Modify a paintball gun to use cap-gun ammo (the paper strip type, not the six shooter rings) so it makes a loud bang when you fire, as well as shooting a paintball.
It would add an extra edge to paintballing as people could locate you when you fire, but also vice versa.

This would help. Muzzle flash would be good as well. |

[2 fries] a camera flash inside a tube mounted below the barrel?
[DF] + on the sound idea. |
|
|
[DF] have you been paintballing ? the guns (or whatever it is the painballers call them, they've got a special name) make a fair old noise on their own. |
|

But yeah the muzzle flash is a neat idea. |
|

They do have a flash of sorts. It's not a light flash but a flash of CO2 or Nitrogen (whichever they are using).
They also do make a fair bit of an audible crack when they fire.
Would be a cool thing to do though. |

Quote from a spud gun site: 'New stuff is cool, but new stuff that makes loud bangs and shoots things rules!' |

If you used butane or propane instead of CO2, and put a small pilot light by the muzzle, you might get a nice flash, without affecting the velocity of the ball (too much). |
