Title: Unexplored water fight weapons...the air strike!
Hunter - December 10, 2005 08:07 PM (GMT)
My paintball team is developing a remote controlled twin engine aircraft, with a remote camera and mounts paintball markers and electro douchenators. People have told me an RC aircraft isn't that strong, but this should have around 15 horsepower when finished, and a Cessna 150 has 100 hp; but that's a manned aircraft. The electro douches will be loaded with paintball weapons, or water balloons depending on use. What do you guys think?

If this ever happens, that would be great, but remember that everything has an effective counter. To counter this, the enemy need only move into a heavily forested area, or shoot the plane down with their own artillery.

If they managed to shoot it down, you could lose several hundred dollars worth of... stuff (couldn't think of another word). I doubt an RC aircraft could carry more than one paintball gun, unless you're plannin on buying a giant scale (6 ft.+ wingspan) aircraft.

Uh...I said it has a 15 horsepower aircraft...6 ft wingspan aircraft use 3-4 hp engines...This monster will have at least a 20 ft wingspan.

Well, I trust someone in your team has millionair parents, so if it gets hit with a Douch and crashes, you'll have no problem finding replacement money. Real Cessnas have only 10-15 ft. wingspans, and they cost at least $100,000.

It's going to have a light metal frame, it wont be easy to break, and it will fly at 200 feet, hard to hit...

I have three point's to make. It's too complicated, it will cost too much money, and if it breaks all that money down the drain. B)

-My paintball team is funding the project, in paintball "too much money" doesn't exist.
-If it breaks down it can be fixed.
-It's not complicated if you know what you're doing.

If I had to defend against a plane, I would load solid objects in the launchers. A Douchenator can fire a water balloon at 141 MPH, it could fire a more solid object even faster. And at 200ft, the thing is not safe. The upward Douching range is 336ft with a mere water balloon at 70 PSI.
Loading the barrels with paintballs would also be deadly against a plane like that. It would be like firing buckshot long range. With several launchers, it would be difficult to miss.
