This is the final version of the homemade stand that we created for the paintball gun.  We needed something that

would hold the gunsteady so that when we shot it, we would be assured that all the paintballs would be traveling

the same distance (vertically and horizontally).  To do this we determined what height we needed the barrel of the

gun at and then built a stand made from a plastic container, wood and duct tape to steady the gun.  The first version

of the gun stand had a cardboard box instead of the wood mounted under the barrel, but the cardboard started to

bend and became unreliable.  The duct tape also had to be reapplied several times.
