Nah. Paintballs go farther because they have more forward force as they are bigger which carries them farther. They are also more accurate because they are not affected by the wind/elements again because they are bigger and harder to effect But thats only if it is not a perfectly calm day, then airsoft will probably be more accurate as they have hop up.

 

Great guide though!

Paintballs are notoriously innacurate. The more expensive the brand, and the more expensive your gun, the more accurate they are, but they're still unreliable. Plus, paintballs will break in your barrel, getting so much spin on them that they almost seem to curve in a circle and hit you in the back. Or land thirty feet away from where you're shooting.

 

Paintballs are still heavily affected by wind. Wind makes them curve, rather than strafe as BBs do. Plus, paintball barrels are not as tight as airsoft barrels are.

 

Also, paintball guns shoot 300 FPS as an utter maximum. It's generally around 260-290.

Hop up does not increase accuracy, but range.

 

Get your facts right.

Because hop up is adjustable, can't it make the flight of the BB more stable and therefore more accurate.
