believe someone said something about taking compressed gasses on public transport as being naughty...but..as long as you are sensible and everything is neatly and securely packed away in a bag...and you are old enough to abide by the laws covering air weapons (not that you have to, but it's a good idea)...who is to know what the ferk you have in your bag...don't wear clothes that say " I am a paintball gun wielding maniac" and preferably de-gas your tank (don't want any burst disc related hissings on a crowded train)

its most likely less severe that regulations of taking gear on the plane but i guess if you just keep quiet about whats in the bag then you should be good

Most people outside of the paintball scene will only think Empire and Planet Eclipse are just another clothing/luggage bag maker so they cant exactly ID you as a paintballer and wonder where your gun is

Saying that, I've been through Kings Cross several times in playing jersey and playing pants, at 15 years of age with a bottle pressurised to 2.5k in my bag, and I've never even been asked if I'm going to a fancy dress or something

But doing what you said is probably alot more sensible

AFAIK, it's not the gun that is a problem, it's the Air Cylinder...hell, countless times I have walked through town centres with a rifle or shotgun slip over my shoulder..no guessing at whats in there...except maybe the one time when I was off to Iai-Do...had a Boken and Live blade in a rifle slip...some kid says..."whats in that bag mate?"

"SWORDS....you want to see?" I said, eerily....he didnt want to see

Did you get asked if you were "Looking for a date?" or "All fixed up?", that happens a lot.

I have this mate...likes to party...partied to much and ended up spending teh night sleeping with some homeless people at Kings Cross...he "befriended" a young lady, and took her back to his place the next day...now, he is a nice guy and likes to help out...he phones me and asks if I know where I can get some SMACK!! I'm like..."Excuse me...? Why?"

He explains...knowing my friends weeknesses...I yell down the phone "DO NOT F*CK HER..DO NOT!!!"

And all said no, I dont know where I can lay my hands on some brown...mates eh?

Nah, although it was about 6 in the morning going there, and about 7 coming back, so not incredibly busy times

I used to sit on trains with my fully assembled, gassed up gun sat next to me. But then, I am a total badass....
