    Mines in the garage running right now , have a scenario event this weekend ; I don't pay 15$ to 20$ air fees any more , I play 8 to 10 events a year so how much will that save me ?

      Just saying it will take the average player 3-4 years to recoup the cost of the shoebox on air fills. Anyways....we all see value in different ways.

      I'm sure you can do the math though, Calculon

        Hi AGD,

        I'd like to purchase one. Also, for everyone else - got any pics?

          Nevermind :-)

          Found this:



          Glad to see AGD back in the game! I own the best mechanical marker (Automag!) E-marker (Emag), best air system (4500 Flatline and want to buy the best compressor! I got out of paintball 7 years ago but I'm buying one just 'cause!

          Congrats TK!

              I feel like this should be one of those hidden object games where I try to find all the spare mag parts in the pic

              Haven't found any yet
              Maybe we need a different view of your garage

                I asked about filling a tank like that with the Shoebox.... and was told that I'd probably have to rebuild the thing over and over. It wasn't recommended. How's it really holding up? And how long does it take to fill it to 4500 from, say, 1200 psi?

                  I haven't started on the 6K tank yet , I really don't want to think how many hours it will take to fill , I figure it is about the size of 3 or 4 scuba tanks & it will fill to max output instead of 3K

                      My bet is to keep the handle from jumping around when it's running.

                        Looks more like two mini towers to me.
                        It looks like there's a mid-tower holding up a saw on the other side.

                          Take a fan or two out of one of those old computers and use them to cool the compressor instead of that table fan.

                              PS a patent is in the works.
                              Have those worked for you? Have you ever had to defend one? In my own experience I find anything but the provisional wasted money.

                              P.S. Check the ShoeBox forum.
