Its a Mock Silencer.
Mock = Fake, not a real silencer, it just looks like one.

As they all said its a mock silencer so it doesn't really silence the gun. Also silencers are still illegal. |

Straight from the ATF's FAQ: (A9) Q. Are Paintball and/or Airgun Sound Suppressers legal? [Back] A. §921(a)(24) The terms "firearm silencer" and "firearm muffler" mean any device for silencing, muffling, or diminishing the report of a portable firearm, including any combination of parts, designed or redesigned, and intended for use in assembling or fabricating a firearm silencer or firearm muffler, and any part intended only for use in such assembly or fabrication. Numerous paintball silencers tested by the Firearms Technology Branch have been determined to be, by nature of their design and function, firearm silencers as defined in 18 U.S.C., Section 921(a)(24). An individual wishing to manufacturer a firearm silencer must receive prior approval from ATF by submitting an ATF Form 1 and paying a $200 making tax. If I have any further questions as to this classification, who should I contact? Please send a written request to our Firearms Technology Branch at the following address: Bureau of ATF |

Jus about everyone that knows about silencers/suppressors knows that it wont silence a shot being fired from a paintball marker especially being used on regulated paintball field...but, then again, all paintball fields will not allow such mods to be used on their fields at all. |

silencer's aren't illegal on paintball guns only on firearms. Paintball guns are airguns and do not require an explosion to propell a projectile at a high velocity, so under NO circumstances can a paintball gun be considered a firearm, therefore silencers,suppressors, and mufflers are all legal on any type of airgun.

The only catch is that by producing a silencer for a paintball gun is that it cannot ALSO be used on an actual gun. Take, for example, the link I posted above. It's a barrel threaded to fit an A-5 with the "silencer" built as part of the barrel. Since this COULD silence the report (BANG!) of a gun, it *would* be illegal unless they pay the tax. However, since this barrel would not work on an actual firearm, it can't classify under the supposed tax. The rule there assumes the silencer is an attachment TO the barrel, not PART of the barrel. And, those mock silencers can be easily modded to become an actual one for a paintball gun. Just don't stuff it with cotton or something similar because that doesn't help.

Read Unicorn's post. The BATF considers paintball gun silencers to be the same as firearm silencers. Therefore, they are illegal, unless they are approved and registered. |

According to state laws... and everything else... silencers on any fire arm which includes black powder, pellet guns, air soft, and PAINTBALL. So yes it is illegal the on from paintballgear.com is mock which is fake... just there for the looks. As far as the other one... idk, but silenerces on any fire arm is illegal in most all states, if not all of them.

You need to understand, it doesnt matter if the silencer is a working model or not, it still "not allowed to be used on a regulated woodsball field" and if they were allowed, what would be your 1st reaction when you see someone pointing some kind of gun wit a silencer at you....do you think its an actual firearm attached to it or is it jus another paintball marker....looks can be deceiving.
