I saw a 25 uses for a craptor list, but only a few of em were funny. Here's the ones I liked

9. Use it for spare parts to fix other Raptors, which will be used for spare parts to fix other Raptors, which will be used for spare parts to fix other Raptors………………….

11. Affix a bumper sticker to your Raptor, which says, “My Angel is in the Pro Shop”.

17. Pretend you are in the Olympics and use your Raptor for the hammer throw competition.

Not bashing anyone with Raptors, just a funny list I liked

Well... I made windchimes out of the old powerlets before.. dont work too well....
When using the 10 round tubes were the thing I used to use the tubes for storeing mixed drinks or strieght alcohol while swimming or whatever at the river!

one thing we have done before that was really cool, but dangerous was we took the big co2 fill tanks, and after they were expired...the store gave one to me. but not the fill station, so me and some friends went and set it up and took a sledge hammer and knocked the rusty knob on the end off and the tank shot down the river...it was so cool.

[Richy_C]

HA!

[Spyder7]

When all my friends got tanks instead of using 12 gram co2's. we took all are extras and wraped them in paper towels. poured gasoline on them and set in the corn stalks in ther neighbors field. we lit them and watched, they exploded the stalk in half and the cool part was that when a co2 explodes, it's really cold so it put out the fire. It was pretty fun.

[elTwitcho]

I read those posts, yet my brain rejects it. How can you people do this and still be alive? Doesnt anyone else see that the odds of them being killed in a hail of shrapnel and liquid CO2, is somewhere around 150%. I just... it doesnt... the chances... if your.... oh my lord it's crazy

[dawgs712]

i agree el twitcho, how do you get close enough to light without blowing your hand off?

[dawgs712]

this reminds me...there are these awards that they give out to families of people who died doing dum things. This one guy got his hands on this big rocket type thing and rigged it up to his vovlo. He cruized down those long strips in like nevada where thers no one there goin like 70 mph and then he hit the rocket thingy on. his tires started melting from the heat lost to the friction and eventually the tires were all worn off. the rims of his car started skipping off the road and his car crashed into a big meas thing. hahahah...i dont know if thats true, howd they figure it out..anyone else heard of these things.

[MuckRaker]

Right now there's a parent reading this thread, and it's reaffirming that parents notion that people who play paintball are complete psychopaths who have nothing better to do than explode stuff, which leads to using drugs and then to shooting people with real guns ... and everyone wonders how this sport gets such a bum rap.

yeah? so, whats ur point? ;) :) ;)

[davidb]

They're called the Darwin Awards.

[ds613]

Yeah, Darwin Awards. I have a whole book of them. The one about the guy who who put the rocket on his car was not true, just urban legend (too bad). The rocket was supposedly one that was designed to help large cargo planes take off with less runway.

[dawgs712]

yeah i didnt really believe it-figured howd they know? but the others are funny too.

[Intruder]

Paintball masks are good for Halloween. They are much better than those cheep, funny smelling, sticky, and crappy rubber masks that you buy for Halloween. :)

[Mr. Kitty]

I love explosions, but you guys are psychos! Why the hell would someone take a chance like that just to see something cool? I know some kids who do stuff like that and I tell them that they are stupid a$$holes but they think that they could never die. I know they are gonna get something blown off soon........

Heh, I own a BE Raptor and the funny thing is we have been calling it the Craptor also : ) After finding out I can toss a paintball straighter then a raptor can shot one I upgraded to my TL+

[Splat Attack]

Well my brother smashed a Co2 cartrage with a rock. Idiot, he is an idiot, but anyway, it was no where to be found after that, oh and about the big co2 river expired tank thing. B.S.

[SmartBall]

the only thing i've ever done remotely dangerous with Co2 was, well i need a little flash back action here.....

Last year we were up at our cabin, in the woods, about 10 miles away from any slightly major population. I was usin my talon, for shooting cans (yes, talons r good for sumpin) when it broke. since that was the only gun that shot those little 12 gramers, i decided to put some of the little 12 grams back into commision. so i loaded one into my spud gun (pnuematic, don't worry) and with a 1 inch (dia.) barrel on it, fired an empty one. about 600 yards. so then i thought, how far would a loaded one go? did the same thing, but aimed it at a tree about 50 yds back. fired, BOOOOOM!!!!!!! CRACK!!!!! TIMBEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR! yep i felled the 50 or so foot high tree right down. amasing i though. tried to do it again, but the cartridge got caught in my barrel, and the spud gun blew apart. no damage to me. thats a preetty sweeet amunition though :) :)

[elTwitcho]

lol, that's actually really funny. I can see the news headlines when people catch on to this

"Air gun accessory, or anti tank round, you decide"

[mikek2111987]

Darwin awards are funny except for the fact that people kill them selfs.I heard about this one guy that straped a rocket engine onto his car and drove off a cliff with it.

[dawgs712]

i already wrote something about that. its not true. and about the co2 ammo. that could be a new thread. 101 ways to f*** up an electro

[MuckRaker]

I posted this once before a long time ago, but it bears repeating ... the main ingredient in most paintball fills is Sorbitol, a naturally occuring food sweetner. In high doses, sorbitol has a "laxative" effect ... i.e. it causes one to get the runs ... so, as an alternative use, if your every ... err ... plugged up, pop a few paintballs and wait for that wonderful cleansing effect.

[A damn fool]

And am i surprised spyd made this thread, not at all, what do u do, throw them at street signs?

If u have ever bought paint, and there is broken paint, make paint greneades. Pu them in a ballon,a nd uve ogt perfect grenades. Also, if u ever paly with nebies who use bras eagel paint, tell them ull take away there garbage, and take the contaniors, theyre great for holding paint, specially when u need to travel with it and dont want it to break. Also, the foam things in the paint make great one time squegees fo in between games if u break a lot of paint.

[Splat Attack]

ha ha, yeah my dad bought me 100 BE paint, it came in this little tube, and one of my 100 rd loaders broke, so I use this now. Cheap, but works.

[Dan Guo]

This isnt realy a alternative use for the products but i remember this one time i went pbing with my freinds and i rented a co2 tank and i think the valve blew off or something but that fu#ker flew backwords so hard it nailed the bunker behind me and put the biggest whole in it. it was so fu#kin funny


Im glad there was nobody in that bunker
