    About Shatnerball......

    Just a quick question. I am thinking about going and was wondering if I flew there how I would get my gun there. Won't the airlines have a hissy fit or something about it? Also what if they were to lose it, wouldn't I just be very screwed? Another thing, can you bring your own paint there? Thanks for the help.

    Don't let people make fun of your gun. It just means they aren't good enough to own it.

    pack your gun and tank in a protective case, with a lock. make sure the valve on your tank is open. call the airlines ahead of time and let them know that you are bringing a pb gun to be transported on the plane. they shouldn't have a problem with it, and you should be able to check it with your other baggage.

      Call it a "Paintball Marker". The word gun will raise that little flag and they will really give it a good looking over. Also, make sure you get there early and have a backup plan such as having it shipped to the hotel or a place like Mailboxes Etc(thats what I am going to do). Do not try to take a full tank or ANY paintballs.

                First of all, I would most definately tell them it is a paintball gun. In this day and age there is no reason to play with semantics when dealing with airline scurity.

                Secondly, I would strip the gun down completely so that even paintball illiterate people can can see it poses no threat as a weapon. I routinely break my gun down like this when I am transporting it for long trips. If you for some crazy reason get pulled over and searched, the last thing you want is a cop to see a "gun" on your person or in your vehicle.

                Lastly, empty your tanks and leave the valves open. Carrying empty cylinders on the plane should be no problem.

                P.S. Though I don't know for sure, I doubt that you can bring your own paint.

                P.P.S You can get all the info on this game at www.spplat.com - and an AO Roster is located at Shatnerball Roster...
