Danny “Gunz” Gucciardi

            Dan was the first of our group to take up paintball.  He was introduced to it by some former work friends and then proceeded to snatch up high school buddy, Tim Yoder soon thereafter.  Dan is an original member of Steel Reserve and the prior named Team Armpit.  Like Tim, Dan got into scenario ball in the summer of 2002 at Challenge Park.  Dan has been the team demo since the start of it all because of his expertise with all things explosive.  Dan has a quiet confidence that hides his quickness on the field.  Notorious for taking head shots, Dan is sometimes a little too quick on the field easily out running his cover fire.  Dan’s nickname comes from his real gun collection locked up at home as well as his competence with fixing and adjusting paintball guns and LAW launchers.  Also, notice his two tickets to the “gun show” he calls his arms.

A message from Danny Gunz Tactical Equipment:

I also make all of my own gear and I have developed some expertise with a sewing machine.  I make everything as tough as possible and quality is my number one concern.  If you need any custom gear made send me an email because I can make pretty much anything out of cordura.  For example, if you have an odd piece of equipment no one else makes a pouch for, I can take care of that.  I can also modify any existing gear.  If you don’t like the pockets on your vest or wished they had placed them a little differently I can take care of that too.  I also have access to quite a few different colors and patterns of fabric, so if you want a certain camouflage that no one else is selling I can probably get that taken care of as well.  If you need anything made my prices are reasonable and vary depending on the complexity of the project and materials cost.  If you are looking for something, send me an email about what you want and we can go from there.
