Airsoft Tank with a new twist.

[Koopa]

what about one that launches waterballoons?

The real problem with this idea is the projectile, but i think i have a solution.

Make a canister, shaped like a regular tank round. have four compartments behind the head running the length of the body. Each of these compartments has a spring loaded bottom that when released springs outward. each compartment also has a door over the top that is realesed at the same time as the bottom panel. A trigger is built into the nose of the round so that when it hits a wall or another solid object the catches release and whatever is in the compartments sprays all over the poor saps next to it.

NOTE: this would not be particulalry safe becasue it could seroiusly injure anyone that got hit directly by the shell.

these would prolly cost about 5-10 $ each if they were mass produced.

could bring in the age of airsoft rocket launchers....

Hence why it would probably not be a good idea, not unless you wrapped the whole thing in enough padding to prevent serious injury. The whole point is it needs to be workable AND safe.

Nerf is the best idea, not only safer, workable (could find a way to put a sound device) it is also reusable too.

Agreed... speaking of which anyone know where I can pick up some Foam NERF balls? :-D

You can make contact, well, low order explosive, with amonia and iodine crystals, iirc. It's fun stuff, you smear a little bit on the bottom of light switches, and such, and when it dries if anything touches it 'POP' it goes off and leaves a yellow stain. Or you can mix it with tapioca pudding, put it in a pill casing, and throw them. Only down-side is that there is a purple smoke which I understand is chlorine or such, and thus poisonous. But if you're tipping an anti-tank grenade with it, then there's no problems. It hits the vehicle and makes noise, and leaves a yellow mark.
