When your afraid to walk across your floor at night becuase you dont want to step on any guns/parts or your pile of screws.

[DarkShadowHunter]

Your wife asks you about something and the answer sends you to thinking about projects for various guns.

[new ion?]

when your driving and your tunes give you a great idea for a way to modify a marker... drastically.

when you dream about ways to modify markers (ydna and his shocker dreambolt)

when you see some modified marker on the interwebz and say to yourself "I can do better" when you own all of 0 of the parts needed.

[nathan091 v.dgaf]

When you look at a gun and instantly wonder how well the parts would fit in other guns and such.

[DarkShadowHunter]

You look at your domestic short hair cat and it gives you an idea on how to paint a marker.

[autockcker47]

when you tear your rotator cuff, again, and have to get it surgically repaired, again, because you got mad at your trilogy Halfblock mq'ed ego'd pump and threw it across your yard.

When you go to collage to become a mechanical designer so you can design markers and parts. then buy machine tools to teach yourself how to make them. then teach yourself master cam to learn how to program the machine to make them, get a few patents and start going through the process of trying to start a business.

I am almost guilty of this. I also have taken CNC Setup, Operation, and Programing classes. I learned Mastercam, Taught myself SolidWorks(then helped the professor teach SolidWorks) Learned GD&T, developed a design that may get 3-4 cases of a 13ci. I just need money for the patents and I'm golden.

I dream with 3d modeling software in my head and come up with parts to gun's that I didn't even know existed. Sad thing is, they worked.

Your wife tells you not to put a marker you painted in the oven and you do it anyway while she is at work.

when you realize, after looking in your subscribed threads folder, that 'Voided' is spelled wrong and didn't notice it when you first posted.

[AjAk124578]

You know you belong in the voided warrenty when you void the title.. haha

[new ion?]

ooo, I got something else, but I'll have to edit this post later.

you know you belong in voided warrenty when your metalshop locker looks like this:

When you wife says you have to build an addition onto the house, so that there will be one room that doesn't have any paintball gear in it.

When the term "if it broke don't fix it" becomes more like "if it ain't broke... take it apart and figure out how to make it better" (which will of course sometimes lead to breaking it.. thus better justifying further work)

naw, if it ain't broke, fix it till it is.

[Asethet]

-When I plan how to use offcuts of aluminum for marker mods at work while I'm writing the cutting list for a job.

-When I stuff up a job at work because I'm thinking more about circuit diagrams for a marker board when I should have been concentrating on my payed employment.

-When my lunch break is a time to put all that planning into practice rather than eating.

I really should just get a job at a paintball shop.

[VIKING!]

the first time you get out of bed to go to work... and step on a nice sharp strand of aluminum shavings.

[tonycon]

while you are sleeping and you have a dream that solves the problem you are having... and it works when you wake up! and i am guilty of trolling the b/s/t threads and craigslist constantly looking for markers that don't work for cheap. and when the ref's at your local field send noobs or others towards your truck to have your marker fixed.
