Is there any kind of material that could be used to make a gun clear/transparent. I think it'd be pretty sweet to just see the internals and stuff inside a sorta tough plastic shell.

this is kind of the wrong place to post this it should be in paintball ideas but

manufacture and it would be really hard to make on you own

Lexan for sure. I agree that it would be cool to see the gun's internals working.

I think the main thing no one understands, is that even if you  did make a see through material into a paintball gun, it would not be transparent for long.  With the tight fit of the bolt in the gun, scratches would start to show up immediately.  After a while, it would just look like a scratched up peice of glass in the shape of a paintball gun.

Hah, I used to have a Stingray II Ghost.  Loud as hell and had an insanely heavy trigger pull.

I thought about that, and wondered why no company thought of it, but i never thought of the scratches

Stingray II ICE is the top one, Talon Ghost is the bottom one. I used to buy those from guys looking to upgrade to a Tippmann at the pro-shop for like $10 for the Stingrays and $5 for the Talons. If they worked, we sold them in bulk on e-bay, if not, I saved up parts to build 'refurbished' ones. We did a stock-class speedball game with a bunch of talons once. That was freaking hilarious!

I love BE pumps. I started with a group playing with Blades and Talons. I remember when a 200rd hopper could be filled, and at the end of the day you would still have 1/2 the hopper left.
