You can - however don't use it as a way to buy cheaper.
You would have to pay the purchase price, plus international postage.
After that while in transit it passes through customs, they assess for duty (same as VAT for paintball gear), the courier handles duty for you so you get another bill for 20% of the assessed value plus a handling fee between £8 and £20
If they dont like the look of it (deciding it looks a bit like a gun - RIF) then you get a VCRA questionairre and have to justify the import, and paintball does not count
.
(Speedball type guns are fine, realistic ones are not fine, pistols probably not fine, Tippmanns, BTs etc have been stopped by voer eager customs men) If you don't clear this then it may be destroyed and you lose everything, or it may be returned and at best you get the original price back
To sumarise - don't bother to save money because you have seen the price difference between UK & US
Do bother if it is something special and worth paying extra on top
Dont attempt it if it could possibly be considered a RIF
