Going on the underground

[Mello]

hey everyone, i want to head down to the tower paintball walk on but im a bit worried about taking all my gear with me in case i get stopped and searched by the poilce or underground staff.

i just wondered if its ok to carry it around , my air it compleatly empty i will dismantle my marker completley and keep it all covered up.

Just dont want to get into trouble or it taken away from me.

N e advice would be cool

thanks!

(sorry if its in the wrong area )

do what you have already stated and padlock your bag if you can.

or if you cant padlock it just try to blend in and no stand out. I have transport'd kit by trains and tube before with no problems.

we took the train and tube down to freeks from cambridgeshire with no problems just act like you now where your going and dont stick out so you shouldnt be stopped or mugged

And don't use a back pack, especially if you "look a bit foreign"

Try not to stand out, as has been stated, so don't wear a bright jersey on your way there.

Mind you, in London, people have a varied dress sense anyway

you can carry any paintball gear on the underground, can't you?

I used to go on the undergound and trains with my gun assembled and attached on the outside of my NXE backpack. You couldn't see the gun, but the bottle and barrel sock poked out. Would get some looks but never stopped at all. A PGI barrel sock works wonders as they say 'paintball' on them

I've travelled with gear in my rucksack on trains, whilst still wearing my playing trousers. No one batted an eyelid. Frankly no one is likely to know what is in your bag so they'll just assume you are another one of those tourists determined to carry their oversized luggage on the train tube.

If you are going to Tower Paintball you'll be getting off at London Bridge I presume. The only thing you have to worry about there is the crowds. Gets a tad busy at London Bridge. So expect people to walk in to your bag, fall over it, smack their leg on it and give you filthy looks for their own incompetence
