Who wouldn't want to see this Monster Garage?!

[Jerhew]

oooh
i got it!
an early bronco...66-77
small, maneuverable...100% stylish
have the headlights flip down to reveal remote control pb guns
and you could just make it a half cab(or no top at all...)
that way you could have some sort of remote control turret raise out of the bed

[BradAGD]

I'm thinking Jerhew is on the right path...small 4x4.

Doing the Miata will be cool, in a James Bond's last movie kind of way.

Well thats what I thought we were talking about, a Big senerio game. Let go big, Tippman already has a crappy Pilot, and I've heard that it doesn't even shoot. If this thing ws done right AGD could have some serious publicity. I think Jesse James would love to drive the beast in a huge Senerio game.

[BradAGD]

DUH...

I've got it! A Jeep Wrangler! That would rule!

[BradAGD]

Jesse Vs. Shatner, the next Monster Garage.

What would Shatner use though? Guess he can co-pilot the Hell Hound?

Seriously, how about Jesse James for a general at the game? He might just do it.

I would say go for like a small 4 wheel drive car. Like a Subaru or something. Or a Dune Buggy, lol.

A Hummer/H2 would be just too damn big for paintball tank.

[rkjunior303]

An old Jeep CJ would be perfect. Open top for a turret and plenty big.. Maybe a 4-Runner? Jesse could be the X-Factor in Spplat Attack. Mercinary for hire.

Well I support the use of a Wrangler...


but imho no warwagon is complete without a large weapons system. and since im the local expert of gatling guns here I propose a turret mounted -real- Paintball gatling gun... not this trash they claim is a gatling gun cause it has rotating barrels.

A real gatling gun has a set of rotating bolts that slide along 2 diffrent tracks that either automaticly load the munitions or allow them to clear without firing. -hence the gatling principle-


Anyhow if this happened I want to see this thing be a beast with a couple new designs added on to it. Im sure we all saw the dumb woodchipper-car episode and how badly jessie hated the basicness of cramming a prefab chipper into a car. This beast should be a monster and include stuff from the entire industry, Trumping the show with all AGD or all Orr stuff would just drive the industry further apart

First of all i'd just like to state that i used to believe the same way that you did until i researched the working of the gatling gun, however, i believe you to be incorrect. the original gatling gun had only one chamber and bolt where the thebarrels spun around it. You see in the civil war at the time of production of normal gun metal was of less quality and when the rifle was fired too rapidly the barrels heated up, thus reducing the accuracy.

So Gatling though Hey! if i make a gun with rotating barrels this will keep each barrel cooler, and thus increasing accuracy at a higher ROF.

THat was the original intintion of the gatling gun, later in the war rifles were developed that have up to 20 barrels lined up in a row, fanning outward, with one percussion cap. When the cap was struck it sparked into a tray of power lined up behind the barrels, making the gun more affective and more accurate.

TOday in paintball, however, we do not have the problem of the barrel up, do to the fact that we do not use explosives to launch our projectiles forward. So while your accusations are wrong, you have the best design for a turret mounted paintball 'gatling' gun

tom could sponsor it with free e-mags and whanot

am68leb:

yeah your right on alot of that...

But before I conceed defeat, I bring up the point I maintain 30+ F-16's and their weapons systems... to include the M61A1 gatling gun. All my practical knowledge is based on modern gatling guns due do my intimate knowldge of them.

now on to where your correct:

the first gatling guns did not have a second cam path that allowed clearing, its a wonder of modern firearms technology and the true reason the gatling gun has resurfaced after decades in mothballs

the true reason for the gatling principle is to spread out the load of firepower over multiple barrels to reduce the warping that occurs due to excessive heat. Paintball does indeed lack this need for heat reduction. So the actuall need for it to be "gatling" is frivilious and over kill... but this is where the beauty and insane cool factor come in



My complaint is about nearly every paintball gatling gun out there in the world.... all of the ones I have ever seen have been little more than a heavly covered single gun with a wirling ring of nonused barrels to mask a standard marker inside.

If i was to build one (which eventually I plan on doing just for $#!%$ and Grins) It would basicly work on the General Electric M61A1 or M-134 concept and use AGD valves in place of the standard breechbolt... Call me an eccentric bastard but eventually I will build this monster to sit along with my spudguns

[rkjunior303]

well if anyone can build a barrel system that matches the speed of an E/X Mag would be pretty damn cool with that thing spinning while its ripping off 6-12rps...

[am68leb]

i'm glad we are pretty much in agreement, ed.

[edweird]

hehehe yeah I just get picky when I see stuff like that... silly me.


am68leb: thanks for keeping me shooting straight :P after all I dont want to mislead anyone

Oh and for the rest of you.... for Historic heavly armed Jeeps, nothing compares to the ones the SAS used in africa during WW2

My gatling guns will be rotating barrels, 6 to be exact. Each valve will shoot 12 bps, that's 72 bps overall, that's 4320 per minute. I do agree that the Tippmann gun probably doesn't work as a true rotating gatling gun too.

I've got the bodies at the shop, just need to get the other parts done and assembled. I've been hoping to show at a tourny with them and surprise Tom. Maybe one day.

one problem with the gun though, you can shoot anywhere. FA isn't allowed anyway, especially at they rate of fire. My idea is to block off the feed on 5 barrels so only one barrel actually fires a ball. That way you get the sound of 6 guns firing but only one firing a ball. You make it run 9 bps for one barrel and the gun is not firing 9 bps but sounding like 54 bps. Make sense?

let's get this gun built, find a vehicle to put it on and then challenge Tippmann to a duel. That's been me and Kayle's plan for years.
