Hellhound Paintball ATV

tuxtattoo writes: "I was talking to a buddy of mine tonight, and he told me about a paintball ATV made by Tippmann. it's called the Hellhound, and it's got everything you need for a nice day at the paintball field. Some of its features include a variable speed trigger which is attached to a high speed, 10 barrel, 50 rounds/second cannon. it also comes equipped with 2 side mounted tippmann model 98's (that would be 2 more paintball guns one on each side :), a 6,000 round hopper, heavy duty winch, and not to forget the what looks to be a self fed grenade launcher. there are many other features that come standard with this model, but NO floor mats or cup holders." I think this has been around for a while, but I played paintball yesterday (and I'm feeling it today) so this submission just seems apropos.

10 barrels?

It's got a minigun attached. A minigun. A fscking minigun.

All I want to know is "where can I get one?"

Run away, run away...

Battlemechs with paintball markers?

i sure hope you Emacs users are reading today... while those vi-loving sops are gloating about saved keystrokes and small core memory footprints, we can spray them silly with more paintballs than they can count.

Re:How does this affect the game?

Obviously this ATV is pretty darn cool but I don't see how it could be used in a game situation without making the odds against "infantry" grossly unfair.

Well, the infantry can feel free to use their paint-filled, shoulder-launched missiles, not to mention their fully stocked paintball bombers with rainbow cluster bombs.

I wonder...

if it's street legal. THAT could be fun. I'm sure you'd have no problem with traffic sporting what looks like a practice tank for the army.

• It's got a minigun attached

No! You fool! It's a "marker", not a "gun". You'll ruin years of our hard work in trying to persuade people that paintball is a sport for all, not some extreme para-military NRA freakshow, and besides...

Ah, the hell with it.

This thing is awesome! Look at the firepower! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

Other Fine Paint Ball Hardware Ideas

1. Paint Can Mortar. Take a can of your favorite brand of paint and drop it into the mortar. It launches it up to a mile away. Of course, the can hitting an opponent can leave a mark, but you KNOW you hit him.

2. Paint Flame Thrower. Fill a tank with paint of your choice. Feed the paint into a high pressure washer. You get the idea. Just regulate the stream so that you don't cut someone in half.

3. Paint Throwing Stars. Dip a paint brush into a can of paint and fling it at someone. Fast, effective.

4. Paint Booby Traps. Dig a 6 foot deep pit, install sharp stakes at the bottom. Dip the tip of each sharpenned stake into paint (to keep it legal). Very effective.

5. Paint Carpet Bombing. Fly a B-52 over the gaming area and drop 20,000 cans of paint. Sure to make your enemies sit up and take notice.

Anyone think of others?

Special Delivery! Fill an envelope with paint and mail it to your enemy. If they happen to inhale the paint, GOTCHA!

Jonny's Super-Duper Al-Qaeda Paintball Technique: Fill a 747 with paint and fly it into your enemy's base.

Just a couple off the top of my head.
