Paintball Panzer

This is absolutely amazing! I love playing paintball, and this adds a whole new element to the game.

Apparently this idea started off as a personal hobby, but when the creator saw how much interest there was in it he decided to go into business making paintball tanks. This 9,000lb 7ft long vehicle is capable of firing 15 pellets per second from its front-mounted “cannon”, or can be switched to “scattergun” mode to take out several people in one go. It even has a remote cutoff, where a marshall can decide to disable the tank via remote control if he decides it has taken enough hits to “destroy” it.

So, any paintall players out there, would you like your local site to have these? Paintball sites are being encouraged to buy them in pairs to keep the game fair, but I guess the best way to get a shot is to pester the life out of your local paintball arena until they buy some

Anyone near Edinburgh – get on to Bedlam and Go Ballistic… make them buy some today!

Update: And here’s the Paintball Panzer’s official site.
