Where can I buy a paintball gun in Ireland?

Paintball markers are classified as firearms under Irish law. That means, in the same way you buy a shotgun or rifle, you must follow the same procedure for a paintball marker.

Hold it right there. Lets take a moment to consider the Irish legislation on Paintball Guns, otherwise known as Markers. Paintball markers are classified as firearms under Irish law.

Furthermore, if found with a marker without the relevant license or authorisation, you will be facing the same penalties as those caught with a firearm. Always speak with your local Garda station before buying or importing a paintball marker. You are unable to buy a paintball market ‘over the counter’ or ‘off the shelf’ in Ireland, and importation requires all the paperwork. Venues must secure their paintball markers with safes and CCTV, and you’ll have to do the same. Factor this into your buying decisions!

Here at gopaintballing.ie, we recommend buying a mask first and attending some open days to try out a few different paintball markers. You will be far more comfortable in your own mask, will meet great people and you’ll make an informed buying decision. You won’t regret it!
