paintball for fun ???

[Dean]

im a newbie n iv only been paintballin once but i seem to be obsessed with the sport ever since i heard about it. me and sum friend's have been tryin sum more cost effective, less fun stuff in the local woods with stuff thats not paintball related. this is probably the only thing that we'll b doin at the minute and we dont have alot of money 2 spend so can n e 1 tell me wat a cheap pump marker would b just for this purpose?

also wat do you think about smoke grenades ??

You know that firing paintballs on public land will probably be brought to the attention of the local armed response team.

this might b one of the reason's we might get permission off the local council before hand lol

i still need my question answered

Most reliable pump gun ive come across is the sterling bronze, off the top of my head their about £75. Powerball make em' their website is here. if you don't want to buy from there, keep your eyes on the 'Classifieds' section of this site.
As for smoke grenades....they smell funny and are quite annoing.
Hope this is of some help

I doubt the council are going to let you play ball on public land. After all these things take peoples eyes out. We play in my friends woods and the law is that you need 150ft perimeter between you and any public footpath so your best bet is to join a team, save up some cash and have some serious fun. Or you could try and buy some land off the council which i think is even more unlikely.

what about farmland then u can play on that with permission right?

 

[fordanaldino]

As long as its yours or you get permisson from the owner then i think it should be fine. But remember the perimeter rule. You dont want some old git measuring it to a foot less than it should be and fining you. So safty first kids!

I would most definately not try your luck in your local woods, thats a really bad idea.
If your garden is big enough then it should be alright if you keep the shots low and the noise doesnt bother the neibours.
