Hello, I am an avid paintballer (arn't we all?) from Canada. The team I play with is the DeathKorp based in Laval, QC. Our style of play is Mil-Sim (millitary simulation) and we have a few videos on google:

Along with a few galleries on our website: (french only atm but pics are pics:yes: )

The main reason I am posting here is I want to learn more about how the gun ban has affected paintball in Australia; because of the nature of our laws (both derived from the Brit's to a certain point) I believe I can make documents to be a step in front of MY own governement in the eventuality that the canadian liberals (left-leaning ban-it-all's) might be re-elected. Hopefully we can learn many lessons from what happened in Australia and your on-going legal fight to be able to play one of the best sports in the world.

That's it for me, I'm going to do some browsing around but feel free to point me in the right direction for the legalese :) and do some talk about the type of events / style of play that we have in my little corner of the world but I havn't done any speedball in over three years, only mil-sim and rec events.

Have a good day.

We don't really have any gun bans at all. Unless you're referring to the fact that we don't allow any milsim guns into Aust apart from the A5... ?
