I couldn't find any clarifying info on this.

Are there laws/restrictions in NJ pertaining to "realistic looking" paintball guns (a/k/a paintball markers - yes I know that is the proper term LOL).

For example, I am talking about something that looks like an AR-15, but is just a paintball gun...

Thanks!

There are not. I sold thousands.

There is one law. One can be arrested for having an imitation firearm if it is used in an offense where the victim believes it to be a real firearm.

Ok thanks guys!

Now I just wonder if there are paintball ranges that might not like someone carrying around something that looks just like an AR or an AK...

Don't they usually come with an orange tip on the barrel to make the distinction?

Sounds like a BS law. So if you if you wave a garden tool and some half blind person "believes" it to be a real firearm you can be arrested? That does not even pass the smell test. I think the laws in this state are created by the brain dead. Doesn't it even have to pass the reasonable man test?

You would be surprised how many people use imitation firearms in crimes.

I play competition paintball (not in the woods but on open feilds with bunkers) I have been sponsored by alot of stores around NJ/Boston area and they also have woods/scenario feilds and have guys/girls carrying some really realistic looking "markers" and no its not illegal at all and yes they do like it...biz is biz no matter if you have a flashy red gun or a blacked out looking AR gun and NO orange or yellow tip is required thats only for airsoft.

Hey 2anj, I used to own ejam and played PSP, GPL, nppl, and some others. What do you play? Which division? I never got above D2.

 

Might be banging around GPL this year, but just 3 man.

AH I played Ejams a few times...i played for Paintball Authority and TopGun, OXCC and Boston Paintball. I play now for Avalanche.

oh word? damn.

oh word? damn.

Yea...skipping HB and who knows if there will be an NPPL after this event...but getting back into PSP with a team I play with here and there.

You would also be surprised to learn that there was a bill proposed around this time last year that would have reclassified AIRSOFT guns as firearms.

This is how dumb they are.

Plenty of AR looking ones on the field. I used to play at speed ball at Top Gun, Fireball Mtn, Cousins and On Target long ago. I traded a beat up AK I shot about 4k rounds thru for a new shocker and impulse in 99. Then came the Angel and Auto Cocker. 9-11 was the end of it for me. 300 days a year for a few years in the sandbox didn't leave much play time. The old Sam's Club in Delran would make an awesome indoor place. It's been sitting empty for over 10 years.
