right, so maximum (semi)accurate distance is a good number and elevate is important 
but I still don't think overall maximum distance is relevant unless you are worried 
about safety.  You aren't going to want to get a 45 degree angle so that you can lob 
paint the farthest.

I was playing paintball saturday and I had newbies trying to lob paint at me from 
way out of range.  Paint is less likely to break in that situation (at least on a 
person).   Some people even go as far as wearing ghillie (spelling?) suits partially 
for camo, and partially for reducing breaks on the body.
Which I think is a cheap cheat.
So I had an idea - someone showed a picture of a tank or something that had cages 
around it so that incoming fire would detonate before hitting the vehicle.  

Frank, a netting around the tank to "catch" paintballs - legal or illegal?

I'm full of stupid idea and I don't even have a complete tank. :)

I guess you can argue that the grates wouldn't do anything against other tanks and 
it was only designed for RPGs?
