legal help?

okay, apparently everytime I've been spotted while sniping, the guy who saw me said he only saw me because of my orange tip. I was wondering if it was legal to cover it up while playing or not and, if it is, what's the best way to do that?

In CA I don't have any orange tips on my guns, but they are always in a gun bag! It's fine to have them off while playing, just not in public.

okay, but I don't know how to take mine off. I tried and almost busted my gun.

Psh...
I just put electrical tape over mine.
I've never had somebody ask to see the orange on my gun.

Orange tip required for shipping.
Suggested when transporting the replica to/from field.

I own multiple flash hiders...one blaze orange for transport and one matte black for at the field.
You can get them for as little at $5 at Airsoft GI.

thnx. I just watched a video on how to remove it though.

epic fail (I know breckton just lost the game ). okay, so I pretty much tore up the orange tip trying to get it off like the video said and when I did get it off, there was orange underneath it! I plan on getting the flash hider, but I need a temporary solution to the tip before thursday cause that's when I'll be playing next.

Electrical tape will be your best bet.

You can get black electrical tape pretty cheap at walmart. It's good for all sorts of things.

I keep a roll of electrical tape on my rig at all times and a spare in my bag. It is definitely a good thing to have. Can't tell you how many times I've had to use it.

HA!
Who was the first to say electrical tape?
Who was that? I wonder....

lol ya we killed this question...thread lock is in order.

wait, before you lock it up, how do I cover the front of the barell with electrical tape? you know, the very end?

Take tape
Unwind a little
Stick to muzzle
Wrap around
Cut
Done.

Bada bing, bada boom, and then you learned how to wrap tape around your barrel.

I know how to wrap tape around the barell. I need a way to put it on the front.

Erm.... very carefully?

That doesnt even make sense.

So when the gun is pointing at you, you can't see the orange. Cause if he wraps the tape around the barrel it won't cover the front.

Wrap it around the front end of the barrel with about half the piece of tape hanging over the edge, then fold it down.

Sharpie it. If you try to tape it, you run the risk of blocking your barrel or creating an obstruction in front of it, and then you're f**ked all because you didn't want Johnny MilSim to see the little tiny bit of orange on the front of your barrel.
