How about a paintball shotgun? [Archive]

Ok, so I know there is a shotgun on this site but it's not a real shotgun. It only shoots one ball at a time. I am talking about a real paintball shotgun. The barrel would have to be wide enough to fit three balls through at a time, and the detente would be long enough to hold 5 balls across (5X3=15 balls a shot). I realize the accuracy would be super low, the balls would chop an awful lot, and your hopper would have to be big enough to drop at least 5 balls at once, but still... wouldn't it be sweet? Some guy comes running towards you ....BLAM! He gets hit by half a dozen balls, one pull of the trigger. No chance to wipe all that paint off, and he's probably in too much pain to do that anyways. Or you're charging a fort and let off one shot and three of the defenders are gone. It would be cool....
Would someone please make one?

Paintball knife? Soudns...interesting...:dodgy: . Anyways if you want a paintball like shotgun the closest thing you're going to get is this pump gun made by RAP4. It looks good and has the Co2 tank hidden in the stock and there's no hoppers or mags on it so it looks nice and smooth. But the idea about shooting 15 balls a shot is a waste. The barrel and gun would have to be so big to push the 15 paintballs at a high enough velocity to the point of where it would be unseable.

i dont quite rember the "paintballknife" But i have seen actual paintball shot guns. They shoot i think now(any one creect if im wrong) .50 size paintballs and have 20 shot clips. Its like a 5 shot spread. Never actually shot one yet but if i do ill post it on here

Can you imagine how much air it'd take to fire 15 paintballs at a time? And i for one wouldn't even care about paintball shotgun give me a tac8 and then try to charge me.

For the shotgun u could put those airsoft paintballs and fire them in a shell of some kind would be very hard though. And a paintball knife? Thats sounds funny we should have paint ninja fights dip and broom stick into a bucket of paint and start whackin lol.

any gun can be made into a shotgun. all you do is pull the trigger and stop the bolt from moving forward a few times to let multiple paintballs into the barrel 3-4 should do it. or you could remove the dentent and call it
"the gack gun" cuz it will chop so much. lol

There is a paintball shotgun coming out, althought I don't think it is a grape shot like you would think it would be.

that still looks pretty nice anyways, but it would be cool if it was a grapeshot.

I remember seeing pics a while back of a guy who took apart a power warsher and turned it into a military-looking paintball flamethrower.(it was like an uber super soaker that sprays paint)

People have tried things like this in the past.

Here is a cool vid on this site. http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=160

There used to be actual site with cannons made into shotguns but I can't find them now. Some were something like a large cannon with multiple barrels. All the air hit all barrels at once. Other were more like throwing grape shot in a cannon and firing it.

That video is a pretty cool home made paintball gun to play around with though. Chech to site out.

anyway, a paintball shotgun would be a hard concept to put into use, because if you put 3 paintballs in a barrel at one time thers a space in between them , (think of a triangle with circles) where alll the air would exit before the ball came out, so If you were actually serius aboutt his you would have too make it w/ multaple barrels, all connected together so it just looks like one barrel

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet, but check out the Palmer Typhoon Nasty if you haven't already. It is a double-barrel version of his Typhoon pump gun. has two barrels, two feednecks, two hoppers, one trigger, and you can fire two paintballs at once with it. Probably the closest and most practical (well, relatively practical...) thing to a paintball shotgun that I've seen, considering that it shoots two at once, albeit not from the same barrel. www.palmer-pursuit.com is his website.

Ok, so how about three barrels on the gun but one hopper with a triple feedneck and a detente big enough to fit fice balls long? If it's gonna be a shotgun it's gotta do a grapehsot. (15 balls a shot just seems like a nice number).

My friend showd me a picture of a double barreld pb gun. Looked just like a shotgun and was golden though. i dunno bout three barrels but 2 seems to be good enough

^yep, that was the Typhoon Nasty.

ZarjFed

10-18-2006, 01:49 PM

Well the whole idea is to shoot a ton of balls at once. I mean, what's the point of two barrels if you're only gonna shoot two balls? Might as well rig a regular marker to shoot two (well, that wouldn't work quite as well but still..)

your also forget that it would have to have a wider macroline, a modified ASA, and i whole different orientation of a tank, considering that it might shoot more air then the tank can even distribute. and there would be an *** load of kick, making some small/weak people drop the gun when fire. and the reg would have to be modified, considering that it cant widthstand that much air coming through for it to regulalate properly. and what you have mentioned a hoppper that has a 6-ball wide hole to shoot it.also some fields dont allow you to shoot a guy more then once.

there probaly alot more reasons no company has thought about marketing it, but im to lazy to think of them all

but there is a gun that shoot 2 at a time..... in fact theres alot of people who thought of that idea before you

Still, there's gotta be a way to get one barrel to fire multiple balls without serious choppage or losing tons of CO2 pressure.

malcontent

10-20-2006, 09:20 AM

its easy...
take one PVC pipe... cap the end, dump a coffee cans worth of paint down the end, hook up a high pressure valve system and poof...

if your looking for that kind of firepower, you should just go and build a paint-bazooka. though no real field will let you use it...

How about some really large slingshot-like device? The sling would be large enough to hold a bundle of paintballs that would fired would cover a spread

Explosive Smurf

10-20-2006, 02:12 PM

you could have a gun with 3-5 barrels and then a cyclone loader type thing. it could slowly spin and drop a paintball in the barrel that is empty.
-But with this concept it could barly fire 1 shot per second.

It might work...

that would defeat the purpose of have 5 barrels, it'd just be an semi with 5 barrels. in order for it to pass the qualifications of it being a shutgun it'd have to shoot at leat 2 simotaniously

ZarjFed

10-20-2006, 02:48 PM

The whole idea of the shotgun is to make it like a shotgun - one barrel, a lot of balls

Explosive Smurf

10-20-2006, 06:13 PM

o i see what you mean, one wide barrel shooting multiple paitnaballs?

that would never see a paintball shop...

its just to impracticle and unusual

the only way i see a paintball shotgun to get marketed is if it where to have multiple barrels. having one wide barrel with 6 balls is it just wont work

think of this, how can you make the balls seal the vacuum required for it to actually leave the barrel instead of having the air just blow around it, it has to be sealed. and i really dont see anybody coming up with a practicle device thats capable af shooting 6 pb's at a time and auto reloading itself.

sorry to burst your bubble but it will never happen (well at least with only one barrel)

10-20-2006, 06:16 PM

i like the idea of a paintball gatlin gun.......have 80 barrels (small gun if made correctly.) and then from there get like, a crank that shoots 10 balls per barrel per second. Try to beat that........

OR, we make a paintball turret, hook it the back of a golf cart, and renact Operation Market Garden or something cool. Make a q-loader that hold 800 balls and a turret that shoots 30 bps and u'll have a killer gun..

I've fired a paintball bazooka before. It is essentially a large pipe hooked up to a valve and asa. You stuff some paper towel down the "barrel," followed by 30-50 paintballs, followed by more paper towels to hold them in place. The valve opens (by the operation of your choice) and releases about 6 oz of co2 per shot, launching a fairly tight spray of paintballs at 200-260 fps. Its fun, but a huge waste of effort.

the rap4 m203 grenade launcher is the closest thing that i can think of. it has two diff. shells one can shoot something like 50 6mm paint bb's or 15-25 .43cal paintballs the second one can shoot 5 .68cal paintballs or they can do various combos of the three types of ammo with the second shell. they have three versions. one is a single shot pistol, the next is a underbarrel mounted type (r.i.s.), and the final is a six shot style revolver thing.

i have a friend that makes home made paintball guns. he made a shotgun like you are talking about. he took a tippman cyclone feed tube and ran co2 2 it. he set it horizontally and it shoots 5 balls at a time. he attached it to his 98 custom. he a switch which relays the co2 to the shotgun instead of the custom. you can only get like 5 shots off of a 12 ounce co2 though. but it is pretty cool and hurts like hell. he also made a paintball gun that you air it up with a picycle pump. we have shot about 200 yards with this thing accuratly.

ZarjFed

10-23-2006, 02:30 PM

That is pretty cool...
And ya I did think the paintball spud gun was a little bit crazy but worth talking about anyways.
Maybe you could somehow rig up a new detente that could hold 5 balls at once, there would not be any wasted CO2 as the balls would still fit snug with the barrel, although a hopper with a much wider feed neck would be needed.

Ah, the paintball knife. That guy The Hero came up with it. It was retarded, it was a handle that held a 12 gram CO2 and had a 3 inch PVC barrel or something like that. basicly, when you stabbed with it, the barrel would get pushed in on a spring and hit a trigger, and fire a paintball at point blank range. He never made it, just an idea. A very, very bad one, if you ask me

My gosh, My next project has just come into my mind. Ill post pics once I get it done. And to keep this legal you could have a barrel big enough and couldnt get enough air to it to make a shotgun
