RE: wasting paintballs on army men? what about a water machine gun?[TANKS]

["Keith Wade" <wadegang-at-hotmail.com>]

That might be an idea Chris

But most of the tank turrets I've seen from this hobby struggle to cram all 
their equipment in
and trying to fit a water tank or extra hopper might present a challenge to 
most of the smaller tanks

However I think the water gun thing would work for some of the lighter 
vehciles, like jeeps or that Humvee I remember someone was making. But it 
would be difficult to try and regulate how much ammo a vehcile could carry.

I think that the water gun idea might increase the number of wheeled 
vehciles in the game, and make more useful other than hit-and-run tactics.
I can just imagine jeeps charging gun emplacements trying to get in range 
and then squirking a trail of liquid death before returning to friendly 
lines before enemy retaliation.
