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

one of those was actually my first pod. it was when i was only outlaw-balling i just duct-taped the lid so it wouldn't fall off

[The_Highlander]

Sticky this. And Tennis ball tubes are what I have to use as pods. The fact that I can't even afford a single pod is very sad.

Socks work okay for holding paint...

Technically a household item.

Tool box! Fits pretty much everything! Also lockable.

[TheBlueFlame44]

I have these huge pretzel bins that could make excellent paintball caddies with some mods. And you get delicious pretzels!

Plastic is kinda cheap though

I use an Altoids container as my tool kit like this:



It's small enough to fit in any paintball pants pocket and is pretty durable. Sometimes if there are only a few hex wrenched in there I throw some foam in the bottom so that you don't rattle like a bucket of bolts when you move.

Must admit I'm liking the Altoid tool kit.....now I have to go buy some Altoids!

at my cottage we had like 10 old inflatable rafts, so we inflated them and made an airball field

Sounds like fun


I might try that

[JesterofWar]

Old shirts for head bands


These make great tool kits for o-rings/ Allenkeys/ the like

I have made a couple things from stuff lying around the house.


First off is a caddy from an oatmeal box, an ice tea packet holder, and some duck tape. Works like a charm.



Next I made I made a speed feed from a locking lid, like a pringles lid but bigger, because of my hopper. Also works like one you could buy for 25$


Next I made a squeegee from my torn up squeegee and a strong cloth. Works perfect as well.


Finally I made a Goggle cam by basically securing my camera on my goggles.




It's more secure than it looks.

If you guys want vids on how to do this just ask.

just make sure they are the more durable rafts, not 100% sure but cheap ones may pop.

domed every single time i play anyway thanks for all the suggestions keep them coming

[Anti-RevelutionPaintball]

I made a really cheap and makeshift barrel swab out of an old microfibre cloth (picks up every peice of dirt and paint like a charm) and a wooden rod. just glue the cloth onto the rod. not plyable at all but just cut the rod down to a good enough size and you can strap it to your leg or something, works great, really cheap, really breakable.

[iflysuperhi]

You can make a sandana from an old t-shirt in the basic shape and get tsome velcro a.n glue it to the ends. Or, if ur a kid and our parents ware scrubs, the sell cheap sandana like things at scrub places.

as a little side product, i'm actually trying to make myself an Apex barrel tip, i doubt it will go well, but if it does it will save me 25 bucks

Let us know how your Apex barrel works out.

Tonight I just made a stock class hopper out of PVC pipe and now I just have to throw some paint on it and maybe rotozip a view channel up the side so I can see how much paint I have left.

so far it's been nothing but failure but there is no way i'm giving up on it

Are you going to make it adjustable or just like a flatline and shoot staight?

i'm hoping to make it adjustable, but at this point it all depends if i can find the right pieces.

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!

You, sir, just made my lunch a bit more fun.

I don't think he was suggesting that you try it. But well done for venturing where others haven't.

And detergent bottles as ball caddies. Nuff said.

[hyper guy]

buy a 20 pound plastic container of cat litter with a wide mouth for 6 or 7 bucks would work great as a caddy and would most likely hold a case of paint and you can ever screw the cap back on to keep the dirt and moister out spray paint the out side of it a bright color to keep the heat down
