Gatling paintball gun (six-barrel, 288-round-per-second) on Ebay

wow.

That was me asking about paintball. Thanks for the tip but I ended up buying two Tippman's.In the end I guess it didn't matter too much, I ended up hiding behind a barrel and shooting like crazy with my eyes closed :)

The ol' Spray and Pray technique eh?
 
If this thing actually worked, I think you could close your eyes and paint a house with it. No way your siblings could escape.

Yes, you'll notice I said "if this thing actually worked". That is 48 balls per second from 6 barrels. I don't think that paintballs would be able to handle to pressure at that speed. You'd end up with lots of paint up in your gun, I think.

Its 8 balls per second from 6 barrels giving you 48 balls per second... not 48 balls per barrel per second.. hell that'd be faster than true heavy machine weaponry.

edit - The M60 (mounted on tanks) has a fire rate of 600 rounds/min or 10 rounds per second. The M61A1 (the machine gun used on aircraft) fires at an astounding rate of 6600 rounds/min.. still only 110 rounds/sec. The fastest man-controlled machine gun was the MG42 with a rate of fire of 1200 rounds per minute or 20 rounds per second.

Somehow I find it hard to believe they managed to get compressed air to charge and fire that much faster than an explosive chamber.

The auction says "48 balls Per Second Per Barrel" so I think your wrong. With a good hopper you can get 22+ balls persecond.

EDIT: Sorry about the double post

Then that'd be what we in the business call.. A SCAM. There's no f'ing way a paintball gun shoots that fast.

Cornfedwb, you seem to be an expert in just about everything... mace, machine guns.... you sure are amazing :roll: "we in the business" what the heck business are you in?
 
yup, i just fire like crazy, one of the ref's scared me one time and I took a couple of shots at him. He was kind of mad because it was actually "a couple of shots" not just one

Internet skepticism. :wink:

There's no way in hell that the gun could possibly function at the statistics given in this thread...it just defies physics. Not that internet posters don't do that every day...
 
48 balls a second is impossible. There is no loader/hopper made that would do that.
I would know, paintball is the other 50% of my life.
Low 20s is impressive in paintball, and thats for very short bursts.
