Update on the use and ownership of Paintball markers.

Since our statement on 19th January 2024 and subsequent update on 24th January 2024, we have had a lot of UKPSF members bring up certain aspects of the law. As we are not experts in firearms legislation and do not claim to be, we decided to get further advice from a firearms barrister to seek further clarification on the questions raised. We had tried to keep the advice/guidance simple, which may have left some room for interpretation. So, we are updating our advice as follows: Our core statement is still correct but for clarity will now be a little longer. The following is based on Home Office guidance and advice.  ‘Paintball Markers of any size can only be purchased by those over 18 for use in permitted activities such as skirmishing and re-enactment at a venue where suitable third-party liability insurance is in place.

UKPSF (Virtual) AGM 2021

As part of the UKPSF constitution we are required to hold an annual AGM where we update members on any progress from the previous year. Historically we have linked this with a conference and trade show, but due to the ongoing carnage caused by Covid-19 this is obviously not going to be possible.

That said, there is nothing stopping us from doing this virtually, as we are really keen to let the membership know how things are going. 

Therefore, the current plan is to host a Livestream on Thursday the 25th of February starting at 7 pm, scheduled to last for approx. 1 – 1 ½ hours, if there is sufficient interest, so if you would like the UKPSF to host this live stream please drop us a quick email reply to the email we have sent you already, so we know player members want this to go ahead.

If the live stream does go ahead, we want to give the player membership an opportunity to ask us some questions. As I am sure you can appreciate its just not feasible to have an open Q & A with over 800 members so we are inviting questions to be emailed in prior to the livestream. Please do not post them here! Please reply to the email you will have recieved in your in box. 

The committee will then pick a selection of the best of those summited for a response on the steam. Deadline is the 19th of February.

We hope you can join us then.

Regards

Don Logan 

Chairman of the UKPSF
