Amtrak Classifies Paintball Markers as Firearms in U.S
As of tomorrow the 15th December U.S Railroad operator Amtrak allows unloaded firearms to be transported on train if pre checked and given at least 24h notice to Amtrak before departure. Requiring firearms to be transported in locked hard-boxes and pre checked sounds reasonable but now both paintball markers and airsoft markers get the same treatment and classification. Sure Amtrak doesn’t have luggage checks when you board so you can carry your gear if you want but what happens if an official decides to check your bag and follow the issue to the letter?
Once again we see how paintball equipment gets thrown in the same bunch as firearms. Even if Amtrak won’t pursue its customers with paintball markers its something that can easily carry ow-er to other similar circumstances and regulations.
You can find full Amtrak press release here or keep reading below.

Millennium Paris web video collection
We’ve stumbled upon a wealth of videos of the Paris event, it seems that there were plenty of keen videographers at the event – nice, since the games on the layout were fast-paced and a lot of fun to watch. We decided to share them for your Friday entertainment while waiting for the proper write-up of our trip to Paris. Check them out, and subscribe to the channels they’re from, good stuff!
First report from Bitburg
I just got a report from Bitburg so here goes…
The third game of Malaga was played this morning against Empire Venice. As expected it was a tight one. Cyclone managed to score the first points taking the game to 2-0 but after regrouping the Empire boys tied the game to 2-2 plus took the next point to 2-3. Cyclone tied the game again to 3-3. Empire managed to get a great break to the last point and took the win 3-4.
It seems that our guys are going to have game packed weekend since although they lost their game they’re still going to go through to the “Sunday club”. The Malaga tournament had so few teams that actually got there that an extra 6 teams go through to the last 16. Cyclone is one of them and their next game is against FiveStar Lleida. After that they’ll start the Bitburg tournament and play against FiveStar Lleida again but this time on a different field.
Tomorrows opponents are going to be the Danish Copenhagen Synergy and Dogs D Amour Thessaloniki from Greece.
Uppsala Recap
Ok, a busy week so it took a bit longer to get this done, sorry. Playing in Sweden always feels like a second home with so many friendly faces from over the years, and this time was no different. Overall, a super event. We started our trip straight from work on Friday driving to Turku to catch the late ferry to Sweden. A bit of poor sleep, and we could enjoy a buffet-style breakfast on the boat before it arrived to Stockholm at 6.30 in the morning. The only problem with that was that the captains’ meeting in Uppsala was scheduled at 7 am.. Luckily, with the trusty GPS and the grreat Swedish road system, we arrived on the venue at 7.45 am, a hefty 15 minutes before the scheduled start of the games. Nice.
Playing with the Big Boys
It’s again time to start packing the good old Explorer and prepare for a tournament weekend, as we have done so many times before. Most of us have seen countless tournaments on various levels of competition in Finland, Scandinavia and elsewhere in Europe. A handful of us have even made the trip across the great water to play the official PSP Race-to format. Still, when the opportunity to participate in the Paintball Swedish Masters in Uppsala, we took it in a heartbeat. The Open division offers a team list that is something like playing a round of golf with Tiger Woods..
Malaga report: The long way home..
It might seem that this report is late on arrival but I assure you it is not. Because of Pinatubo2 in Iceland our players have been arriving home during the weekend almost a week later then scheduled. Here’s what happened:
Chilli Peppers Malaga Travel Story
As flight got canceled trough most of Europe allot of teams and players missed Malaga. CPL team Chilli Peppers had their connecting flight trough Copenhagen where they got stuck when air space closed down. Chilli Peppers decided no matter what to get to Malaga if they just wouldn’t have to do it by walking. Continue reading ‘Chilli Peppers Malaga Travel Story’ »

Antalya pre-tournament report with pics!
The First guys from Cyclone arrived at the Antalya airport on wednesday evening, continuing with a pre-aranged taxi to the south of Kemer, where the venue is located. Upon arrival to the hotel we met a very nice Russian photographer, and we had a pleasant time getting to know each other in the traditional slavic hospitality..
