G’day ….this is another paintball update, so as always, if not interested please feel free to look elsewhere 🙂
The ACT Firearms amendments passed last night, including three paintball specific provisions:
1. The approval of personal ownership of markers in the ACT.
2. The recognition of interstate/international ownership eg you can take your martker to NSW and vice versa.
3. The participation age has been reduced to 16.
Now, I don’t know the final wording yet or any conditions attached to the above, but it is a step in the right direction!
I will post updates at when I have them, for those interested!
We will look at having a ‘gala’ day with demonstrations etc some time soon!
cheers, Kieran

ant051 – talk to kieranap on this site, hes down southside, or theres a field at piallago which is reasonble.
Every 6 months or so Im involved in a game so I’ll post something closer to when we are going to play (definetly not the season at the moment to be playing).
New to this..been playing rec paintball for a while and keen on getting into it a bit more, so i’d be up for a day on the fields if anyone is looking on making up numbers or putting a day together.
Nah, they just like to hide in the bushes and ‘spray’ members of the other ‘team’.

Had crap for dinner vg?
2 in one. Aim for the head, fire, out comes the moron.
Sorry, should have said ‘spray’.
Flappy talk, keep talkin’ flappy talk,
Talk about things you’d like to do.
You got to have a dream,
If you don’t have a dream,
How you gonna have a dream come true?
kapow kapow, flap flap flap.
You’ve been out of water for a very long time now WMD – flap flap flap you stupid little fish.
I played indoor paintball in Canada (think laser tag with paintball guns, I mean markers…).
Any chance of that happening here?
I’m keen if it doesnt clash, only played the one time at outer Gungahlin.
Never said I didn’t, Maelinar. I just pick good targets.
Jakez, when it warms up we’ll let you know when we are next painting. – same comment goes for Jazz.
Since the last paintball session I organised was undersubscribed, we’ll limit the attendance to people who have paid deposits beforehand. I can guarantee the RA Admins will meet somebody that they all know, but has not ever posted on this site – a keen paintballer though.
Otherwise, as Thumps said, when it gets warmer we will send around a relevant email.
P.S. Katy, Simon and Jon, you play for free. Come meet some constituents.
Great job admitting you fire missiles deekhead. Welcome to the mouse-trap.
Great job ignoring my missile. Best not get involved when you haven’t the brains to reply 😉
Wow, somebody’s missle must have been a dud, on account of its still on the ignore list…
@bigfoot – gratz.
@admins – is there a rank above protagonist ?
and btw Thumper for Admin.
and Che, don’t forget I respekt you, and so should everybody else. I’ve just not been quick enough on the dial to get in on time.
Jakez, when it warms up we’ll let you know when we are next painting.
Cool, I can get a decent gat…
Wow, I moved from Newbie to Troublemaker.
How exciting…….
I cracking a bottle of shiraz to celebrate.

use green and think that you “killed”them underwater….
What? I can’t call it a gun? I can’t say I am shooting at someone? I can’t make fun of the person I shot by saying I totally wasted them? There is no more red dye, simulating blood?
Where has all the fun gone?

ok, what if we say we are going to pepper some poor sod until they look like a leopard at the gym / exercise / summer with all the bruises?
The comment about 16-year olds is that the entry age is 16, not 18. 16-year olds seem to have far more violent tendencies than older people, or at least they think so.
I personally have found that the only people who shouldn’t participate in paintball are the ones that don’t listen to the rules – getting to line up and blast them after they are caught lifting or removing their helmet / mask “in play” is very satisfactory….
then again, I just look for a handy vantage point and save my paint projectiles by picking people off one by one, must be the reason I don’t play much anymore….
