I give you guys a very "interesting" thread....I have'nt decided if I think this is "cool" or not, but my natural proclivity for tanks, gizmos, and anything that shoots projectiles made me take interest.
These guys make their own giant 1/6th scale RC tanks and rig them with painball guns in fully rotating turrets. Then they battle each other in fields n' stuff. Some hits count and some do'nt depending on the historical strengths of the tanks full size bretheren, they have some sort of point system going.

They're using really crappy paintball guns, but they're contructing the feed sytem themselves and it looks like everything is still trial and error. I think the build details for the tanks are very intersting. Someone need to tell them to hook up a Warp though, it might solve some of their feed problems!
I also found this sight: http://www.mark-1-tank.co.uk/index-1.html
These tanks dont fire paintballs but they look friggin' Uber realistic! I think a combo of one of these tanks with a paintball gun sytem in the turret would be pimp! At the very least I could chase squirrels with it
Well, if you dont like it, you have to admit it's "interesting"
