Fake shotgun shells

[Rob]

I've been carrying my extra 8mm rounds for my shotgun in old paintball tube. But thought it would be cool if I had hollow fake shotgun shells to hold them instead. Should be able to refill the shotty from 2 shells worth I'd say.

Any ideas?

How about the simple solution some spent shells? They've got a lot of excess material on the end that you can either fold back, or somehow fashion into a lid of some sort...

yeah that might work. I wonder if there is a way to make a flip lid for them?

what about making the shotgun shell's head taper to kind of work like a bb loader(you know those plastic bb bottles)

just a thought

I remember seeing a shotgun-shell style speed loader on some Asain site for like $4. I'll try and find it, it only held like 30-40 rounds though.

I'm guessing it doesn't fit 8mm BBs, though.

No it was 6mm, unfortunatly.

but you could just make the hole bigger for 8mm rounds?
