Almost free paintball... at home

[Kyle.Kimber]

Ok, here is the idea.
Free ,minus the initial cost, paintball in your own backyard.

All you need are the following:

1x RIDGID
16-Gallon 6-1/2 hp Wet/Dry Vacuum with Detachable Blower
$100
2x REBALLS
500 pack. Expensive. Reusable
$300
1+Scuba tank
100 cu is a good size. This is actually not gonna be free, but a cheap alternative
$110
PMI HPA Fill Station
Needed for the scuba. PMI makes good stations
$50
Atomix Turf
Synthetic material used to emmulate grass playing field. Indoor or Outdoor
$??? probably expensive
K-Pro Netting
Durable paintball netting, sets a protective barrier around field
$???
Inflatafield by Extreme Rage
Lower end bunkers, five to seven bunkers is a good size
$280
Marker
If you dont have one, then you shouldn't be reading this
$10-$1000000

Notes:
The turf and netting are special order. I will have prices when they return my e-mails.
Sizes of fields will be different.
Save money by cutting corners. Ex) make the bunkers.
Scuba tanks is what will cost you, but one will last for a while.
You could always buy a portable field.
Final price coming soon.

IF ANYONE HAS ANY BETTER IDEAS OR WANTS TO MOD THIS, POST.
Working on makeing this cheap, yet not crappy, as possible.

With my 88 cubic feet scuba tank I get about 5-7 fills on my 68ci/4.5k psi tank... and thats only to 2200 psi.

So I'm gonna say you'll need at least 5 tanks if you want to play with more than like 8 people.

BTW, I made a field at my house that couldn't accomodate more than about 6 people and it got really boring if there were any less people/

yeah, my team did it. we used pvc bunkers that you can see in the background. as well as the bunkers you see in the forground... netting was 300+100 shipping for 300ft at 10ft high. turf was about 600-800 somewhere in there from lowes for 45*65 feild size........ we have used 4 cases of reballs, and lost about 300 of the balls so we started to build a roof, but we are not done yet. But lights up 120. bunkers; pvc about 200-300, and sup about $300 but we are borrowing those from our sponsor.

theres allot of stuff missing, but pm me or post i guess if you want more info.

There is a company near me that makes netting, I will do some checking with them to see what kind of prices I can get from them on it. ;)

Are you talking about springfield paintball?

If so, those guys are jerks, can't stand them.

How much was the poly-tarp and the PVC? What size is the PVC?
How much of both would you need for let's say...20 bunkers?

Thanks
