I have just been reading a few of your posts. In Australia we have to have a licence for paintball markers, they wont allow Markers in Victoria, Tasmainia or Western Australia! The main reason for this is some knobend in Tassie decided to run rampent with a semi auto ( real gun ) and did what your Postal workers do killing 20 odd ppl.
So our Pollies decided in their wisdom to BAN all semi auto's.( it was almost going to be all guns!)
Luck has it that Polititions know jack-a-roo about Paintball. But that doesn't stop Customs barking like a big red roo when ever they see an Angel arriving into the Country.
we also need to have a gun licence to own a Marker.
If we want to play a tourney in New South Wales (the state that Sydney is in 4 those who dont know where N.S.W is)(I live in Queensland 12 hours drive north) We have to get a Gun dealer to transport the guns to a dealer in N.S.W b4 the tourney. there is a bloody good chance that they will loose them scratch or generally no take care of them.
So Next time you guys play interstate in the U.S think of Knackers over here in Aussie packing his Mag neatly into a foam filled case along with his $200 Smart parts barrel, just so that some piss-ant Dealer in N.S.W can start pulling the thing to bits to see how it all works cos he has never seen one b4.
