Any upgrade board is fine - F/A isn't proven to be illegal for Paintball guns in the UK yet.
Anyone who says different is lying.

yeah, if its for sale its legal.

Said modes may not be "tournament legal" or "site legal" however.

Spend away young sir

With the ion you have the "Blackheart" "Virtue" and "Lucky" Boards, also some more ive probably missed.

urban myth mate, made to scare young kids.

Like "milk feels pain" and "Try some veg, you might like it" .

As long as the mode isnt being used then the board is legal, if you have semi auto set and the tounement lock on, then theres no way to cheat and therefor you may have the ability to use full auto on the board, but you wont be using it.

Listen my young friend...as a person who knows one or two things regarding the law and firearms.

It is illegal for a FIREARM to be capable of Fully Auto Matic fire, as covered by section 5 of the Firearms Act.

It is illegal for any FIREARM, to be capable of Semi Automatic Fire, except for those in the 22LR Calibre.

Fire an AIRGUN, to be deemed as a FIREARM, it must be found to be producing more than 12Ftlbs of muzszle energy.

Also...I dont think that a paintball gun, is classified as firing a Lethal Projectile (as airguns are), and are therfore not classified at this time.

Further more, in the recent amendments, it clearly states that " guns used in Wargames and similar, that fire balls of paint, are not deemed to be lethal and therefore should not be considered as Firearms" or words to that effect.

So go buy stuff...I recommend Virtue.
