Prometheus Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Ok, I'm sure alot of you, if not most of you guys are tired of lugging around a can of BBs with you and making that baby rattle sound when you so much as walk. Well, I have a new idea for you guys to argue about.... A new BB bag design... You know those bags that they sell on TV that you can put cloths and pillows into and then vaccume out the air from it and make it like 90% smaller? This bag is similar... It would be a bag made of that sam kind of plastic with basically a funnel on one end. So it would look like this ....I know the font in the picture is small. This way it would prevent rattle and the bag could be scrunched up when at half capactiy or when not in use to provide space for other items in your pack. Better pictures to come soon. ~P ****EDIT**** Better picture... I know this isn't a new idea but it would greatly help with that god-aweful rattle... ~P Link to post Share on other sites
Hilts Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Good idea! Couldn't you achieve the same effect with a ziplock food bag? Fill with BB's and close the ziplock almost all the way - leave about a fingers' width open - and suck all the air out. No rattling! Open by the same amount to release the BB's and/or carry a separate funnel to help with loading. Re - useable too. Link to post Share on other sites
jjj Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 alternatively you could also cut a hole in the zip lock bag, and tape the funnel to it. or even use toy soldiers as soder Link to post Share on other sites
Rob15 Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 American eagle already make these not sure how good the ammo that comes in them is though Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted July 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 This would just be a "THICK" plastic bag that would have an attached BB funnel. Not as thin as the ziploc....more of the thickness of say five-8 sheets of paper together....thick.. ~P Link to post Share on other sites
Gene Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 My problem with ziploc's is they get brittle and get holes in easily. Link to post Share on other sites
jjj Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 My problem with ziploc's is they get brittle and get holes in easily. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thats why we have tape Link to post Share on other sites
Marshmallow Monster Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 American eagle already make these not sure how good the ammo that comes in them is though <{POST_SNAPBACK}> American Eagle?? Well, you are in the UK, so are they not a clothing store over there? Here in the US they are a clothing store. I have a hat from there, got it about 4 years ago, still wearing it Link to post Share on other sites
Meathead316 Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 why not just get a cylindrical tub, put ya bbs in it, then use foam circles to fill up any left over space, like im my pic. you woulkd have to also carry enough foam pieces to fit into the tube when empty, but they wont be too hard as they are very like, and can be compacted.

Gale Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Meathead- you have inspired a thought! BB bottle, and the lide has a spring glued to it, and glued to the spring is foam. Link to post Share on other sites
Meathead316 Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 i was thinkin summat liek that too, put pieces of foam is easier, and cheaper. ive never tries either idea, and only thought of them as i read this post. how wud the vacuum idea work? u gonna carry a vacuum cleaner on your back? lol Link to post Share on other sites
Nicho Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Well this is what i use and have been for some time, i need to make a new one really as the bags getting worn. Really simple really, might spray paint it black if i can be bothered. Link to post Share on other sites
Frangible Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 That is a damned fine idea, Nicho. Nice one fella! Cheers F Link to post Share on other sites
Nicho Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Thanks, if you going to do one, remember to put tape inside around the plastic also all the bbs will just fall between them if you undersatnd. Then just a bit on the outside to keep the round shape. EDIT: What the hell i have had my camra out 5 times today why no use the batts and make it 6 Huh? Here, Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Ive got an idea too!! Get a P90 hicap! Push that wierd latch thingy near the hole and voila a no rattling bb older thinga ma jigga! Link to post Share on other sites
ColSanders Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Sounds like this is right up my alley. Why not use a Pastry bag, can cinch it tight as need be, attach a 7mm tip and can squeeze and release bbs to your hearts content. When done twist the tip and if you're creative with a little velcro you can seal it off. Will cost... $5 tops pastry bag running bout $3 and you can get a tip set at the local michaels or whatever for $1 max. Alex "Col Sanders" Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 AGH! I didn't mean a vacume sealing bag. I meant a material similar to the vaccume sealing bags. Just a think plastic bag with a BB nozzle on one end. No vaccuming at all....just a thick plastic bag, with a BB nozzle. Plain and simple... ~P Link to post Share on other sites
Nicho Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Everyone stop peeing there pants? just check my pics its all there. Link to post Share on other sites
Kingcodez Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 For the vaccume thing: I remember seeing an info mercial for a Clothes Bag (Like Camping that keeps moisture out) that you Roll to the end (Assuming that you got clothes in it) and it lets the air out. You can but the same stuff and make it outta that. I like the Bottle thingie Nicho. If you paint it take a pic and stick it up. That way you'll use up more of your batterys Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Standard BB Bottle + foam biscut + a long spring. attach the spring to the base of the bottle, glue the foam biscut on to it. Simple and easy. Or just carry a damn bag of BBs and keep your Speed Loader full at all times. Link to post Share on other sites
