Yes they do, electric and gas-fed airsoft guns are available.  I know in the
UK they retail for about £200-£300.  How do I know? I've got my sights set
on either an electric MP5 or a Colt Ar15....nice.

     An unlimited stream of full-auto bb's might also give a tactical 
advantage too. Even the plastic ones hurt. If I knew the other guy could be 
snapping strings of it my way, I'd be standing further away from the target 
(my tank) to avoid getting lit up. That would make precision maneuvering and

aiming more difficult, giving my opponent an advantage. Not to mention with 
solid projectiles there is the risk of real damage occuring to the vehicles.

Acrylic is brittle and might shatter, I'm not real familiar with bondo but 
suspect it could be damaged, not to mention all the plywood. Of course, I 
have seen hard rubber bb's that are vaguely soft.
     Heck, we could all switch from paintguns to full-auto .177 pellet guns 
and duke it out until one vehicle or the other is actually disabled! I'm 
kidding by the way.
     This idea intruiges me. I think it would add some more realism (and be 
cool too). What do you guys think would be the best way to get the parts? 
Buy a used airsoft gun off Ebay and rip it's guts out? Do they sell 
full-auto airsoft guns?
