any of you tankers devised a way to feed paint to your anti personel markers from a remote location within the tank? say like a large cache of paint in a 5gal waterjug or something similiar?

I'm not a tanker but I would try a Warp Feed.

TATER

I used q-loaders but they are subject to problems and hold small amounts. However when they worked they worked well and with limited space

hook up a 450 round hopper to an A5 tippmann run a 1 inch peice of irrigation flex line from the hopper to a box mounted mounted above the gun (use a bulkhead fitting to atach to the box) let gravity keep the 450 round hopper full and then let it rip

SMOKIN WAGON!!!

this is the rig i was contemplating and lets see if you guys can give us some great suggestions.

cant do gravity, cause theres no room in the turret. so lets say i need a 5 gallon bucket full of paint to be fed tube wise into the breach of a marker. so maybe butcher a electro hopper to feed the paint from the bucket into a warp feed (like they used to put on old automags) then have the warp push paint through tubing directly into the marker breach.

so my idea was to section off about 6 inches of a 5 gallon bucket by making a funnel shaped divider. paint will run into a breach in the funnel, into the sectioned off bottom of the bucket where it would funnel into the loader. paint will be pushed through a small amount of stable tubing out the side of the bottom of the bucket, into the warp feed. it will then be pushed via warp feed up about 4 ft piece of tubing directly into the marker breach.

do you guys think this will work? has anyone tried this before? any input before i spend money.

Why not take the warp feed out of it and run a tube from the feedneck of a force feeding hopper and run it into the breech of the marker. You can mount the hopper next to or below the marker.

Hey Havok pm Castro or Bobio from the Blackhearts and ask them how they dont it on Marks Tank....

Also Wizzard might be a Help

4 feet vertical is a long haul for a warp feed, I seriously doubt its going to be able to push that.

ive never used a warp feed so i was wondering if it would be strong enough. there has got to be a way. my gunner spends half the day loading pods. i mean we shoot 6 cases per day out of the turret.

have you guys actually got to play a game with this tank yet?

I thought yall just started building it. You will find you are not shooting that much paint. I think Nez shot 2-3 cases the whole weekend out of the Hog.

Well you might shoot more if you have a double trouble i guess.

I would go with a larget 400-800 round hopper and reload during lulls
