Paintball - Legality and common sense.

- Start date
so long as it isn't visable, and de-gassed... sensible stuff like that... then ther's no reason you cant take your marker on the train.
i used to go from leicester to milton keynes on the train every weekend with all my gear; and never got questioned what was in the giant heavy bag.
*edit* bob, you beat me to it *edit*

Reball Legality
Hi,
Didn't want to start a new thread over something that may/may not have already been covered, but can anyone shed some light on the legality of reball, I.E. if i were to practice in my cellar, would I be breaking any laws?
Before anyone says it, I googled it and searched it on here but didn't find anything useful and I thought this would be the best place to post as it is about the legal side of paintball.

Its an apparent grey area as reballs are not fragile and designed to break on imparct. On the other hand there have been/are a number reball places around the country with a couple of Universitys reballing as well as specific centres.
Reballs are designed to be shot at a lower velocity (MAX 220fps) so they act like a more normal paintball and don't hurt (too much) on impact. They do however boumce, alot, so shooting them in an enclosed space wouldn't be a good idea.
Just adding :
a) You mentioned jersey there bob - Isle of Man - Paintball markers are still illegal - There is an agreement between the Isle of Man Constabulary and Brewery Paintball Company as an exception, but othern than that still illegal, no licences, etc, just no-no!
b) According to the EXACT letter of the law, having a paintball gun in public with a ball in the breach, whether or not gassed up, is an offence. Paintball guns come under the classification of airgun under enforceable law, and therefore are considered a firearm, it's just that they're not considered a section 5 (prohibited) firearm unless certain other criteria are met, i've researched this in depth, so happy to answer any police-related questions

Northern Ireland also requires you to have a firearms licence.

In the uk it is illegal for a gun (in our case markers being classed as air rifles) to shoot more than 1 bullet per trigger pull, therefore, all ramping, reactive, full auto modes are illegal in the uk, tho no case has gone up in front of the courts to test this. (this was true from about 3 months ago)
