HvZ Sock Grenade Tubes, aka "Pro Tubes"

Back in the old days of HvZ, say 2007-2012, players were limited to crappy pre-Elite N-Strike blasters. To supplement human firepower many players used blowguns and sock grenades. Some players who focused on grenades but did not fall under the traditional “Grenadier” class became what are known now as “Sock Ninjas”. Essentially these are light, fast scout type players who would run with a minimal loadout, no blasters – and relied exclusively on socks. 

One of the tools of the Sock Ninja trade which seems to have fallen out of popularity was the “Pro Tube”. Essentially players would fill empty tennis ball tubes with their sock grenades. First it was the cheap little/short disposable tubes that came with the balls - you would mount several on your belt and fill them with balled-up socks.

  

Later the pinnacle of Sock Grenade carrying-capability was achieved with the discovery of the Tennis Ball Pick-Up Tube. This is a long tube with rubber bands or a rubber cap at one end, and an opening at the other with a small rubber gasket. It features a shoulder strap and it’s easily accessible.

 So to bring it back into the NERF/HvZ lexicon, here is an HvZ “Pro Tube”. These run for between 20-30 dollars, depending on store and quality.
