Paintball Equipment

Transporting Paintball Equipment

You cannot bring markers (aka Paintball Guns) in your carry-on luggage. Pack them in your checked baggage.  We do not consider paintball guns to be firearms and you can pack them in unlocked, soft or hard sided luggage.

Please also read our section on compressed gas cylinders for more information. Traveling with compressed gas cylinders.

Please note: Many of the seals/regulators used in paintball are not designed for the end user to remove from their cylinders.  Only a factory trained technician should remove or reinstall the seal/regulator.

You cannot bring paintball guns in your carry-on luggage. Pack them in your checked baggage.

If you are considering air travel with a compressed air or CO2 system, you should contact the manufacturer of the system for help finding a qualified technician.  You should also consider having a parcel service ship the system to your destination.
