Paintball SHOTGUN! REAL

well me and my friend are converting a cheap point zero beetle pump into a shotgun. We are modifying the bolt so that it fires paint without the shell. if possible i will try to get a video up on the internet. We just started so dont be expecting results soon! by teh way i am MKB98C and i lost my password, and the lost password system is a dead end (ahem, admins plz fix)

Why don't you make it to where it fires like five paintballs at one time? It would travel longer distances.

Well since your using a BEagle, it would be the pump arm.

So let me guess,

• You have something to shred the ball in the barrel
• you are loading multiple balls in the barrel

I've seen kids do that to other peoples gun at tournaments, or degass them a bit or even take the whole barrel, so one kid turn the ASA off and  put holes in the macro line.


It doesn't matter, The Guy's idea is waaaaaay better than a PB shotgun, he's got that boomstick.

I have a old shotty(didn't work) and I removed the barrel and made a small spud gun fit into it, I can't get the valve thang into the trigger area, and I can't make a loader for it yet, so it's un-tested, because it's ugly, I may have to deem it a failed experiment, but this is a nice idea to start with, we used old defomed paint we got for cheap which does spread and fly in random directions like a shotty, just go to a shop and ask for ooooooold paint, either that or get cheap blue streak or something from WAL*MART.

or wat i was thinking, if you could get an empty paintball shell, then fill it with as many 6mm paintballs as u can.  the big paintball shell would have to somehow break open as it leaves the gun.  then the 6mm paintballs would spread apart.

3 round burst. except it needs to shoot them at the same time....

Yeah dude, those things never break.

If you want a true shotgun, you are gonna have to switch to different diameter barrel. Like 1.5"

hahahaahahahahahhahah

maybe more like something like a metal net that has hole just big even for the paint to spread out but small enough to hold the shell, and maybe after each shot like you can put a hindge near the end so when it gets full u can empty it.

Because some people like variety. I for one get tired of always fireing a .22, so I moved up to a 9MM, then to a .45, then to a .223, then to 20 guage, then to 12 guage, and the occasional 30-06 M1 garand. People like changes, not just the same thing over and over again.
