Paintball Hacks: What Commonplace Items Have a Paintball Use?

[Grendel]

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.

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

Molle system frag grenade pouches hold 50 round pods perfectly.

[Hp_lovecraft]

M16 mag pouches.

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.

Homerj is so 2008. Chuck E Ducky's so 2000-and-late.

The neoprene sleeve from my old netbook (remember those? circa 2008) makes a perfect case for my Proto SLG.

Dollar store is my go-to for cleaning gear: spray bottle, rubbing alcohol, microfiber towels, synthetic chamois towels, microfiber lens cloths, etc.

So far my favorite knee pads are some multi-sport Asics I got off Amazon for $4 per pad. More comfortable and lighter than my Dye knee pads.

My gloves are Seibertron half-finger "tactical" gloves from Amazon. $18.

Headwrap/bandana: OD green triangular muslin bandage from my local army-navy surplus store. Think Tom Berenger in Platoon.

I hear ya on the knee pads. I've never been able to find a good pair of paintball-specific ones I like, and volleyball pads are too bulky, and the cloth is scratchy. I found a pair of hex-pad basketball knee pads with the really soft, stretchy Under Armor material for $20 at Walmart or something and they've been AWESOME. the way they fold above my calf, they never slip down. They weigh nothing, and I haven't felt a slide ever.

[RAZRBAKK]

I keep a couple bike handle bar grips around to remove stuck regs from time to time.

[Chuck E Ducky]

That’s a good idea never thought of that. I got some laying around the garage to.

[Brokeass_baller]

This is brilliant

They're getting harder to find, but I use a Nintendo 3DS travel case to store my Freak inserts.

[XEMON]

awesome, been looking for exactly something like this!

[Grendel]

Six x Cigar cases work too.

[Target]

Someone on here 3d prints insert cases that look pretty nice as well.

I use a test tube rack for drying/holding my 10 round tubes. It's a bit silly, but I like the aesthetic.

[Rainmaker]

I've got several empty clothes washer detergent jugs I use to put my paint in. Easier to fill pods from the jug than straight from the bag.
