lalaland Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 The difference is that I am crap. I have only played a few times and my kits pretty budget too. I can understand that casual players being worried by the thought of someone with their own kit though. Anyone aware of any extremely cheap land for sale (maybe £10 or something ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.blaze Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Paintball sounds good:D I'm hoping to get a RAP4 soon, does anyone know of anyone who's been real action paintballing before? (Using the new M4 replica RAP4 guns rather than the traditional style paintball guns). If so are the guns as nice as they look? If you wanna check them out http://www.rap4.com/os/product_info.php?products_id=894 And for pure grin factor I just found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3695608433 48 balls Per Second Per Barrel Only 8 grand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalaland Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 I wonder if that guy knows that the item he's selling is illegal in the UK due to the new firearms regulations? Does look fun though , imagine taking that to a walk on game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why hes trying to sell it! Now if it was an AIRSOFT minigun, that'd be perfectly legal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.blaze Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 What's the limit for the UK? There is a lower velocity version available. The LE is the new model with higher power. If one wanted obtaining the legal version could easily be modified. They also ship to the UK. And I doubt customs would check the FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalaland Posted September 17, 2004 Author Share Posted September 17, 2004 Owning or using a gun that's classed as illegal under the firearms laws in this country is not a good idea with all this new fuss regarding replicas, air weapons (which paintball guns come under) etc. is a little daft. You could end up in serious trouble and up to five years in prison for having a paintball gun over the legal power limit as daft as it sounds. The US have more relaxed laws than we do, so be careful what you buy and import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steev Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Been tempted to take it up again, & have been looking for toys... Quite liked this as an entry level one, & have always liked the automag. Does anyone know if the Danger Zone store has a decent range? Any second hand stuff? Can't find any online stores this side of the Atlantic either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite liked this as an entry level one, & have always liked the automag. Lookup the viewloader Orion. That's a nice cheap starter gun and you can get them on Ebay for under £40 (£80 in shops). That's what I am currently using and it's a nice marker. There are some excellent reviews of it too on the Paintball Review site. Originally posted by steev Does anyone know if the Danger Zone store has a decent range? Any second hand stuff? Can't find any online stores this side of the Atlantic either... They have a nice selection of paintballs, some guns, parts, pyrotechnics and gas etc. but anything major has to be ordered in aparantly. They were very friendly and helpful when I went there without a clue, so I highly recommend them. They aren't open on Saturdays or Sundays though, so you have to go midweek. There is also Fatbob's if you don't mind the drive to Selby (it's not that far). They have a huge shop and some decent offers on new guns at the moment too. I am going there tomorrow, so will let you know what it's like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legal limits are a very grey area. Work on the assumption that 300fps is the TOP whack limit for the UK, and you wont end up in nick! Youd be surprised WHAT Customs will check out. One airsoft retailer had his entire shipment from Hong Kong seized last year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
