i found these battlemax bunkers on the net and they are for foam balls, but look exactly like paintball bunkers, yet they say "not for paintball use". im guessing they are not as durable, but im just thinking about making a course in my backyard, and use it once a month, so its not gonna take much abuse. also, is there a way to make them more durable? like maybe buy some tarps and fit them so the will cover them, but still be a little lose so they will slow the balls down? im thinking if they work, i can have about 25 bunkers for the price of the extream rage set, which only has 5-6 bunkers. ill post the link and some pics...

i wouldnt use them for paintball, if they say there for foam balls i doubt they can handle a paintball. they dont look to strong anyway.

i think im going to get one of them and test it out, and if it seems like it will hold up, ill get some more and modify them.

They do work! I bought 2 sets so that my 4 year old and I can play in the basement. I have shot a hopper full of paintballs (outside) at one in less than a foot pattern from about 15 feet away at around 280 fps and no problems but not sure about prolonged use. But they are very small for a 6' tall person!
