He is not lying. Watching the episode now, and it was indeed an inteli with stickies on it. As soon as I saw it i started telling my girlfriend about them.

I was at an Anaheim Angels game on Sunday and they were using a paintball gun to shoot tshirts into the crowd. It looked exactly like a pb gun except the barrel was about 4 inches wide.

HA! I just saw it too and was coming to start a post. Yep, pretty cool but I have no idea how it got there. See, even the military thinks our stuff is good!

And I was wondering why AGD is out of safeties. These punks stockpiled them in some military warehouse and now we have to wait for the surplus sale in order to get them again. :tard:

Meanwhile there is a mess of intelliframes being loaded onto submarines. Just wait till some seaman figures out he can shoot paintballs with these. We'll all be reading about the first paintball shotgun game at sea.

I'm still in the Navy, and team leader of my ships' VBSS team, and I have never seen or heard of that. Hopefully, we will get one soon...

Now that's cool. If the military uses it, they must know the awesomeness of it.

I just find that really funny that it's on a grappling-hook of all things. You don't see the military using Smart Parts stuff now do you?

I'm going to go post this on another forum now!

Hah, they could make an Ion that shoots 17 grappling hooks a second, then breaks.

I want to play with one of those grappling hook things in a paintball game. Rip down someone's bunker, then light 'em up!

$200 for a hammer....
$600 for a toilet seat...
$100 for a intelliframe...

yeah, that's about right.
