  • Sangatious, on 04/08/2008, -7/+218"regulation paintball tank?" Okay then, I'll make a regulation paintball surface to air missile.
  • snareguy17, on 04/08/2008, -3/+187Immediate reaction from anyone on the paintball field..."WHAT THE *****?!"
  • Hiki, on 04/08/2008, -2/+139less talking, more shooting.
  • Louis11, on 04/08/2008, -1/+109For regulation paintball planes?
  • lolnix, on 04/08/2008, -1/+83It's in the "Badass" clause, easily overlooked.
  • deadsenator, on 04/08/2008, -1/+78I understand the sentiment, but I think you'll want a surface to surface missile. Tanks don't fly much.
  • HairyGrapeNuts, on 04/08/2008, -2/+77How the ***** is a tank under 'regulation' in paintball?
  • inactive, on 04/08/2008, -1/+75That's cute... but it pales in comparison to my regulation paintball nuclear submarine.
  • JordanTW90, on 04/08/2008, -1/+70I'd drive that ***** everywhere, invest in an orange triangle and drive that ***** to the store.
  • cantaclaro, on 04/08/2008, -7/+62Maybe you guys questioning the "regulation" remark in the description should actually watch the ***** video.

    He says that at a paintball field that he has been to before they had "paintball tanks" that were really golf carts with guys shooting paintballs. This complies to the rules of that field and is thus a "regulation paintball tank". Smart-asses trying to berate the poster usually get burnt.

    I think this is awesome.
  • pcslugster, on 04/08/2008, -5/+51Now THAT's bad ass.
  • lolnix, on 04/08/2008, -1/+40Where's the "regulation" paint RPG?
  • inactive, on 04/08/2008, -1/+35Get out the paint landmines.
  • Dochtuir, on 04/08/2008, -0/+34You could totally pick up chicks in a tank.
  • Aidenf77, on 04/08/2008, -2/+35He better watch out for my *paint* sticky bombs!
  • jtscira, on 04/08/2008, -1/+29Looks young to be able to pull off a mechanical feat like that. Would love to see some build pictures. He has a bright future in the engineering field.
  • marklar69, on 04/08/2008, -4/+28Now thats gonna leave a mark!
  • BOFH2, on 04/08/2008, -2/+25I am guessing there is this invention called a regulator that might help, or a valve, just thinking out loud here.
  • DeadFox1, on 04/08/2008, -2/+24if you get to have a PaintBall tank, then *I get to have a Paintball RPG.
  • 471776, on 04/08/2008, -1/+22...to shoot down the regulation paintball F-35's?
  • FCD3FAULT, on 04/08/2008, -1/+20He'd still get owned in the face.
  • abtarhar, on 04/08/2008, -2/+20Immediate reaction from any sane person...RLH!
  • iofthestorm, on 04/08/2008, -1/+18Landmaster!
  • Azselendor, on 04/08/2008, -0/+17The ones that can fire regulation paintball ICBM's, hell yes.
  • Charlotte_Web, on 04/08/2008, -1/+17What exactly is a "regulation" paintball tank?
  • dunbone, on 04/08/2008, -2/+17Head Shot!! I'd snipe his head.
  • Vapor17, on 04/08/2008, -3/+17the comment doesn't get better when u change the number
  • xDynaBlade, on 04/08/2008, -2/+16I think he forgot to shoot it.
  • 22magnum, on 04/08/2008, -1/+14its just you.
  • parallax7d, on 04/08/2008, -1/+14They would, if there were balloons full of paint lying around on the ground.
  • redsoxmb545, on 04/08/2008, -3/+16Buried. They're not gonna show us it in use? Lame.
  • duzytata, on 04/08/2008, -0/+13"Foster's predilection for tinkering -- his 1986 Chevy Silverado was rescued from a junkyard and now has a 10-inch lift and 37-inch wheels -- is endearing to girlfriend Heidi Clark, a recent Kettering graduate who has also helped problem solve and build the tank."

    Looks like he's doing fine in that area as well.
  • Tollboi, on 04/08/2008, -1/+14I have only played paint ball a few times, but I think what he means by "regulation" is the speed the paintballs fly from the gun. Every time I have played before you go out to the field, you shoot at a target and a radar gun tells you how fast your paintballs are flying and you dial it in to the regulation speed.
  • ccxftw, on 04/08/2008, -0/+12That's only because it had to meet paintball tank regulations.
  • inactive, on 04/08/2008, -1/+13Do a barrel roll!
  • NEUTRINO50, on 04/08/2008, -1/+12no paint IED jokes eh?
  • Balath, on 04/08/2008, -2/+13I'd like to see how a scuba tank affects a scuba diver according to your logic.
  • markajanssen, on 04/08/2008, -1/+12"You splattered Paintballplayer007."
  • phybere, on 04/08/2008, -2/+12panzer parking only.
    excellent.
  • Treblex, on 04/08/2008, -1/+11Now build a paintball helicopter and your good to go for total domination.
  • Coffeedemon, on 04/08/2008, -1/+11Thats what I was thinking. Get that stuck in the trees or something and you're asking for it. Paint grenade down the hatch.
  • Zipko, on 04/08/2008, -1/+11I really want to play one of the massive battles that has these. A guy I work with went to one that had 3000 people playing in a reenactment of Normandy. He said he got destroyed by one of these. He saw a tank coming from behind him and thought it was a friendly one coming to reinforce the line. so he turned his attention back to the front and all of the sudden it opened up on him and he got nailed in the back a couple times.
  • Azselendor, on 04/08/2008, -0/+9welcome to weltsville, population: you.
  • jemka, on 04/08/2008, -0/+9The reason for building the tank had nothing to do with getting his ass kicked in paintball.
  • vondrak, on 04/08/2008, -2/+11Normally you'd be right but, because this is a breach loaded canon...
  • mGARANDEUR1, on 04/08/2008, -1/+10He did a really good job with the camo. The paint looks very much like a late war German Panzer.
  • gtownplaya, on 04/08/2008, -0/+7screw balloons give them paint ball guns, haha
  • KennMac, on 04/08/2008, -0/+7Nice job on the tank and all... but 3 full minutes and you get to see the thing fire only once, shooting in the air, out of view. I thought for sure we'd get to see this thing annihilate someone or something.
  • Enasni1212, on 04/08/2008, -0/+7You laugh, but a friend of mine made one of those. Compressed air and a pressure trip, it scared the ***** out of me, and I wasn't even the one that stepped on it.
  • mllawso, on 04/08/2008, -3/+10tank by itself on a paintball field = nuisance.
    tank providing close support to infantry = rolling death. Tank can "blow up" cover, and infantry can protect/hide behind the tank.
