A sabot is a depleted uranium shell that is fired from a tank..., not the cheapest (or safest) thing you could use for paintball :P

If you wanted to fling globs of paint, get a crappy gun and horrible paint and watch it all chop out the barrel at people

just tried some prototyping junk with it. you're right, it doesn't work, the
paint gummed it up like nothing else. i've scrapped the idea and moved
on to other, more predictable (and working) stuff, like sabot cannons

if youve never used a pressure washer before its not accurate and the water seems to not go further than ten feet.  I would enjoy mowing down people with your contraption

In everyother flamethrower thread, someone has sujested a powerwasher.

Your idea is not new or fresh. Its old and skanky. Just let the idea die.

Well the paint mix will wreck it after a while.

Overall. It won;t work. Mainly becuase I believe most powerwashers run off motors.

I know all you folks will want to smack me for bringing up this old and
overused topic, but i want to run an idea by you, as this is a project i have
been working on for a while. I'm open for any modifications or
improvements you might have in mind.
-light power pressure washer
-small battery pack
-tub of watered down fingerpaint

working on both a frame for just carrying and a go-cart mount, but it
may prove to be wa-hay too heavy to lug around on your back
