A lid for a paintball container is disclosed which comprises a body, a means for connecting said lid to said paintball container, aa first opening to transfer at least one paintball from said container into the lid, a second opening to transfer at least one paintball to outside of the lid; and a rotatable door for controlling the release of a paintball. The advantages of the present invention are that said lid can be operated rapidly and single handedly. It is a further advantage of the invention, that the lid does not require an adaptor or collar for use with the hopper of a paintball gun, the collar portion of the lid of the present invention being inserted into the hopper prior to opening thus preventing any individual paint balls being spilled during transfer from the pod to the desired location via the lid.

A shotgun shell carrier includes two clips on opposite ends of a bracket, for holding two shells end to end. Each clip has a shell end compartment for receiving an end portion of a shelf. Each clip has a hood that extends over the shell end compartment to block longitudinal movement of the shell out of the clip.

A holder device for holding objects includes a holder body, a moveable carrier element, and a force generating system tending to move the carrier element in a first direction to a first position when the carrier element is in a second position away from the first position. The carrier element constitutes a trough having a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the first direction, a wider area closer to a bottom of the trough, and a narrower area farther from the bottom of the trough. When the carrier element is in the first position, a rim of the holder body closes the trough so that the objects cannot be moved in the longitudinal direction to and from the trough. When the carrier element is in the second position, the objects can be moved in the longitudinal direction to and from the trough.

A dispenser for BBs eliminates binding because the BBs first fill into a groove of the dispenser that is only wide enough to hold BB's single file. The remaining BBs fall back into the main cavity of the dispenser, allowing the BBs in the groove to pass through the dispenser hole one-by-one.
