    The Time Machine

    Okay here's a hypothetical for you: Doc somehow creates a tear in space and time with a Dew powered particle (and paintball) accelerator. You can travel back in time for 24 hours to any period and place in paintball history, play for a day there, and bring back whatever you can fit into a lunch box sized case.

    Where and when are you going and what are you bringing back?

    I think about crazy scenarios like this, except I was bit by a vampire at 25 so I'm in my prime forever and can use the time machine to keep repeating whatever era I want to.

    I'm not sure if I'd go way back to the beginnings, or somewhere around 98-2000...

      What do you mean "hypothetical"...?

          Plot twist: You buy too many, they never get worn by the people that need to wear them to be "cool" and you are left with a bunch of rags in a lunchbox.

        For me, I always wondered how many Karnivore can we fit in a lunchbox?
        There was a post on the old forum selling for $300...

            Admirable sentiments, but after what you'd have to do to fit Camille in a lunch box I'd be afraid to show her to Glenn

          Simple, late 90's, and bring back a lunchbox of decent paint. Rule paintball for a day in the present time by shooting straight

          I think I could fit a splash ano'd Eclipse Automag RT in a lunchbox if I did a complete tear down and pack carefully. I'd time travel back to their showroom store for that in '97-'98.

            I'd buy out Compulsive Paintball's NOS of Belsales parts ca. 2008. I remember picking up an Angry frame for $55.

              How much Bitcoin can you fit in a lunchbox?

              But to be serious, I'd go back to 2002 and try to snag one of the Eclipse Aurora cockers. I've seen them for sale about half a dozen tiems since then, but I never have $4K+ sitting around to get it.

                I'd like to play in the era RIGHT before electros became a thing. So much chuffing and clacking

                  I would travel to around the time Sup' Air was being developed... Sabotage that 'innovation' to keep 'pro' level paintball in the woods =P

                  I'd bring back sock hats and straight shot squeegees.

                    Easy, 2015 when I sold my early Pewter SFL.

                    EDIT: Not because it's worth a lot, but because it's the one I miss the most and regret selling every day.

                    EDIT 2: Found another pic with the old inline max-flo

                      I'd like to visit Wolf's Lair, partly to see if it was really as bad as reported, and partly to explore the original field layout and how it relates to what's there today. I'd stuff the lunchbox full of photos, patches, maps, whatever I could get hold of.

                      I dunno if that's my #1, but if I got like five trips it'd be on the list.
