UK Firearm Law - Update

  UKPSF Statement on Recent Firearms Legislation Changes The UKPSF works hard to keep up to date with changes to UK legislation that may affect the paintball industry and our members. As we have stated previously, however, we are not lawyers, and firearms legislation can contain complex legal nuances and interpretations. To ensure that the guidance we provide remains accurate, the UKPSF has once again sought advice from the firearms barrister we use. We have received an increasing number of requests from police forces and local authorities for information relating to incidents involving so-called “Novel Systems”, a category that can include paintball markers. Firearms legislation has changed three times this year, and the UKPSF has worked to keep abreast of each of these changes. We have therefore asked our firearms barrister to review the latest amendments and confirm that the UKPSF’s core statement remains accurate and up to date. The three key points 1.   ...

UKPSF Team Spotlight - Mayhem Tigers

 

The UKPSF Spotlight now shines onto a team that have been part of the fabric of UK Paintball for a Loooong time, Thanks for your support...


Alan Smith let us know a little about the Mayhem Tigers:


The Mayhem Tigers are one of the longest running teams in paintball history, first formed as the Mayhem factory team in 1986 by Steve Baldwin. Over the years the team has evolved with the game, playing across all formats from its woodsball origins to full xball and everything in between, competing at the Pro level internationally, the squad has featured many well known names and faces over the years.

 

At the end of 2003 the team name changed to the London Tigers as the nature and mainstream image of pro paintball was changing. Over the years the team has competed against the very best in the sport in the UK and internationally. Including legendary teams like Dynasty and Russian Legion. 

 

In 2019 the lure of playing Joy Division at the GCC was too strong and we relaunched the Mayhem name to compete in ‘open’ 10 man cross format events. International open events are what made paintball great and gives an easier route for new players in to competitive paintball. We had lots of help to relaunch the team and send a huge thank you out to Mayhem Paintball, Planet Eclipse, Inception Designs, GI Sportz and Anthrax Paintball for all their help and support.



2020 has seen the squad grow to two 10 man teams that blends youth and experience, sup air and woodsballers. The team won the Open division at the ECPL, our first 10 man tournament since reforming as well as the Hyperball 6 man Covid cup. As the team gets more playing time together we are confident we can get back on the Pro podium again. The growth of classic and mixed format events is good news and is helping to bring new players in to the game and encouraging some of the old guard to dust off their kit. 

We are 100% behind the UKPSF and support the amazing work they have done over the years to protect Paintball for all of us. Being a member is a no brainer. We should work together to better represent and grow the game we all love.
