12 foot pounds for a rifle, 6 foot pounds for a pistol.

Make sure you have a magazine like Paintball UK with the marker as you go through customs

Forgive me for asking but why the magazine? And please don't say so they don't get it confused with a real gun??

That is correct, so they don't get confused with a real gun.

Remember you or I can spot a paintball gun a mile off, others can't. What if the marker is an A5. Better to be safe with a magazine to show them.

The alternative is to wait a couple of hours until they find someone who is competent who know's you have a paintball marker.

Unless of yourse you would like to spend a couple of hours in a room, with a hairy lady wearing a rubber glove!!

hey, thx for the info it helped

unfortunately i wasnt actually with the marker at the time cos i got it shipped over so i didnt get a chance to get her number stodp srry :P

customs charged me 20 quid for something, dont ask me wat cos they were told a day in advance wat it was and the velocity of it. customs, you just have to love 'em!
