well..if ur looking for a small tool kit...you can always use a small tacal box for fishing lures. i use em and it's pretty good. i'm sure im not the first person to do this though

[Alted4]

As far as the tackle box goes, I use a clear plastic tool box with little dividers in it. They were right next to the tackle boxes in Walmart and the one I got was 4 bucks.

[JerryTX]

Yeah, I keep all my o-rings and parts in one of those clear $4 tackle boxes.

[mikebarr]

all of these are great but we need to keep them comming.. i had a great one but i forgot it and will edit this once i remember

just a tip for anyone looking to make a speed feed using a tennis ball lid be sure to measure the spacing first. if you don't you will lose paint. alot of it.

Old used carpet makes great paintball bunkers. Just stretch it up between two trees or wrap it around three or more trees and nail it in place. Carpet will last a good long time and a paintball won't penetrate it. You can easily cut it with a box knife so you can cut it to the size you need or add windows. We put up alot of bunkers in no time. We've been using carpet for years. Check the dumpster behind your local carpet store for lots of free bunkers. lol.

Yeah this actually sounds like a great idea.. i know i used an old thick tarp and used a sledgehammer to hit posts into the ground then zip tied the tarp around it worked like flat airball bunkers lol

I made a gun stand that held 4 guns side-by-side by drilling a couple 1 inch holes in a scrap 4 x 4, near the edge of the board, then using a sawzall to hollow out slots that opened the holes out the side of the board. The holes hold a standard gun reg, and the slots allow the air fittings and macroline to slide down into the hole.

I actually learned this trick from an old airsoft player, but some milk bottle lids fit perfectly into pvc pipes ( I forgot what size. ) I normally save my milk lids and put them in my poatato cannon, throw a hand full or two of old paint that I would never even think of shooting out of my gun and then put some toliet paper on top to prevent the balls from rolling out. It works very nicely.

my buddy use a pringels lid as a speed feed funniest thing ever

[Killer0Kevin]

Me, and my brother actually made an electronic Caddy using a Halo B engine and a laundry detergent bottle.

You can ask any large stores if they do anything with any pallets they get. Then take the pallets and staple or tie the carpet on to cover the slats. More portable and you can use them to make a kinda hyperball field.

If you get a ton, you can just make a pile and call it good. lol

I'm going take this topic and reverse it. Things used for paintball that can also be used in the household? Re-balls! Strung together re-balls make great anal beads. They also double as garland during the holidays. Enjoy!

I know i am not the only one that has done it ..

I have taken almost any household item and thought of how i could use it for paintball.
could I use a laundry detergent thing for a caddy?
could i use a pringles lid for a speed feed?

What are some other things i can use for paintball instead of spending 20$ or more?

thanks for everyones help now start posting your ideas!!

Bike reflector barrel cam-


Pringles Speedfeed



And my latest, snorkel stock class feed! Actually works really well

[mikebarr]

wow we need more suggestions so imma going to have to say to the top .. anyone know of some ways to make a headband or something instead of using a sandana thanks

[JJ GBR]

Use (small) empty margarine tubs to hold your spare batteries. I also have a cereal tub thing doing sterling work as a caddy.

Old small cushions can also be used as barrel bags - take out all the stuffing, and run a few lines of stitching up it, to divide the barrels.

wow i never thought there would be so many things i could use from home. i will probably try the tennis ball lid as soon as i start playing some more road-hockey or something other than that i will probably get a gun case. thanks for all the help

mike

you could even use the ball tubes as pods...theyre relativly the same size
