Paintball Clip

Not the most original idea, but it might work. make them plastic disposables and load them up with some medium quality paint or even have multiple levels of quality of the paint in the clips. I want to make them universal so any marker will work with them. If any tippmann XO's see this, take this idea into consideration.

 

Sounds to me like pre-filled pods that you just buy, take out of their packaging before a game, and jam the mystery paint into your gun. What a fun that'd be. If that's the case, I think Brass Eagle beat you to it.

Tippmann already had an Idea similar to this, it was called the Tippmann SMG. It used strips of plastic tubes w/ paintballs in them, and was fed by a mag coming in from the side, like the old sten machine pistols of WW2. Tippmann stoped making them a long time ago.

I don't think the market would be there. The capacity for the clips would be small, and they would add a large amount of bulk.

BTW, getrealpaintball.com needs to hire a new web designer.

I Have Considered this Idea many times. Its true that it is totally unecessary, and less efficient then what is being used now. but It would be very fun if there were scenarios set up where everyone used the same Magazine system. It would give the game a more realistic twist to it. And u would be more likely to waste less paint. (if you care about that sort of thing) Also a gun with a clip and a 12g could be made to be quite small. So I guess a clip might not be totally useless after all. well there are my thoughts

Although I think it is a cool idea and some people would like to see them marketed, is the monetary incentive there to design, make, test, and market the clips and adapters/markers that use them? It takes an appreciable demand to bring a product to market. I just don't know if it is feasible.

I've been using a magazine for 17 years.  I started with the rapide, and then I took my GZ and fixed it to take the rapide mag.  I couldn't go up aganist the semis with a 12 gram. 

I wouldn't swap it for anything.  I've used it against pro teams (in the woods) , and I had a great time. 

My mag only holds 40 rounds so I don't do a lot of heavy suppression.  You can see it here:

SMG-60 and 68 both had magazines with stripper clips in them.

The ATS line from www.getrealpaintball.com uses a chain fed magazine.

The RAP or RAM uses individual stripper clips for each round, but its 40cal paint. Accuracy is total crap.

If I recommend anything its an AT-85. Their accuracy is unsurpassed as of yet.

Incorrect, evil. ATS uses standard .68 caliber. You're correct about RAP series markers though- they fire either .40 or .43 depending on the version of marker and the age.
