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.-- DesertFox, Jul 17 2005 Propane enhanced performance http://www.tippmann...s.aspx?categoryid=4Speaking of propane powered markers. Check out the link. Now all you need is a pilot light and you'll be blasting away. [FunkyMunky, Feb 28 2006] This would help. Muzzle flash would be good as well.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jul 17 2005 [2 fries] a camera flash inside a tube mounted below the barrel? [DF] + on the sound idea.-- Zimmy, Jul 17 2005 [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.-- neilp, Jul 17 2005 Markers.
But yeah the muzzle flash is a neat idea.-- Cuit_au_Four, Jul 17 2005 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.
