I've been curious about the 6mm Airsoft paintballs. Can they be fired from
an electric gun, or do they require gas ?

        Thanks,
        Doug

John,

I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN THE TEMPLATES (GRIN).  I suppose some 
additional questions would be whether the club would allow someone to 
manually aim the PAK such as before or if it had to have Automatic controls 
in order to get the user 'out of harms way'? (signed Waiver anyone (grin)).

John, in hindsight was the PAK enjoyable in combat?  It seems to me that 
Artillery could be very intertaining.

Lastly, would the club allow the smaller airsoft caliber paintballs.  The 
technology and reliability is getting better and as a result one could build

a nice semi-auto mechanism with close to 400fps speed and would not need CO2

but instead utilize the 'electrics' gearboxes made famous by Tokoyo Marui.  
This would drastically reduce the weight and could facilitate a 'lazy susan'

lilke rotating base for the Gun.
