RKilts MultiCam paintball kilt

[James MacMillan]

Grant - Just what is inside the paint balls? Is it really paint? And could you then paint something with them?

What I'm trying to figure out, is if there could be any practical use for them?

Lead! OK from Wiki:

Paintballs, also simply called "paint", are spherical gelatin capsules containing primarily polyethylene glycol, other non-toxic and water-soluble substances, and dye. Paint is made of materials found in food and are edible, but taste bad. [1] Early paintballs were made of glass [2] and filled with indelible oil-based paint, since they were made for marking trees and cattle, but modern paintballs should easily wash out of most clothing. The color of the shell does not necessarily indicate the color of the fill.

Most common paintballs and paintball markers are described as .68 caliber...

Yes, they do have other uses next time you go out for a kilt night get a little too tanked up and see what San Diego SWAT has... part of their less than lethal equipment may include various items like cayenne pepper balls or solid rubber balls and the like. Believe me a few quick shots of paintballs at close range is enough to deter anyone . I could definatly say I would not like to be hit by these riot control rounds. We wear special goggles when we play as at 300 fps, they will take an eye out, but have added considerably to police options over the old rubber bullets.

I know that our military also do some training with paintballs as do various police services. It's a valuble training tool. Lacking only in only in range (200') and accurracy it gives a great excuse to have a beer or two after the game (or in our case during ). I'd recommend going down to Pendleton to see if they have a pick up game.

Now we're talking! Some serious mayhem!!!!

By the way - Nice turn-out!

With respect to Robert's workmanship as I was looking over my pics I noticed this particular picture. Please note that I had just thrown the kilt on to take pictures and didn't fully adjust it. Bunching of the MOLLE straps is because the straps we're only looped through the top row of webbing. Had I have interlaced it as I'm supposed to this would most definatly not have happed as the Beaty of MOLLE is the support and load bearing characteristics. That area would have been flat even if I'm not anymore .

Better pics will be coming shortly and in full gear, (paintball markers at Mods discretion).

grant...I've been waiting for this thread for awhile...and let me say.......I LOVE IT!!!!
Dude, that kilt is absolutely killer. I can't wait till you've skirmished in it. I want the full review. Let us all know how it holds up on the battleground.

As an aside.....do you ever get east at all? I'd love to introduce you to the guys at my local paintball field. There's a small senario game happening in Nova Scotia next month I'm attending, it would be a good excuse to go on a vaction.
And I'd also love to introduce you to a game of airsoft.

cool Tac-8 too.

man...we sooooooo have to hang out some time.

Thanks for your great comments. Introduce me how? Like my group like like to "introduce" me the little geletin filled balls of dye hurtling toward me at an alarming rate? Sorry furthest East I've been is Montreal years ago. However my buddy in NB just had a baby...

In that first picture, are you smoking two cigarettes at once??

Trick of the light (or snow showing through the crack in the fence. I'm not that addicted ya know and I can stop at anyti...

As one who employs much of the gear that you picture for use with "real-steel" I can't begin to convey how impressed I am with the collaboration on this kilt!

RKilts should add this copyrighted design to his line and charge a fortune for it.
I would suggest that a hole for the upper strap for the thigh rig be made. A heavier chunk of steel, brass and lead would need the stability while running.



Simply OUTSTANDING!

Did you ever think of getting one of the small trauma plates for soft body armor to cover the "under sporran" area?

With all the thicknesses of material and a correctly position pocket for stiff foam plus semi-light padding of my sliding shorts, I feel would be enough 'shock mitigation' add the dump pouch 'sporran' which completely covers that vulnerable area might even be overkill. My chest rig of course is a plate carrier, but in paintball you need to know that you've been hit to call yourself out, it's a game of honour and elimination during the game and not to count the splotches at the end of the day.

If you make it to NB,...then PM me...I could meet you have way I'm sure.

And nah dude....my airsoft group are really cool and always step up to help newbies out. We're trying to expand the sport, not scare people away from it.
Besides, with your paintball skills...you'd probably light us up!
