| It's late and I don't want to type this out if no one is going to read this. So if you want to hear how to easily and safely transport a 98 custom, CO2 tank, hopper, grenades, miscellanious paintball stuff and about 300 rounds in a spanish guitar case using some duct tape, scissors, and some tacks let me know and I'll type it tomorrow (it's not incredibly difficult to figure out on your own or adapt to a different marker but I've got time to kill). |

Why didnt you just wait until tomorrow to type this, instead of doing this "its too late" thing? ------------- Axe in the head, early to bed, Axe in the helmet, a thanks to Helmut... and I support Bush! So there. |

That would be pretty sweet walking into a match with a guitar case. You could make it like the scene for desperado. I think i'd rather spend the money to buy an actual gun case though. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

I said its too late because I'm a moron. ok so back to the case. I use a guitar case because I hate trying to explain to other people in my apartment building what I'm doing with a gun and then trying to explain paintball before reaching the lobby. also, the case has a nice spot for a lock and it's damn sexy to pull out in the parking lot of my field (people think I know what I'm doing). finally, in a scenario game you can use the case as a carry along shield if you reinforce the outside with duct tape (and clear it with the refs) 1) buy a big spanish guitar case (hard shell, no gig bags) 2) cut the styrophome the gun comes in so you have the full outline of the gun and tank (try to leave thick walls but you can use black duct tape to reinforce the walls) 3) open guitar case 4) your case should have a sort of short wall in the case between the body and neck, remove any other walls (such as internal comparments) 5) put the gun shaped styrophome in the body and tack it into the case (although I don't tack mine it might make you feel mre comfortable throwing the case around in a car or something) place the tank section into the neck. secure this too (try messing around with duct tape). 6) if you dump the crappy barrel and have a longer one you need to cut the aprox. .5 inch section of styrophome where the gun shell ends 7) by now, the gun will be in but can move freely so you need to put the hopper into the empty space under the barrel which will fit snugly enough to prevent rattling. 8) on the side nearest to you you can fit at least two (probably three) tubes loaded with paint or another air tank. 9) there should be enough room above the air tank in the neck (at the head of the case) to safely carry a few grenades (you might consider securing the pins in the name of common sense) 10) use the rest of the room to easily store whatever else you need this is the basic setup and can be played with until you find your favorite configuration. I know these are pretty vauge instructions however this should be something you can call your own so play with it all you want. Finally, if anyone has another interseting case idea I'd love to hear it |
