Paintball Tank

Paintball Tanks are mechanized vehicles used in various types of the sport of paintball, usually with the intent of military simulation. Paintball tanks are commonly used for woodsball and scenario paintball games. These props are often referred to as Paintball Armored Vehicles or simply mechs.

Paintball tanks may be armed with anything from a single paintball marker to many paintball markers, carbon dioxide-powered cannons, grenade launchers and even rocket launchers. Markers used are usually trained upon the players of the opposing team, while the cannons are used primarily against the paintball tanks of the opposing team. The markers are most often standard paintball markers places in shooting slots in the tank's armor. The air cannons on the other hand are not standard, and are often home-built to suit their particular use.

Paintball tanks usually have special rules to adhere to for each event. These rules change from field to field and from scenario producer to scenario producer. For example, some places will not allow personal-armor style tanks and some will not allow the automotive heavy tanks. Speed limit rules are generally considered among the more important rules for paintball tanks, especially the heavy tanks. The variations of rules that concern paintball tanks is only limited to the number of fields out there that use paintball tanks.
