Ahh, you say that, but you'll note from the article that this started in 1991 in the US... :;): :laugh:

Paintball, yes. But the new elemet is the tank.  :;):

I'm not an expert of modern AFVs but it said in the article it's a FV432 with a 30mm Rarden gun turret. These were originaly assigned to the Berlin Brigade.

Interestingly enough, the only PIC of said variant I could find is from CinC webshop.  :)

Actually, I think that there was a group out in Oklahoma or thereabouts that was using mechanized vehicles a few years back.  The new bit, however, is the paintball cannon....and the fact that they only fight tank vs tank.  Too dangerous for infantry, although it would be kinda neat to go after a tank with a paint-bazooka!  :D

I've never really been interested too much in paintball, but throw in a couple of AFVs... sign me up!  :D

Now this does look like awesome fun...but paintball isn't the same without the prospect of enormous bruises!

Well, I for one wouldnt want to venture outside the armor while those things are shooting...a head shot with one of those could possibly kill you...at the very least really mess you up.  Now, what they could do, is to not allow the main gun shooting, and use secondary weaponry instead.  That would allow for combined arms operation without the danger of a supersonic ping-pong ball to the skull... :0

Good work M/J !  Yes, the FV432 is the UK = US M113 ! And IIRC the turret is was used on the Scorpion also !

Now, all we have to do is figure out how to make a less-dangerous 'main gun' than an overgrown spudgun shooting pingpong balls, and we can do real combined ops!

You brits are lucky.  The liability insurance would wipe out anyone that tried that in the US!
