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 ------------- l337 sp33k 1z fØr pØz3rz |

Well the paint mix will wreck it after a while. Overall. It won;t work. Mainly becuase I believe most powerwashers run off motors. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

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. |

| 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 |

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 ------------- l337 sp33k 1z fØr pØz3rz |

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 -------------

here a pic of the SABOT tank round
The 120mm M829 Armor Piercing, Fin Stabilized, Discarding Sabot-Tracer(APFSDS-T), cartridge is a US developed kinetic energy (KE) armor defeating round. It consists of a fin stabilized subprojectile with a six bladed aluminum fin, a tracer assembly attached to the rear of the fin and a depleted uranium (DU) penetrator with a ballistic tip to reduce drag. The propulsion system uses an obturating case base with combustible wall. This growth potential round features a modern technology high length to diameter (L/D), depleted uranium penetrator, and lightweight sabot. The cartridge weight is 41.1 lbs. The major components of the M829 are: And thats why not to use a sabot ------------- When my A-5 starts shoting I think you sould duck. |

I had a paintthrower idea as well, so here's my idea. Hook up a garden hose with a paint tank and a CO2 tank, then, hav an on/off setup and turn it on to shoot paint and turn it off not to shoot, first I have to find out if the hose can contain 1000 psi though.... -------------

oooo ur dead if the girl finds u..... ( in your sig mean ) As far as the paint thrower... i dont see you luggung around a tub of paint and a pressure washer around the feeld. the range is SMALL so you would have RUN with it to get close enough to hit anything. while you are running, tripping, and eating dirt, ull be painted up with quite a few balls before you can scream "im hit".ratulate the inventiveness Most likelly youll ruin the pressure washer too... but i congratulate the inventiveness with in you! I SWET I THAUGHT OF IT BEFORE I SAW THE STUFF ON INTERNET! lol and the stuff on the internet is barelly equvilant to ONE coke bottle. i have 3 and a half :D |

I got an idea. Get a paintbrush, dip it in mashed up paintballs, and strap it to your waist. You can call it a paintball Bowie knife. Just run up, and 'slash' someone with your 'knife'.
Or just shoot them from 60 feet.  ------------- "Stultum est queri de adversis, ubi culpa est tua." (It's stupid to complain about misfortune that is your own fault.) -- Syrus |

1. u would need liek a car batery to run the thing or a gass engine 2. sprayyign paiint will never outrange a piantball gun. unless u had like a riot hose or something, and that would blow your head off. 3. how long woudl it take u to get shot running around with a go kart frame on your back, along with the added weight of the couple gallons of paint and a battery or engine. 4. the paint woudl just destroy the motor. just make a grenade launcher. so much simpler and more effiencnt |

| How people came up with the idea of a paintthrower is beyond me. The very thought of something like that irratates me. Paintballers are losing thier skills by the minute and this idea is just another terrifying reminder of that. If you want to make a device that could wipe out an entire team in the hands of a newborn then go for it. But knock off the forum posts. I'm not bragging about any "skills" I may have, honestly I suck pretty bad. But using a paintthrower to end a barrage of opponents would only make me feel worse. That's my opinion though. |

Well heres the design for a paint thrower. And as far as using it to wipe out a barrage of opponents, these are only used at scenarios. And if you do use one of these, your gonna get a suicide squad coming after ya. Obviosly don't use the flammable version of this. It's a very simple a feesable contraption.

Klaus as a good Idea. Use a handheld pump to shoot that paint out..

| here is an idea. kind of goes with the paint thrower idea. Build yourself a small catapult or trebuchet. in the sling put between 25 and like 100 paintballs. then fire. it goes over tree and most open topped barriers. only works in rec ball or woodsball. if done properly it can hit like 15 people if they are grouped kind of close together. and it does work. because it uses a sling you don't break very many paintballs when firing and you can cover a lot of ground with paint. |

A couple of guys were behind that black netting you see there firing down on our area. We couldn't hit them with a marker and couldn't get in position with a LAW to take it out...but the paintthrower worked just fine. ------------- New to the sport? http://www.b17queenofthesky.com/paintball/index.html">

For the Uber Ideas sticky at the top of the forum:
In other words you should have not made a new post at all, or bumped a 3 year old post on the subject. The subject of paint throwers is not a welcome one on this forum. Period. For future reference, if you have searched and there is a thread on the topic that is more than a month or two old do not bump it. Mention that you searched, and reference the other topic. -------------

Thanks Snake, I'll keep that in mind for next time. I would like to add though that the quote from the U.F.A.Q. doesn't expressly forbid the subjuct just that you will, as is probably the case with the whole "paintball sniper" conversation, will breed debate. Again, I will remember to next time reference the old thread rather than bump it but as the picture shows it can be done and there are times when they can be used effectively...though they are few and far between. ------------- New to the sport? http://www.b17queenofthesky.com/paintball/index.html">
