       5 . The work table of  claim 3  wherein the flexible support layer extends below the table top when the table top is traversed to an open position and disposed between first and second halves of the table top when the table top is traversed to a folded position. 
   
   
       6 . The work table of  claim 1  wherein the paintball helmet cavity is a second aperture formed in the table top with a flexible support layer attached to an inner peripheral portion of the second aperture for supporting the paintball helmet. 
   
   
       7 . The work table of  claim 6  wherein the flexible support layer of the paintball helmet cavity extends below the table top when the table top is traversed to an open position and disposed between first and second parts of the table top when the table top is traversed to a folded position. 
   
   
       8 . The work table of  claim 6  wherein the flexible support layer extends sufficiently below the table top so the paintball helmet does not protrude above the table top when the paintball helmet is disposed in the paintball helmet cavity and the work table to traversed to the unfolded position. 
   
   
       9 . The work table of  claim 1  wherein the paintball pod carry suspender is a first elastic band attached to an outer peripheral portion of the table top and the first elastic band forms a plurality of slots for inserting individual paintball pods. 
   
   
       10 . The work table of  claim 9  wherein the table top includes a rim, the first elastic band being attached to the rim to form the plurality of slots for inserting individual paintball pods. 
   
   
       11 . The work table of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of legs is four legs foldably disposed at corners of the table top. 
   
   
       12 . A work table for preparing and/or storing paintball equipment including a paintball gun between paintball scrimmages, the work table comprising:
 a table top;   a plurality of legs attached to the table top for raising the support table above a surface; and   a paintball gun cavity formed in the table top for supporting the paintball gun, the paintball gun cavity comprising:
 a first aperture formed in the table top with a flexible support layer attached to an inner peripheral portion of the first aperture; and 
 a rigid support disposed below the table top and generally aligned to the first aperture; 
 wherein the flexible support layer and the rigid support provides support for the paintball gun. 
   
   
   
       13 . The work table of  claim 12  wherein the table top is foldable into a compact configuration, and further comprises a handle attached to the table top for carrying the folded work table. 
   
   
       14 . A work table for refilling paintball pods between paintball scrimmages, the work table comprising:
 a table top;   a plurality of legs attached to the table top for raising the support table above a surface; and   a paintball pod carry suspender attached to the table top for holding the paintball pods in an upright position for reloading of the paintball pods, the paintball pod carry suspender comprising:
 a first elastic band attached the table top at a plurality of locations for forming slots sized and configured to receive the paintball pods. 
   
   
   
       15 . The work table of  claim 14  wherein the paintball pod carry suspender further comprises a second elastic band attached to the table top at opposed distal end portions of the first elastic band for providing additional support to the paintball pods. 
   
   
       16 . The work table of  claim 15  wherein the table top further comprises a rim, and the first and second elastic bands are attached to the rim.
