Were you back in the day?

[Lucky]

OK all you old farts, if like me your age is the wrong side of "should know better", and you started out in the woods running around like a lunatic, then this should spark the brain cells into life.......before Alzheimer's sets in

I'm putting together a display board on our site of how paintball started and it's bygone "glory" days, for the punters to look at between games.

What i'm looking for from you lot is if anyone has any old skool photo's showing things like the 12gram gauntlets, we used to wear. Maybe the paintball tube harnesses as well.....in fact anything like that which sparks a memory or a laugh

If anyone has any interesting links or remembers anything that i've forgotten, like some of the guns and equipment that were around, splats, splat rapides, pgp's, sheridan KP2's, bushmasters, black widows, phantoms, etc etc
What else was there

Anything that you can think of that would make interesting reading for punters waiting for the day to start, or at dinnertime etc etc

If you have any large images, would you mail them to me at demoncocker@yahoo.co.uk

Thanks for your help............oh sorry i'd better speak up a bit
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
Cheers
Colin
