Instructions

    • 1

      Choose a suitable container which will accommodate the size of the paintball gun to be stored. An old suitcase, attache case, guitar case, violin case or other latching container with a handle will work. Choosing a case can make a statement about a paintball player.

    • 2

      Open the case or container and measure the interior of the top and bottom. Also measure the top-to-bottom depth of the case. It will be necessary to place enough foam in the case to both protect and secure the gun during travel.

    • 3

      Mark the dimensions on the foam and cut with scissors. Periodically fit the foam to the case and make adjustments by removing small amounts of the foam to achieve a good fit.

    • 4

      Layer the foam, if necessary, to achieve a level which will hold the paintball gun in place and prevent damage during travel.

    • 5

      Place the paintball gun in the case and check for a secure fit. Add more foam if the gun moves around when the top is closed, remove some foam if the fit seems too tight.
