Are Paintball Guns Legal?

By , About.com Guide

Generally speaking, paintball guns are legal. Specific countries, states and cities might have laws regulating paintball guns, but they are generally not considered inherently illegal.

Keep in mind, though, that certain countries have laws about all firearms and airguns that might include paintball guns. Many countries have prohibitions against all fully-automatic guns, including paintball guns that can shoot in full-auto mode.
