Go ahead an submit a patent for a funnel... LOL.

"Funnel"

Invented by Me.

[magnj]

thats a good idea maybe you could make them to fit the top of pods. but you cant like call patent pending unless you actualy do it. lol. PLus that dont matter all I have to do is change it a lil bit and vuala ( sp)

[halo13]

Prototype(s) are in construction. Patent Pending!

I was planning on having an approximate base of 2 and 1/16 inches, the diameter of a pod. It will also have a sloped top because hopper "mouths" are at an angle, and the slope would hel prevent spillage. Pics up if anybody actually wants to see this.

Patent Pending, thats right... I'm talking to YOU!

Already done man...the ghetto way...a 2 liter bottle. Cut off the bottom half, open the neck a little...viola! (no sp)

[halo13]

NoooooooooooooooooooooOoOoOOooooOOoOOOooOOOOoOoOOO OOOOoO.

*ahem* I think I'll still make some just for fun.

A local field has been open since 1988. Since around 1990 they had a funnel to fill the balls. Oh, and it's illegal to say patent pending unless you have a patent for something. You may be fined or something.

Major Paintball have the Super Sack that they are selling.

[NightStalker]

Wow, That looks pretty good. I kinda like it.

[Coaster]

somebody beat you to it. http://www.paintballchannel.com/phot...JPG&img=96&tt=

[halo13]

wow, those are all really big. Is that last one cast iron or just shiny plastic?

[edit] I was thinking something arround the size of a coke can, those two are way to big.

[Gotenks]

yeah those things are plastic

and awesome.

Man you can fill like 10 pods in a minute.

why would you the size of a coke can? that would hold less paintballs than a 150 pod?!!!?!??!

You been smokin

*EDIT* you know, I been thinkin, this could lead to paintball vending machines at huge events

[magnj]

those sacks are cool

funnels are not so cool

and vending machines is a great idea, like a refrigeerated(sp) machine that dispenses, 100,200,500, or 2000 balls. and they give u like a bag or sumtin like that sack and u hold it under a nozzle and the come out. or they come out in indivdual bags.

[Gotenks]

yeah

I think it would kill lines in big events a bit

[BrokenEagle]

Hmm, vending machine?

Remember the last time you lost a quarter in a Coke machine? Imagine if that were a $20 or a $50...
"Aw, man! Stupid machine ate my ball money!"

And then of course what happens if someone loads the machine wrong, and all you get in your bags of balls is a groovy paint soup with shell flecks. Mmmm...

But I do like the idea of manual funnels and super sacks, those look really handy.
