What next nerf guns .Just another example of over policeing to the point of suppresion .It's a joke. This is a game that is not leathal.Yes some type of licencing but to be the same criteria as a firearm.I don't think so.

The current legislation is completely O.T.T.A waste of time and an inconvenience to both legitamate participants of a fun sport and the controlling beaurocrats.Time for change.

This is really stupid. this government is full of idiots. illed rather be shot by a paintball marker 40 times then be shot by a bullet. i know thats it can hurt but that's what safety gear is for! please try and make it legal.

I totally agree with everything Josef pointed out.
I am constantly reminded of the ridiculous amount of red tape that we as Australians are forced to cut through with absurd laws denying us the right to own a non-lethal piece of sporting equipment.

paintball as a sport, is a sport that should be easier to get involved in, i agree with the licensing conditions, however, i do not agree with the restrictions we have on the actual "markers". the 'appearance' law should be abolished, and we should be able to get more "markers" in then we currently can. paintball as a sport teaches many positive things, such as respect, responsibility, safety, and discipline, i feel these are things we should be teaching the youth of this country.....

i agree a paintball gun is ment for shooting at one another for fun and if used smartly theres nothing that can possibly go wrong rather then a normal gun which was designed to kill its intended taget, take for example hunting with guns if your camping out in the bush with a swag and someone 50 plus metres away takes a shot at a roo and they miss theres that chance they can hit you if you playin a game with a paintball gun and you hit a camper they get a bruise and paint splattered!

Get rid of these stupid laws, To get a paintball gun I need a class A licence which entitles me to much deadlier weapons.

I don't agree with everything written here as you can purchase paintball markers that look like real weapons and in some situations it is appearance that matters, e.g. armed robbery - the victim is not to know it is a paintball marker. I think it is right to check who is buying a paintball marker.
The only aspect I would change is the storage element, a Type-I locker would be fine.

you shouldnt have to get a licence but you should need to be at least 16 and you should be allowed to have paintball guns replicating machine guns, assault rifles but they should have an orange thing on the end

yeah he has a point. 1. you wear protective gear. 2. they do this of their own free will.
3. major injures cannot be conceived by paint ball

this law is stupid and unneeded. why allow people to buy a full-blown weapon and not a paint-ball marker. the gun is used to kill. the paint-ball marker is used for recreation. try thinking for once!

I believe that NSW is misguided in their weaponry definions. This is a sport, played safely, noone has ever died, to date. Where as in rugby and some other games that Australia represents can be fatal, for example, there is a large risk that NRL players may be crushed enough to break their necks, however, in paintball, noone jumps on you to stop you from scoring, they shoot you with little paint filled balls instead of large bone filled fists, enough to cause a coma.

Agreed. I mean, if you need a full license to acquire a paintball gun, I think the person owning the license would by that time prefer a real gun to a fake one. The age restriction should be lowered to 16 due to getting a juniors should make you qualified due to you know how to handle and shoot a gun. A paintball gun is not a deadly weapon, and should be able to own.
