Dear Learned Members,

I have a query regarding paintball markers. There is a group for paintball players who are planning to attend the World cup Paintball Championship 2017 in Thailand end of this year. this group have been actively participating in many overseas tournaments from the year 2009. until now there were no major challenges in carrying the Paintball equipment along, however in the recent times since there were few notifications in circulation on Paintball guns been included under Firearms act (majorly Arms Rule Notification 2016), in which the provision to licence AirGuns, Imitation Guns, . However there is no such detailed information about import of Paintball marker guns in India.

Can someone please share some detailed insight over the same.

Regards,
