Let’s stick with the practical and necessary. This will make mom proud.
All the instructions are there. A bit on the expensive side, but I bet some ingenuity and mom’s shopping expertise will solve that problem. There are also videos to aid with the construction and some tantalizing demonstrations to keep the boys motivated:
Mary Victrix 
WOW! That makes my husband’s/sons’ Potato Cannon look really primitive!!!
Super job, guys!
If you think that’s awesome…look at this…
Wow! That looks like it hurts!
Bring it on, I will take on all comers. Even that “robot” thing that Master Paul has a link to. I think that perhaps at cenacle we can build this with the Squires. Then use it at, oh say, night watch???
So tell me, Brother Skeet. Last year, there was an issue with using Paintball at the Nightwatch…and now that I’ve joined the attacking side…hmm… I’ll think of something. 😉
Adam is in awe. Now he wants one. It’s just so awesome, that is all he keeps saying.
David with a long name(are you trying to out do
Dietz’s kids name) like that all you can say is wow it looks like it hurts. It takes longer to write your name.
Carol,
Just make it David Longnom. Simple.
Show Adam the link provided above by Master Paul. Even more awesome.
Hah! I’ll second that, Carol! I mean, David – think of how much it would cost to have all of those letters engraved on your sword!! And by the time you announced yourself to an approaching armed and dangerous steed-mounted enemy, he will have runnest thou through!
Sir Chevalier David de Maria Victrix de Lepanto d’Pasco de l’Ile d’Rhode, I say keepest thou name sir. It is very distinguished and proper not unlike yourself.
Now as far as the nightwatch goes Master Paul de Maria victrix de Lepanto d’Pasco de l’Ile d’Rhode we can not use such weapons upon our unworthy advesaries.
Long Carol! What do mean long?
I’ll just have to put the name on a signature stamp and make it easy for myself. I though the sword
came with a free engraving from Father Angelo. Brother Skeet you can leave the Sir off because
Sir=Knight=Chevalier. Chevalier is the French.
Skeet, just call me Master Xavier. *Bows* 😉
Unworthy? I find some worth among them… Though of course, we’ll have our fun. I say we upgrade our little game of Night Watch to the standard attire for that sleepover we had on Halloween. 😛
Haha. This is pretty cool – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ85PrRZOVk
Oh dear, SignaVeritae – I think for sure the friars will be constructing one of those for the next paintball event! Look out!
I think all these gadgets take the fun out of paintball…I mean, a tank? The specifications of the gun are nearly the same as an individual marker. You can’t go too powerful with paintball because:
1. It gets EXTREMELY dangerous.
&
2. The balls will burst in barrel. Rendering a colored mess.
Let’s just stick with painting Father the Old fashioned way. 😉
But the tank is awesome. Might be great for anti-riot situations at the Friary…you know…misbehaving lads? 😛
Sayeth the lass?
Now Don’t Ya Start Anaythang.
