Hi there!
I feel that I want to show you guys a little project that me and my friend is up to. Its our summerjob, and we are selling this product in sweden

Anyways:

What is a barrelbag:
A device that stops a paintball from leaving the barrel if you accidently fire your marker outside the court.

What makes our special:
Ordinary barrelbags made by big brands often stand for 10-20 shots. Then they break. Not ours
Our homemade barrelbags took 400 (!!!!!) shots, an is still in perfect condition.

What do you say? Swedish quality.






Take a look at the video:

Can you elaborate on what it is? I still don't see a use for it (because I don't get it).

EDIT: Ah, outside of the game. Okay, I got it.

Interesting. Now why can't the brand companies make ones as good as yours?

The material for our barrelbag cost allmost as much as the stores sell the bigger brands for.

Yes, the barrelbag is uused outside the game. Since markers shoots in 300fps with a quite large projectile it does great damage to eyes etc. Your eye will actually just pop out if you get a direct hit. Thats bad

Cool! Did you get that sale from the site or from telling shops about your barrel bag? If you haven't been going around to the different shops near you that sell paintball guns/ammo you should.

First I contacted a store, they wanted 500. But they didnt want to pay much for it. Somewere around 20 SEK (Swedish crowns), and they cost 15 SEK to produce

But this customer I contacted just to see if I could put up a banner on their site/forum. And it ended up with that they want to buy 100, they also want to give us a lot of publicity on their site for free (they have at least 2000 active users)

Its real fun!
