are paintball guns/markers considered weapons in NJ? do you need a permit? silly question i supposed, but we all know why i ask... this is new jersey...

Nope - the .68 caliber paintball size excludes it.

Legal... A 12 year old can buy the paintballs or ammo, I.have one that shoots through water jugs, almost positive it can cause serious bodily injury.... But yeah, there legal and if u are safe and don't screw with them.they are a lot of fun.

i have one from before i moved here, but never played while in new jersey

Both Paintball and Airsoft (6mm-8mm plastic BB's) are both legal. The pellet guns (.177 cal) are weapons requiring FID or pistol permit.

i used to have a Desert Eagle type pistol that shot BB's and Pellets, that thing was sweet.

I got a Red Rider BB gun for Christmas one year. Loved that thing. Wonder if I still have it around here?
