Blade-Style Shoulder Stock Class harness. w/ pics!

[magmanl337]

I made this last night after watching blade. I realized how great of a location on Blade's arm was for his little canisters of "Vampire Be-Gone". I went down to Wal-mart (Ick I hate that place) and picked up all the materials needed to make this for all of 4 dollars. It's made of 3 layers of black canvas, some black elastic bands, nylon strips for the band that goes around the arm, and some old back pack loops. It's very sturdy and very comfortable. I can't wait to get to the field to try it out on Sunday. If anyone wants the measurements for the pattern, let me know and I can get them to you. It will just take me a while to make them in photoshop to make it easy to read. Or I may start selling these if people want some. Anyways, on to the pics:

cool beard... oh and the arm thing is sweet also

haha jk, thats actually really cool, the only thing i would think would be a haslte is trying to reach over your gun while your shooting to reach another tube or canister cause i mean you dont have 3 arms

Actualyl, very simple. When you point your gun down, your forearm rotates, and your elbow is now facing at a 45 degree angle towards the right. That places the far tube just even with the upper bicep, I don't have to reach far. All I do is point the gun down, reach over and grab a tube, refill the phantom 10rnd tube, and slide the tube back on the harness. With this thing, reloading takes all of about 10 seconds, maybe 6-7 if i really do it fast.

yeah, but you gotta remember that this is stock class. Its not about speed. This is about wher you store your extra stuff. Cuz its not like they are so big you'd want to do a pack, so this is pretty cool. I think im going pump

When you play against semis its about speed.

And that is actually a pretty cool harness, like the ronin wrist harnesses only bigger. Probably more comfortable too. I'm assuming you loaded it for illustrative purposes, since you're packing enough co2 to shoot 12 times the paint you have loaded up.

Oh yes of course. Actually this Phantom is actually going to be set up with an AKA Sidewinder reg, and a 19ci/4500psi Dynaflow tank that will be mounted on the rail of the gun. I will drill out the holes and thread them, and it will mount on the top or bottom, not sure yet, but that's another project for another day Pics of that set up will be up soon. I just recently converted to stock class, and I must say, being able to pull off one shot at someone and hitting them out is a great feeling. I don't think I'll ever go back to electro-semi set up play. Stock class is just way too fun.

Makes me wanna go stock.....

Once you go stock you won't go back, give it a try sometime. Plus everyone at the field, when dividing teams always say "I want the pumper!" or something along those lines hehe.

My first gun was a phantom. My second was a spyder. I shoulda kept the phantom.....heh.

I shoulda kept the spyder too.

Next year.....

one thing that strikes me as odd though...why 12 grams if you have a 4 oz co2 tank?

Where did you find a tank like that? btw, i really like your harness setup. its pretty cool.

[neppo1345]

I think it's cool.

I'd run into a problem though.

I flex every time after I take out a player.

If I flexed with that on my bicep/tricep it would break/be vaporized.

so if i wanted one, whats it gonna run me for you to make one and sell it...
