why nerf over airsoft or other skirmish sports? what makes it so appealing for you

just a thought i had, what makes nerf so appealing compared to other skirmish sports, eg airsoft, paintball

for me (and quite a lot of people in our country), airsoft and paintball is basically banned in our country/really hard to obtain as a civiallian so nerf is the closest thing we have (and a really low price point, like 80 bucks for a hobby grade blaster)

what are your reasons for playing nerf?
