first of my hyperball bunkers

[magc68]

as u all know i asked for some suggestions on unique hyerball bunker designs. well here is the first one. our Y bunker. center feild on the tape line is where it will go. the large 3ft dia pipe is where the tapeline will be.

http://recursionpb.homestead.com/files/hyper/hyperY.jpg

each leg of the Y is 6 and 3/4' long 18" dia.
on top of each leg is 4' long 12" dia. the center peice is 5' tall 2' dia. and on the end of the tape line leg is 2' tall 3' dia.
this looks like it should work well for a front player, not too big and not too small.

what do u think? keep it or loose it?


HERE R SOME NEW PICS!!!!!

where do you get those tubes? and how much?

[Phil]

ditto previous post. we have been using sandbags. the bad thing about sandbags is that someone must fill them http://www.automags.org/ubb/frown.gif

[magc68]

i got those tubes from construction sites and recycling plants. these r all scraps and usually they will give them to u since they normaly have to pay for them to be taken away. for new stuff it usually goes for $5-20 a foot dependign on diameter. expensive stuff.

what did you use to cut the stuff?

[magc68]

hack saw works fine. its only plastic...

You can make a lot of money off this if you can get your hands on alot of the material. There is a lot of people building their own field ya know....

i cant get large amounts of it though. sometimes i wake up and see some in my yard that my friends drop off before going to work and such so i never know when i get some.

[DJTmRave3]

hey magc68....we want to see more pics of the other bunkers and the whole field when you get it up. WHP (Wolf Hill Paintball) is looking into a hyperball field for next year. We got a Sup-Air field this year.

Hey do you have AIM, I am making my own field right now and I am trying to get some good ideas for bunkers. My screen name is jjg7077 if you do have AIM. Thanks!

[magc68]

so its a keeper then. cool. almost done with the center bunker. and started working on the 80ft long SNAKE!!!. i got the back standups done nothing spectacular got some cool midfield side bunkers done so the field is almost playable... should be one sweet thing.

hey 900 posts....woho

that'sweet!
all you need now is more bunkers http://www.automags.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

[ReTroMagBoy]

that bunker looks pretty big for a bunker on the 50....looks good for up on a side on the 30-40....just my opinion!

retro,
big as in too tall or big as it covers too much area?

[cphilip]

Very Very nice. Keep us up to date.

[magc68]

just added 2 more pics..

[slayer]

I can shoot people on it when? Nice job. I think they would be a blast to play.

[MarkedClown]

Woooo! Thats ausome! I would pay to get in there!

[scarpa43]

Ok magc68, i have heard about how to cut, where to buy and price, but how are you building these? what are you using to fasten the tubes to one another?
at my field we end up just laying pieces next to each other or using rope on vertical pieces.
I am asking because your came out looking so good i would like to use the same technique.

[LizzaRTgirl14]

That's awesome! looks very professional! Even more when it gets that paint all ovver it http://www.automags.org/ubb/wink.gif

[JohnnyLaw353]

Pretty darn sweet!

[magc68]

i used grade 2 bolts to scure the pipe together and used screws to hold the covering on over the gaps...
im sorry but it was hard to get a pic of how the standups and laydowns were connected but since its corricated the ridges give u enough room to put a bolt through and then bolt them together where they touch...

well in my experience something that "playable" in the middle of the field can make games stalemate alot easier. It is definately a nice design but maybe put it a little closer to the back...just a suggestion. I like your flag station bunker though...nice work!!!

[magc68]

retro,
thanks for your input. ill take that into consideration.

as of right now im just building some cool bunkers. that is what they r "cool" i dont have any idea how they will play. thats y i made them so i can take them apart to reconfigure and such. when big test day comes later this month ill let u know how it goes.

[Ityl]

He's cover the gaps for a reason http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif Don't wanna get shot through the base, again.

That last one in the first post is like the best idea for a base too. The crack pipe.

Looks awesome, can't wait to see the snake.

[cphilip]

Awesome ideas. Like how you solved using small pipe to make big bunkers.

Uhhhh....Crack Pipes?

[shartley]

Fantastic!

Thanks for the pictures... like they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words.". And in this case, it is more than true.

I'm still a bit concerned about Crack pipes and wanting to see the snakes comments myself... http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif

[MarkedClown]

Thats turning into a sweet field. Sometimes i wish that i would live upstate and not over here in brooklyn. Its not like the City (Manhatten) but its mostly residential. bout 70 houses on each block... I would like to live where theres open fields and stuff... you know..

[magc68]

phil,
crakpipe came from GRC. me and ityl play there. i belive one of the lockout guys names a bunker similar to that. its a 18" dia lay down 6' long pipe, then on top a 15" dia 3' long pipe with a 4' tall 36" dia on the end. loos similar to my version. so at GRC it got the name crackpipe.

the snake is getting a lot of consideration right now. dont wanna cut the pipe up and then change our mind. ill post some ideas later for my version of the snake...

[cphilip]

Oh...Ok...you have no idea what I was imagining. http://www.automags.org/ubb/wink.gif

[DRAGONSLAYER]

Looks real good, got to be some of the better pipe bunkers i've seen.

[MajorDamage]

That triangle andcenter one looks AWESOME! I wished my feild had those ones!

ENDO!

[Major Ho]

Can you take a pic of the final layout of the field? I would love to play there, so maybe if i could visualize I can at least dream http://www.automags.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Sgt Carnage]

Those are awesome! Where does one find corrugated tubing like that????

For those not from my area... check out
www.canobiepaintball.com (http://www.canobiepaintball.com)
they have a good hyperball field, a SupAir and a little village and a castle.

I found this castle too...

[magc68]

pic of the SUB has just been added!!!

[Major Ho]

wat sub? and wat kind of companies should i be going to to be asking for these tubes? This is a great job by the way.

[magc68]

wellbefore i coudl finace the rest of the feild i was offered the chance to sell to the local feild. so that is what im gonna do. they r going to mix the hyper with the ultimate airball feild to make a 10 man feild untill they get enough hyper tubing to make a entirely seperate 5 man feild. ill get pics when i get all the pipe dilvered over there.
