Misfeeding isn't as bad as you think. I mean it still can still happen, but it depends on the ammo and marker. For example, while those shaped rounds can occasionally jam (realistic? Yeah. But annoying haha), they won't pop because they did. They're hard than normal paint.
The Rap4 468 rifle (The first picture with the box magazine) has what they call a lok-bolt. Its an anti chop feature that prevents the marker from firing unless the round is fully seated. Basically you have to clear the jam like real steel, without the mess of paintball.
They also have the PTR coming out (Professional Training Rifle) which is designed to operate with those shaped rounds over paintballs. Like real steel, it will function with a closed bolt, function forward assist to clear the jams, the works.
Airsoft will ALWAYS have paintball beat when it comes to cost of entry lol. But paintball mag fed has definitely dropped the cost of play down and its still coming down. Aside from ammo, the gear cost about the same. Most of the guns pictured are in the Three to Four hundred dollar range stock.
