The airsoft is cheaper to shoot I believe, and you can shoot it in your basement or maybe in your back yard. There are tons of options on guns and you can get pretty crazy. So far I like it if you want to see some in action you can look up action air ipsc it’s popular in countries were you can’t shoot or own real guns. I also think in cold climates it might be an option to shoot a stage with friends in a garage for fun. I’m running propane in mine it’s a little stinky if you shoot indoors
