| 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
yes lexan would work i dont know quite how much it would cost to 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. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

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. |

Wow I feel dumb espically since my brother has a smoke/clearish b.e. talon pump at home. I forgot all about it till those pics were posted. |

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

I believe there is also a "Stingray II Ice" -------------

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! ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

| 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. |

Oh, I love some good old-school BE markers. I mean, I'm not saying that I'd do anything illegal here, but I'd KILL somebody, in front of their OWN MOTHER for a B.E. Poison or Golden Eagle....... ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |
