Lol its legal as long as all projectiles are kept within your land and you are not making excessive noise. When I first got my DM4 I opened it up on a bin and the neighbours called the old bill round, who then had them done for wasting police time
don't you just love the british justice system
i got the old bill called to my house so i told him the case of its in my property and the noise is during the day between 12-5 all paintballs have no chance in penetrating a fence to my left another fence to my right and a thick as george w bush hedge to the back of my garden and all paintballs are shot into a traffic cone that was stolen from a construction site that was filled with abit of mud and sum black bags so there was no chance of even dirtying my own garden nevermind the neighbours. i even pointed out that the markers run below 300 fps and the paintballs are all biodegradable and non enviroment harming and so on
the donut eating officers answer was
well its been complained about and one of your "bullets" as he says has hit a neighbouring house which in my defence i know is not true because its almost impossible to hit a neighbour because 1 the above mentioned reason and 2 i shoot away from the neighbours and into confined area of which nothing i mean nothing could get through unless it was 12 foot tall and had enough power to unroot 50 year old conifers and he started goin on about its a classified firearm and armed police could come round one day after a complaint or 999 call and see you shooting and if you turned around pointing your gun towards them you will be shot by the armed police
my answer
officer this so called weapon runs under 300 fps therefore its not classified as a firearm(this is wat i believed at the time and someone please correct me if im wrong cos i dont want 18 9mm mp5 bullets in my chest ruining my lovely jersey)
officers answer
