weelllll it actually started as a Covenanter that had to be cut down to improve it's 
performance...then it seemed I could get a four channel tx & rx VERY cheap so tank 
destroyer style it became....it has become too much fun to take apart and remodel....

Home made paintball gun, 15 second pressure reload 20 degrees elevation 18 shot 
gravity feed capacity (.68 cal) The only commercial guns I can get here are amazing, 
the bloke quoted 35 shots per second (can this be true ?) and they cost $650.00aud 
which is true...
The compressor & the motors all run from the same 12v 7ah battery, I have run it fo 
45 mins without it stopping but the pressure takes a bit longer after that time.
The drill motors were aquired from th Ryobi factory here in Perth, I told them what 
I was building and they gave me four drills for half a carton of Crown Larger (coin 
of the realm here). The whole thing weighs about 18 kilos all up.
