Simulated Artillery for MPP Games

[GImpy]

well it will just be like a law .. it is all simulated... so for artilary lets say if a law is 15 feet kill zone ... why not start bids at 30 feet ... unobstructed kill zone.. but say 5 feet behind a wall is death also...

What I am thinking of is something that would spray and mark multiple people. Making reffing a little more easier.

In Direct fire is not for taking out a large group of people. Its for making them hunker down, and take out bunkers, Vehicles or structures.

I guess its hard to imagine for people that have not read up on artillery or seen video to understand the effects. But when it starts raining tennis balls people are going to drive everywhere they can to get cover. If your with in about 2-3 feet of a Tennis ball you are going to get dusted. IF you in a bunker ITs done, same for building or vehicle...

IM not talking like 5-6 tennis balls in 10-15 seconds. IM talking more like 50-60 balls in 3-4 seconds.

i figured you guys would have tested it out by now...

we just need to get out there and do it. im sure there are a couple of you with the resources ready to make the launcher.

15 tennis balls, one big cannon

Mike's Pneumatic Cannon

Multi Purpose Golf Ball Spudgun(golf balls!)
YouTube - Golfball Gun Damage Video

Potato Gun / Tennis Ball Launcher Video

IM currently reverse engineering a Halo to Speed Feed Tennis Balls... This should be a blast!

Someone talk to Ben and see what he says!

I can make a Tennis Ball launcher do 15-20 balls per Second fairly easy

bring it to a game. it will be fun to play with even if we cant use it.

Well now Im glad to see everyone's so intharled with my idea...LOL
I never intended when I mentioned "tennis ball's for tankers" I just thought it would serve better as a projectial than "Nurf Rockets". The tennis ball projectial was ment mainly for tank to tank encounters. Nurf rockets will still be used as there are different types of real world projectials for bazooks, arty, ect. Im glad your all interested in my Idea, it is a viable tanker weapon as well as for indirect, as well as direct fire weapons. Ive been hit playing tennis by extreamly hard serves, no bruses only red spots. keep up the dialog...

I guess that I am that stupid and dont know what I am talking about. I mean. I only get shot at by inderect fire almost everyday for the past 3 months. I guess I have no clue what I am talking about. Neither does the guy that had his arm blown off or the guys that have been killed. I will be sure to tell them that it wasnt indirect fire that got them. It was something else because apparently artillery is only ment to make you hunker down, take out bunker, and take out tanks.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. Now I know that it is safe for me walk outside because the splash effect of the explosion wont hurt/kill me. It will only cause me to hunker down.
