    How many spare parts do you carry

    I was at a tournament away from the normal field the other week... well a couple of the regulars at the normal field came over to borrow tools/batteries from me. I was wondering, what do you all carry in the way of spare parts and equipment

    I carry an X-valved mag for primary
    One Smart Mag for backup
    Both with ricochet hoppers, both with air tanks

    6 to 12 9 volt batteries (imagine if I had an electric gun)
    2 RT repair kits - unopened (for X valve)
    One standard mag repair kit - unopened
    Countless spare parts from previously opened kits
    3 Allen wrench kits
    2 spare bolt springs
    2 spare bolts
    One fully assembled classic valve (backup)
    LVL ten extra parts
    screwdrivers - philips and flats
    Tylenol
    Sudafed
    Breath mints
    3 extra pods in case mine break

    My teammates tell me I'm obsessive, I tell them I'm prepared... am I wrong?

    I don't have a backup gun, I am shooting an X-valved, ULE-d, Ult'd, Omega rail'd, Intelli'd (Y-grip coming soon Thanks Tuna) mag. I have a Halo B and an Egg 2, but I still bring my VL 200 just incase. Now, for the extra parts. I have a classic parts kit I don't use, but it has come in handy for fixing other people's mags. I have a RT parts kit. All of the extra Level 10 parts. 5 or 6 extra level 10 springs cut to varying lengths. A complete allen wrench kit, shillips and flathead screwdrivers, a small wrench kit, 2 bottles of KC oil, some loctite and teflon tape an extra sear, my old level 7 bolt and power tube tip with spacers, my old on/off assembly with .750, .745, and .740 pins. I also carry about 10 extra RT bumpers and extra lithium batteries for my Halo and a few 9v for the egg. I have never had to use most of the stuff on the field, but if me or anyone else there is having a problem with their mechanical mag, the chances are good that I can have it fixed in a matter of minutes.

              I almost always have two fully functioning (seperate air tanks, warps, hoppers) markers with me at the field. I carry all the parts that are possible to break (orings, seals, springs, wear parts) two times over and ten times more tools than possibly necessary....who knows...you might need a torque wrench or three phillips screwdrivers....

                  I have a large tacklebox that holds hundreds of different parts and screws. Enough stuff to make a new mag, minus the body and rail. I assume that those two won't break on me

                      I actually played against a whole team using my markers when believe it or not all thier markers failed for one reason or another.

                      Kinda funny really.......

                      mostly 'cause we lost........so I took all my stuff back and went home.......

                      Who's laughing now.

                        it might just be me, but i only take the velicty adjust allen wrench and the field strip one, cause if I bring anymore the RT knows it and then wants some attention

                        This way it allways works

                            I carry one of these when things stop working. A few wacks and she's good as new.




                            Honestly though, I carry a toolbox with the essentials. O-rings, lvl 10 parts kit, extra hose, TEFLON TAPE IS A MUST!! And allen keys.

                              i carry all the tools i'd ever need and any stock parts i've replaced like bolts and hammers.

                              and i always have 2 guns. if they both go down and i can't fix them, i dont deserve to keep playing.
