Paintball Hacks: What Commonplace Items Have a Paintball Use?

[homerj]

I’ve been using vacuum cleaner belts to hold the battery door on my eggs for a long time. They work really well. They grip the plastic & most likely won’t slide off if you take a hard fall/dive.

M16 mag pouches.

Molle system frag grenade pouches hold 50 round pods perfectly.

Even though that may sound like an exaggeration, it most probably wasn't. Sweden switched to a complete set of new bills between 2016 and 2017. The server probably hadn't seen them yet, since most people don't use cash any longer. Personally, I still have to check twice, if I receive a Swedish krona-bill, since I still don't know instinctively what they look like - since I haven't carried any cash for about a decade.

Actually, there are more and more businesses that flat out refuse to get payment in cash, so it is perfectly possible to work full time as a waiter/clerk, etc in Sweden, and not have a single clue as to what the Swedish money looks like.

An oldie but a goodie: Butler scope cover lids as a cap for old school mini-hoppers. Push-button release, and you can still buy them at your local fun..., er..., gun store. In Freedomland, anyway

Cigar cutter? Why didn't I think of that????

I usually change some cash when I travel internationally, just in case technology fails. Towards the end of a trip in Gothenburg, I unloaded some of it to pay the tab at a restaurant, and the server said, "oh... so that's what our money looks like" 😆

Laptop Bags and Neoprene sleeves for carrying and storing markers. For a few years everything I needed to go play was loaded into a large laptop backpack with a goggle mask bag clipped outside. I should get back there it made playing on short notice a lot easier.

Soccer pads work pretty good too!

I never understood pod swabs. Do you often break paint in there or something? I usually just shake around some dish soap and water once or twice a year to get the oil out, and that's it.

I love those things as small travel tool bag.
with the clear window you can see exactly what you have in there, put a carabineer on the eye loop and clip it anywhere.

A large fishing tackle box makes a fantastic tool and parts organizer

This one is really close to the one I use. I have the cast majority of my tools in it, all my o rings and tons of spare parts.

This also means you can take your show on the road for those big games and what not

Well, my personal view of myself rhymes a lot more with "gentleman", "connoisseur" and "gentleman", so domestically liberated it is.

Nope, no phone booths since quite some time. The cell phone and the minimal use of cash/coins in Sweden spelled their doom. Although I'm sure there will be some smartass coming up with the idea of a new phone booth where you you can pay with an app...

Nothing cosmic, but I seem to be using these items all the time.

Gun cleaning kit with 12 and 20 gauge shotgun swabs. Fits most upper and lower tubes.

For storing/shipping most of my barrels up to 14”

For storing long skinny guns, most of my pumps.

Also have an unreasonable amount of the black and yellow parts organizers from Harbor Freight and this handy little telescopic magnet for when that small part decides to roll behind or between something and is hard to get.
