Paintball Gattling Gun (eBay again)

[Victor]

Surely this can't be real?

Assuming it is, that is the coolest thing I've seen in months. OK, except my new road bike, but I'm biased.

[Victor]

I just can't see how that could be possible. And I can see brass shells in the ammo belt.

[CamB]

You're right:

Do they have shells with paint in them instead of lead or whatever?

[CamB]

We call them soft air guns - little six mm diameter plastic BBs. It appears the backpack holds a crapload of BBs and a compressed air source.

Pretty cool nevertheless.

Are AirSoft guns legal in NZ, Cam?

I owned a couple while I lived in Japan and they are great fun.

[CamB]

Yeah.

As it says - over 18 and not full auto.

I had a huge, steel-bodied Desert Eagle .44 and a Walther PPK with silencer. I was almost crying that I couldn't bring them home!

I gave them both to a neighbour in Japan before I left. They were huge fun for plinking at cans or newspaper targets.
