ArchieHood 3,692 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 i was led to believe paintball weapons weren't classed as firearms as they fire frangible ammunition which breaks up on contact rather than inflicting a penetrating injury. But it all depends on the power of the weapon.You might be able to find some information here............http://www.ukpsf.com/paintballlaw.asp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
