But Steve, you said there was a flaw? Yes,
I did. Here is my concern. Most old school
paintball players when playing just for fun
will cut the speed eject elastics off their
pod packs. They do this so that during
recreational games, they can simply take
their empty pod, turn it lid end to the sky
and stick it “upside down” in their pack.
This prevents the need of having to walk all
over the field looking for used pods. Now
it a tournament game, this is not an issue,
you just drop pods as you go. With the way
the retention system is designed, I am fairly
certain that cutting the speed eject elastics
would compromise the whole system. The
pods would not be held securely I fear and
that would lead to losing full pods mid game.
I am not 100% sure about this but I’m not
going to cut up my pack to find out.
One last tip to share about this pack. I was
talking with badass pro player Rich Martinez
who loves/uses these packs, and he had
some advice for me. He said be sure to keep
the thumb tabs of the pods pointed out and
away from the body as sometimes they can
catch and open the pod during play. Good
advice and thought I would share.
Play with passion everybody!
(P.S. Do you know how hard it is for an old
guy to take a selfie of his own butt? Someone
please email Amodea and let him know I
deserve danger pay.)
