FlipBoardThis man made a tank designed for paintball. A paintball tank. An actual tank, to be used for games of paintball.
There are some design flaws, of course. The driver is completely exposed, which is unforgivable. Unsupported track is less reliable than supported track (example of supported versus unsupported). Also, given the rapid rate of fire in paintball warfare, a firing system that provides only 50 rounds seems foolhardy. But his most glaring error is failing to show us someone getting hit with a huge paintball from extremely close range. Show us people getting hurt, dammit!

Paint ball to the exxxtreme! Something tells me this kid has never gotten laid.
And yet, when I try to build a paint ball nuke, I've somehow violated some non-proliferation treaty.
*note to NSA – I do not build nukes.
I dig paintball..Did it in the Army, and always had a good time. Didn't like it enough to go to this extreme, but I can appreciate the
obsessionpassion…You should see the rack/swing in my basement. Testing the weight limit and durability to get it just right takes alot of time and energy.@UU: What are you talking about… he has a leather jacket
Why stop at a tank? How about a paint filled land mine? THAT would be cool.
Ahhh…Kettering University..the pride of glorious Flint Mi….and the bastion of geekdom…
If I made a paintball tank and God willing, I won’t, I would make it shoot full cans of paint and it would kill…just like in Home Alone, kind of.
Another oversight… dude spent all this time on a model tank – and he picked the f*cking losing side! U-S-A! U-S-A!
doogie, I thought the Rack/swing in your basement had a purpose other than paintball?
I laughed to myself when I thought of someone just running up and punching him in the face while he's driving that thing.
Matt, Tank Abbott says he misses you too, and he awaits you with open arms for a nice sweaty, man-titty hug if you think you kids can make this thing work.
@Grimey, sounds like I need to buy my-self a leather jacket.
Next Building Project: Life-like fuck doll to replace all the ass he is not getting and the ass he never did get.
@swany: In Flint, this guy has his pick of the fat ass honeys…he's a catch because he still has all his teeth…
plus, there's a Hooters AND a Deja Vu in Flint, so he could probaly pay for some ass…
Isn't it like a 95% chance that this guy will blow an arm off or something up there or shoot himself in the foot? There has to be an expiration date on that window LCPL, no?
What a loser!
/sitting on my couch watching the History channel. And Delta Company is not even on.
I bet he sold to a drug dealer. Why else would a white kid be in Flint, MI?
slow day?
Sounds like a good idea, until someone sticky grenades the tracking like in Saving Private Ryan. Then you just wait for the flame throwers to get you.
We are duly impressed with your detailed evaluation of the tank, Ufford. Now go out and kill something.
And I'd like to be there when he drives past the local VFW…
Foster…Australian for douche.

Surely he would have an easier time at Velvet Touch. Shit, give the guy $20 and he could collect a half dozen BJs (and at least as many STDs) along Dirt Hwy.
@TDFC:
I forgot about the VT!!!
Dirt, Dort…I think Dirt is better…
pretty soon they're gonna need to use tanks in flint town

Isn't his most glaring error the fact that he put fucking Nazi insignia on it?
You should've seen the Kappa Sig tank.
@reggid: No. That is the Balkenkreuz, a stylized version of the Iron Cross, which Germany has used as a wartime decoration since the late 1800's. They still use it today.

RBD:
I stand corrected — sort of, I guess. I mean, it's not like the guy's gonna shoot me or anything — wait, what?
By the way, RBD, did the Germans have WWII-era replica tanks in the late 1800s?
hey get off the guy for never getting laid. I bet building something so cool impressed the hell out of his imaginary girlfriend
Just before Oddball here starts to expound on the wonders of his creation, a little dog wanders up to inspect it. Would have been beautiful, baby, if the dog cocked a leg to express his opinion. "Woof, woof woof. That's my other dog imitation."
