It was called the "Hellhound", not really a "tank" as I dont think half of it worked.

No clue what happened to it.

P.S : This forum is for Ideas, this isnt one.

Some people came into the building and stole it along with the prototype of the new gun. So its delayed another year atleast.

Hehehe, starting rumors is fun.

Probably sitting in a very large closet somewhere... All it was was a promotional item to get people to say "Wow! Tippmann is way cool!", I don't think it was ever used in a game.
It seems like all the cool cats do this:
Custom 98, Flatline, r/t, CAR stock, custom camo paintjob, which every hopper I feel like putting on it, vertical adapter, oh dibs, I'm running out of charact

I think it is in display just to see what can be done with some hard thinkers and a few tools. I think it would be fun to drive and shoot. I want to see it shoot and feed the 50 something bps into that canon. If you search the internet, you ccan find the pictures again.

The last time it was mentioned (sometime last year), it was sitting on display outside the Exotic Sportz store in Michigan.

evil_fingers is right. its is sitting in the front of the store at ExoticSportz. I was at exoticsportz saturday and saw it. the 10 gun barrel is just a drill.

It's really cool to look at, but think about the it in a practical way. I heard that it does chop paint quickly, because the drill (spins the ten barrels) might be spinning at a different rate as the two cyclones. So, why not just use two A-5s? If you want to make something that resembles the Hellhound, that's my suggestion. Tippmann probably used a ten barrel gatling gun just because it looks tougher .

The SpecialOps Razorback is nothin new to look at, its looks more like a Special Forces fighting vehicle which also nothin new to look at as well, as for the Tippmann Hell Hound its World known.

I rather have this thread bumped up than having another person asking the same question in a new thread about the Hell Hound all over again.
