an old 4 wheeler that has 2 seats with a governer, and plexi glass armor, its not very big, but would be really really cool... it would be able to go 10 at tops, and have firing points in the plexi glass... i did take the field sixe into consideration and the terrain which is why i chose a 4 wheeler instead of an old go cart... P.S. im dead serious, im thinking about getting a jeep for bigger fields... and doin it with that

heads up with the plexi glass, I bought some back when I was designing my Turrent for the SAW gunners, After about the third shoot the plexi glass starts to cracks, after 5-6 shots all you have left is pieces of plexi glass, Now you can use the roofing material at Home depot and Lowes, it tends to hold up better against the B.B.'s, Down side of things is your vision is not clear as it would be with plexi glass.

Im gonna have to say no to the use of a "Tank" on our field for safety reasons only. We are playing on a small field, thanx Howie for pointing that out, so a "Tank" really isn't necessary. Now if we were playing on 100 acres and you had to walk miles every time we played to get to the different encampments then I could see wanting a tank.

Yea the crestview field really dont need a tank running around it would b really useless there but at wilcox it would b way more of a reality and during ops would b very cool but im am in no way giving permisssion or nething like that u have to talk to howie bout that this is just my opinion

It will be governed, to around 5-7 mph, and i have a solution to the plexiglass, if u take an adhesive and glue two thick pannels together, then cover the outside with a clear vinyl wrap it reinforces it... im working on a design as of now, it will have lights, and other things like that, it will be safe, it will have wheel wells, and if the plexiglass doesnt work ill make it a turret ontop... haha
