Anyone Know the laws on this? I know for sure even a .22 or .177 pellet
gun is verboten. How about paintball?

The mountains here would be great for adhoc games.

Somehow, I think I will be disappointed by the replies here.

I don't know if they're available to the general public, but when I worked for a chaebol, we went and played paintball all day somewhere in Gyoungi-do.

I don't know much about buying the supplies here, but I do know in my area there is an active foreigner-coordinated paintball event several times a month.

I'm sure there are other groups out there, and if not, you can travel to Gumi if interested (where the Daegu organized events play)

Since last time I checked which was about a year ago, owning a paintball gun was considered illegal unless you are a company that deals with using them as a business. I actually wanted to bring my guns here (tipton 98 custom and a spyder) and I had custom actually tell me they would be confiscated if brought into country. Which sucks considering how much it costs for people to play it here. (known as survival game lol) Im speaking from personal experience from the different places I played.

But if it was available and open for people to buy them, id be down to play games with you, hell even start a foreigner club of paintballers!

Unfortunately, that is what I figured. Don't really want to have to rely on
some low quality, overpriced Korean company. Oh, well. Sparkling.
