Anyone have extra guns just for loaning out?

    the only gun i have which is NOT a loaner is my phantom. That is mine, only a select few may proceed past handling it. Some people are even allowed to shoot it!

    seriously though, my mag, my raptorcocker, my f-4, the PVC pumper, and my mayhem are available for use to anybody. I have been known to give my mag to random newbs on the feild.
    I will probably lend out the snipergat when im not using it.

    lending out quality equipment is key, it makes the person focus on the game, not on why their gun isnt working. It makes it that much more enjoyable.

      I'm the same way with my blazer. i'll let alot of people handle it, though, but under my direct supervision, and when I say, "OK, please hand her back now", you better do it immediately and not give me any lip, else I'll get [edit]ticked off[/edit], b/c my blazer is MY primary gun, and I love it to pieces. When I say it's time to hand her back, she better be handed back instantly .

        I have a total of 5 masks, 6 guns, 4 hpa tanks, 3 or 4 co2 tanks, 6 or 7 hoppers, 4 packs and 20something pods. So I can put together 5 full setups including mine. I loaned my mini to a kid a few weeks ago at our corn maze game when his dragunfly crashed and burned, he was real happy with it. Since I put a new bolt in the rebel, it has become a decent loaner, instead of a paint-hungry blender(props to Spudnukl on that), just need to machine the body to accept a cocker detent and it will be set.

              always.

              using a gun other than a neglected rental really helps get people into the sport - it's much more fun to do well, than poorly.

                I let the people I am taking pick what they want to use out of what I have available at the time. So far, nobody has asked to use my splatmasters, nor the PG's. Once someone wanted to use one of my AGA's, though. And just about everyone wants to use my sydearm or squall till they get to the field and realiize that they can't spray paint with the rest of the sprayers out there. heheheheeee
                I think I would choose the Grinder. That is yours isn't it?

                I used to have lots of extra gear, but then most people I know bought their own, so I sold it for upgrades.

                  I've got a Trracer Tagmaster that I loan out for pump games. Loaners are essential when you play pump, because almost no field keeps them around anymore. Many of the guys in my club keep a second pump and/or stock gun on hand. A few have loaner semi's, too, for big games mostly. Mags and a few cockers.

                    I have a backup Retro mag I loan sometimes and also the most reliable Tippman Pro-lite!!! A little oil in both and they shoot forever with no other maintenance or problems!
