Mystery paintball thingie...

Gather around kids. I have a mystery part for you to identify. I've seen a lot of paintball parts and pieces in my time but this has me stumped. I think it is a paintball part. It came in a box of paintball stuff. There are two washers. The red disc has ball bearings that protrude out both sides. (Part ID#20203 TBS-025) Can anyone tell me what it is?

Oh, and the dime did not come with it. It's there for scaling purposes. But you all knew that.

Paintball Eye in the Sky...

Here's another try at guessing a paintball location - minus the long and lat clues this time.

Paintball eye in the sky...

A while back I did a series of posts that showed paintball fields from a

Google Earth perspective. Here's one. Can you figure out where it is?

Best guess...

No one wanted to take a guess at this one. (It's $47 by the way.)  Not even for a chance to win a t-shirt. Ok, so it wasn't the coolest paintball t-shirt out there. But it was free!!

Don't want to play?  Be that way. I'm going to keep tossing them out there anyway.

A four tank, high pressure (6000psi), cascade system with plumbing. How much?

Another "Best Guess."

Last week, in a bold move to gain sympathy from you all for us struggling field owners, I dropped this item on you and asked you to guess the price. NoelyDeezNutz came the closest with $68 but that's for quantities of 10 or more.  Since I don't need that many at one time I get them here from Compressed Air Specialties for $65. So, technically Dragon1291 had the best guess. (more guesses here in the comments)

So, let's make this more interesting.  Check the next item. The first guess or the closest guess wins an IPAINTBALL T-Shirt.  Go here and pick out the style and color (don't order it) and with the details and I will send it right out.

So, for the rest of you slackers (I'm going to start using BACA's tone since he seems to get more results), get involved. Take a guess. Here it is (To keep it competitive I'm going to tack on an arbitrary penny amount to the total. So dollars and cents count) :

Oh, and the sympathy part - predictably it didn't happen.

Best guess...

Think it's cheap to run a paintball field?  Here's something I'm gonna try from time to time.  I might even make it a a reoccurring contest and award some swag for you trouble. Pictured is a quick disconnect that goes on the end of a high pressure whip. It's special because it closes if it pops off the fill nipple eliminating that nasty noise and hose whipping.

How much does one of these puppies cost?

Paintball Whatzit?

Awhile back I showed you all a picture of an obscure paintball tool I use at the field and asked you to try and guess what it was for.  I have an equally obscure item pictured here with the same challenge.  It's a specialty item so I don't expect many to have a clue.  Give it a shot. Use the "Contact Me" over on the left and send your guess.  Maybe we will come up with another use for it.

Which one of these is NOT the name of a paintball retailer?

Murder Inc., Paintball
Punisher Paintball
Violent Products

Quick Quiz…

All else being equal which paintball will travel further - one traveling at 280 feet per second when it leaves an eight inch barrel or one traveling 280 feet per second from a twenty-one inch barrel? For bonus points tell me which one will be the most accurate!

I have two entries in the Paintball Shirt contest. Here's your chance to rip me off for a T-Shirt! You all know how often I GIVE stuff away!!

UPDATE: The results are in. I didn't have enough entries to make it official but I'm gonna go ahead and declare "Greenflea" the winner with "PAINTBALL - THE ORIGINAL X-GAME"! Look for his shirt in the Shirt store soon. Be sure to pick one up so Greenflea can make a few dollars and maybe get back into paintball!
