haven't figured out how to make a speedgate for the end so loading it
on the field is nearly impossible.

just do it the way they load shotguns in video games, one shell(or in this case, paintball) at a time.

another thing you could do is make slots in it so you knew how many rounds you have left and if one fed... just a thought!

or just use a clear pvc.

It said 1/2 inch but it's obviously not truly that small. Just take a larger size paintball top your local home improvement store and find the tube it fits just right in. If it gets stuck just sand the entire inside with like a power drill that has some sort of tube sanding attachment to it or something. Right over the vert feed is a T-adapter (I really should have used a 90 degree PVC elbow) and on the other side is a cap that fits around the T-adaptor. I put the quarter in there with some TP to push it agains the pipe.


When you buy the pipe, just get the full length it comes in. It's cheap and you never know if you need a replacement tube or want to make mags. Don't forget to get extra caps if you want to make mags.
