flying with paintball kit?

[Phobia]

just wondered what you had to do when flying in and out the country with markers and air tanks ect...
obviously you've got to declare its in your luggage beforehand, but i wondered whether it just came under sporting goods and therefore no hassle... or whether you needed to fill out paperwork or something similar?

Here we go again! LOL.

DO NOT DECLARE ANYTHING! You are not carrying anything illegal as long as the gun is dismantled and there is no air in the tank.

Put your kit in your hold luggage and NO KIT in your hand luggage and you'll be fine. Put a paintball magazine such as PGI on top of the bag in case anyone decides to have look in.

DO NOT DECLARE ANYTHING! DO NOT MENTION PAINTBALL! DO NO MENTION GUNS OR AIR TANKS!

Some countries are a little tricky, but most are fine. Where you flying to and from, and what airline.

It all depends on airline. But like Syd says, never tell them

If you tell the lady at the counter your Robbo then she might upgrade you for free though.
