Not on paintball guns. They are illegal only on real guns.

No, moron.

Anyway, you would have to check your local/state laws and check what their guidelines are on silencers. Generally, they are frowned upon. If you want quiet, buy a higher end gun. Tippmanns are not ever going to be real stealthy.

Actually, silencers are ILLEGAL on paintball guns also. The only "silencer" thats legal on a paintball gun is porting, and thats because it can't be used to silence the report of a real firearm.

In order to get a LEGAL silencer you need to pay a $200 stamp tax and fill out alot of paperwork.

Actually, modifying a firearm to shoot in a way it wasnt intended isnt exactly legal.

I agree 100% with what the BATF says on this issue. What happens if some psycho gets his hands on a paintball silencer and modifies it for use with a firearm and goes on a shooting rampage with it?
