don't add much except weight. Since the ball are delicate, the ammo has to be top loaded to fall into the chamber. It's basically a combination of physics and practicality. If you're going to run and sprint for a couple miles, weight becomes the enemy.
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoAirsoft has running; weight is still an issue there. I don't see that as an important difference
- lbotos 12y agoFrom what I understand (Paintball player, never airsoft) people who want to play airsoft are usually lumped into the category of "milsim" where it's tactical and basically recreating police/military tactical maneuvers. "Paintball" which you mean as speedball, is a much faster paced and flashier game in the sense that style is definitely a factor in the decisions being made because the field of play is wide open: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4jXOhH_oiU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4jXOhH_oiU
