Somehow I think having 10 round tubes anno'd to match your marker would be really cool.

Time machine doesn't go much farther back than that!

I shudder to think how much 120 paintballs cost back in the day though.

The most I've ever paid was $2 per tube when I started in 1986.
Gastly, though that included the tube, and 20 tubes could easily last you all day.

Oddly I spend the same amount of paint back in 1986 as I do now....

the time machine didn't go back as far as it could. check out these old tubes. these are 14 round tubes made of cardboard. very very old.

$3.50 a tube in 1984
$35 for a case of 120 usually split with 3 guys


The tube are far to soft for anything but one time use, most likely they would not even survive stripping and anno.

That's it... I call shens on sugarstump. It's become apparent with his loads of minty oldschool goodness that he obviously has this time machine that you speak of..
