Chan's Personal Blog

I'll warn you ahead of time that this article probably makes me look like an irrational psychopath and it probably shatters what little journalistic credibility I have accumulated, but I'm not crazy .... seriously.... (twitch). So, this article is supposed to appease a segment of my audience that considers themselves burly men with full coats of chest hair.

Anyways I was going through my weekly blogs and news sources, and I came across this baby called the Razorback:



The article can be found here. It's a paintball tank vehicle that is built using an Israeli-made fast attack vehicle. The thing comes fully loaded with a turret with duel paintball guns, and a regulation rocket launcher?!! The turret can swivel 360 degrees, and can fire at a rate of 30 rounds per second. The vehicle can also carry up to 19,000 paintballs onto the field. It looks like this thing can hold 3 people: a driver, a side gunner, and a turret gunner. Apparently this thing even features a built-in sound system for psychological warfare. Nothing like aggravating the enemy with tunes from the Backstreet Boys.

I'm curious to know how they incorporate vehicles safely into a paintball game. It'd be pretty bad if someone got hit by one of these vehicles. Apparently the way to take out one of these vehicles in competition is to fire an anti-tank weapon at the tank. It has to hit an area of the vehicle called the kill zone. The anti-tank weapon of choice for foot soldiers is a LAW rocket launcher which apparently fires a NERF missile at the tank.

Psst, Norm, it's time to buy one of these. One of these will set you back $42,000 USD. If anyone wants to give me an early birthday present that counts for all future birthdays .... you know what to do. Did I mention I've been a good boy this year as well?

I wonder if this thing is street legal.... grunt grunt grunt. It would be pretty good for crowd control purposes I would imagine.
