NERF guns come with limited ammo and limited range. You need to get within 30 feet to have a good chance of hitting your target, and if you miss with two or three rounds you're probably going to get plugged. It's a lot more dodge/parry, as opposed to hiding behind terrain and running like hell from safe spot to safe spot. You have to be careful with your shots and make sure you don't get caught reloading. Plus different "guns" offer different tactical advantages, as opposed to everybody having the same weapon.
All these things are things I like.
Plus, remember, I'm pretty and fragile. Paintballs don't like me very much.
There is actually plenty of dodging in paintball. Snap shooting is a pretty huge skill and pretty much consists entirely of quickly popping out, shooting once or twice and tucking back in. It's often the deciding factor in matches where positions get locked down.
I wouldn't say that paintball is hiding and running from safe spot to safe spot. If you are hiding you aren't really contributing to your team, your not giving cover to your team mates or having eyes on the field. You generally don't run to safe spots, you try to find openings to advance aggressively up the field to get angle shots on your opponents.
Getting caught reloading is an issue in paintball too. :P The gun thing I will concede.
I'm not trying to argue that paintball is better or anything, I think they are different, but I think your claims that nerf requires more athleticism and accuracy is erroneous in nature. I think both games reward you quite a lot for having both of those abilities.
Put it this way: NERF requires different kinds of skill, both in terms of athleticism and accuracy, than does paintball, although the NERF community itself is full of megadicks who I wouldn't be caught dead with. I don't/wouldn't play with anyone who was just running around like a dipshit on their own without using strategy and teamwork, or who modded their gun to the point where you might as well be chucking lawn darts.
It requires you to be quick and clever, since you can see shots in the air and actually dodge them if you're good/careful. It requires careful aim, not just in terms of where you point, but when you fire and how you coordinate that with your teammates and manage your ammunition. I can track a moving target at 30 feet with my Vulcan, which has a 25-round belt and fires three darts per second. But if you're smart, and fast, I'm not going to hit you unaided unless I'm really careful. What I can do is point my gun at you and dodge your shots and let my friend with a Recon flank you and nail you without me having to fire a single round.
What makes NERF so much more appealing, to me, is the fact that you do have to get close and you can't trust your weapon to be perfectly accurate. And your choice of weapon itself becomes an important strategic decision, which is just awesome. You can run around with twin Mavericks and think you look all badass, but that means you get two shots and zero free hands to ready a third round. I actually like my Recon better than my Vulcan, because it's more flexible. But if I don't use it then you can be sure I want my teammate to take it, because it's an important defensive asset. You can quite literally create a little machine gun nest with it, with one person loading/feeding the belt and one person firing. And how would I take that out? With my "grenades" (mini-NERF footballs) of course, because I can lob them at a high arc and throwing two or three in quick succession makes everybody scatter.

Flew away in a balloon
Had sex with polar bears
While sitting in a reclining chair
Now there are Zim-Bear hybrids
Running around and clawing eyelids
Watch out, a Zim-Bear is about to have sex with yooooooou!
People need to stop being surprised about me. I'm fucking magic.
Would you have lost hella more if you hadn't been eating foods made of pure death?
I did eat other foods. Mostly various heavy pasta dishes. Veggie lasagna when I felt like I needed a vitamin or two. But no, I wouldn't have. Weight is lost by reducing calories. Doesn't matter if the food is crap or the food is super healthy.
Next time, leave a sticky note on your food. It should read something like: "This is my food. Do not eat it unless you wish to have a knuckle sandwich on the side."
It wouldn't hurt to include an artistic rendering of your beefy arms, either

I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.

My arms aren't so beefy. Would it be acceptable- would you be upset is what I'm asking, I guess- if I were to implement this plan but draw your beefy arms, instead?

Didn't you just say a few pages ago your family was really into martial arts instructions?

My arms are only beefy in a "meat-cow" kind of way.

Then that greedy bastard ate it all by himself.
Little did God know that when Adam and Eve ate the apple they learned how to make pizza, so when he banished them to the earth they brought his sacred recipe with them and mankind learned the taste of the divine meal.
How does that work?
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
I would generally only eat 500-600 calories before I got home, and would then eat 800 calories of pizza and a 200 calorie ice cream bar.
Also walking for an hour every night helped.
He mixes them all together in a blender and eats it with a spoon, the girl thinks he's gross and leaves, he loses 120 pounds
It is delicious slop.
You're slop.
Yes.
I lost hella weight that way.

I'm definitely a sloppy drunk.

I think I'm the only person to have lost weight during my freshman year, rather than gain the proverbial 20#. And I didn't do shit to lose weight.
I dunno, but NERF has swords now.
I want them.
Badly.
My arms aren't so beefy. Would it be acceptable- would you be upset is what I'm asking, I guess- if I were to implement this plan but draw your beefy arms, instead?
Wouldn't they just be funoodles with handles?
I only lost weight after I started paying for my own food, and was in a situation to not have anyone else offer me food.
I pretty much take offers of food from other people as a threat and react accordingly.
Didn't you just say a few pages ago your family was really into martial arts instructions?
Maybe you should draw a few diagrams.
My Israeli family. My American family is full of out of shape, pansy ass bad Catholics. :P
You play stock too?
Awesome on a possum.
My arms are only beefy in a "meat-cow" kind of way.
Well, surely you have rockin' legs, right?
You have two families?
Why?
There are other kinds of Catholics? I mean, I'm not obese but I'm definitely not in shape.
Because, if he doesn't lift, he don't get to lift, if you know what I'm sayin'.
And you know what I'm sayin'.
He...doesn't get to ride the English elevators?
