Forgot to declare paintball guns
In checked luggage. Hand gun and rifle. Any issues?

You don't have to declare toys. Compressed air is a no no.

That said expect that the TSA will have riffled through your rifle gunning for the next big catch :-).

As such, inspect your bag very carefully when you pick it up - I would suggest doing so immediately while at the airport if possible.

YES. Please don't. I didnot think much about checking the luggage at the airport itself until I read this post and realized how quickly things would go for the OP.
