Title: Ghetto Speed caps...
Description: any ideas


Lone Maverick - August 2, 2008 05:36 AM (GMT)
I don't really wanna mess with the regular caps on the field,
knowing me I will lose them all on the first day I use them.
So rather than taking the easier way out and buying some,
how would one make a ghetto speed cap
I would assume some string, but if you tied it to the tube wouldn't just slip off?
Help please

Ok, here you go. Simple slit cut in the lid set in a little so the tie doesn't hit the tube.

I personally like the zip ties. The end of the zip tie sits inside the cap and puts pressure on the first ball keeping them from rattling in the tube. Plus with a simple flick of the thumb the cap moves completely out of the way due to the zip tie. I can also hold them in my fingers by the zip tie as well or pull them from my pack that way.

pay the pennies, buy them from wevo, the chump change that u spend to buy and ship the caps is well worth not having to make a bunch of homemade. take it from someone who made fifty myself and then bought fifty from wevo. much happier with my purchase to wevo then my time it took to make all them little buggers

capless ftw!

you could look on a table at the EMR Pavillion and in a plastic bag i left probably 15 tubes w/ speedcaps =P that would be the easiest way, haha, oops, thankfully they are cheap so i'm only out like $4

I've never been impressed with the speedcaps that Wevo sells. I got about 20 of them a few years ago and they all broke rather quickly. With that sharp little tab on the end I found them both difficult and painful to remove the caps and half the time the strap would come off with the cap. Other times, the brittle plastic would break, leaving me with a sharp mishapen cap and a useless strap piece.

The homemade speedcaps I've seen people with are much more durable and easy to use.

Well
I decided to make my own since I had all the materials needed
yay

Standard caps slow you down. That's why I prefer capless. But these caps are quicker.

+1 vote here for home mod for cheap people. But you'll never know if you don't try a few of the premade speedcaps.

That being said. Last time i played i used a mixture of both. It doesn't matter either way anymore for me i guess. While i say i prefer the modded ones. I still use the others.

I did the ziptie mod a while ago. It worked... the only downside was that the tubes were no longer quite as airtight as they once were because of the hole, and the ammo got dimply. No big deal because ammo gets dimply ~anyway~, but my impression was that it happened quicker with homemade speedcaps than with premade ones.
