Orbital defence cannon

ok here is the plan *it'll never happen but it would be soooo cool* we send an orbital defence paintball gun into space, and when you get in one of them sticky little situations where your opponent is in a pretty fortified bunker and your traden fire with him, push ur little button and put in his coordinants while your hiden, and about 20 pounds of paintballs rains down on the little punk... i u know it wouldnt take any fun out of it, seeing that many paintballs raining down would make you smile from ear to ear, it may be cheap but it would be cool.

but like i said, unless your one board NASA worker, it aint gunna happen. it may look kinda like this... only orbiting earth in space

yea cept they wouldnt make it through the atmosphere

i say ICBPM or intercontinental ballistic paintball missile. i could launch a missile from russia and paintball nuke the bunker 50 yards away!

Dr. Evil Jr. here...

OOOOO!!! i have an idea, we can make a paintball shotgun that a sniper can use!

I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

For that matter, who was it who posted the 'paint nuke' a few months back? That was a hilarious thread.

wow that amazing but like you said it never gonna happen

#paintball already has con trol of Tippmann's Orbital Laser Platform. We've been bored carving smilies into the Canadian landscape.

The biggest problem with firing paintballs from space is that even if you do get it past the atmosphere, and after somehow keep it from freezing while it's traveling to the ground, the ball will be traveling so fast that it would go right through anything it hit, I.E. the play you are targeting.  Imagine taking your marker and jumping its speed to around 100,000+ fps, then shooting someone.  You're basically holding a fricken railgun.

so a tank in space? wheres it going to go with treads? uhhhh. Just giving you a hard time they wouldnt make re entry now if you could make a precise artillery then you would have to have it like a mortar to come in closer to a 90 degree angle(mortars or more deadly than artillery)
