We're not sure what kind of paintballer you'd have to be to invest in the Razorback paintball tank, but its mere existence seems to necessitate some sort of crazed fanaticism the likes of which we can only imagi—er, well, relate to, actually. And apparently that fanatic needs a 360° rotating dual gattling gun turret (or scenario launchers for tank combat), fed by a five thousand round paintball hopper with another 14,000 rounds onboard. Oh, and it's got a loudspeaker system with a mic, for taunting your opponents as you pump a few hundred skin-blistering rounds into their sorry pelt. We are just so confused right now, and so reminded of kids who played with their GI Joes well into their teens.
And it is only $42,000.00.
What next? Real paint ball tanks? Paint ball jets?
I think it is just a question of time until someone comes up with a paint ball a-bomb.
How about paint ball shut up juice!! Bubble gum? Jaw-breakers?
Ouch.. if I saw that coming a me I'd throw my Fenix down and surrender...
This kind of setup is designed for paintball scenario games where hundreds of people fight it out up to 24 hours straight, so it's not over-kill. The only problem is that many insurance companies who insure the fields no longer cover wheeled or tracked vehicles for liability reasons.
Site in Russian, but you can look at photos.

Hey, I work for Special Ops Paintball, the owner of the Razorback! We use it all around the country at scenario games, where as many as 3,000 paintballers will battle it out for days at a time (D-Day Oklahoma). The razorback has been know to take out as many as 500 players in just a few short minutes. It is definitely for fanatics only, but we use it for promotional purposes mostly.

Are you tired of getting shot the first 5 minutes of the game? Would you like to be put in debt? If you answered YES to all these questions, then do we got a solution for you!
Introducing the all new RAZORBACK tank. The only tank that'll keep you; in the game, in debt, and shooting the other team ball after ball after ball.
BUY IT NOW!!!
how do you get shot in that thing? or does it make you invincable?
or do you need a paint grenade to kill it or something?
I reckon I could take out a couple of people with paintball grenades, with paint instead of shrapnel.
To take out the razorback tank, you can do a lot of things, stratigy wise, you get a paintball rocket launcher, and Aim it at a big orange target that is in front of the tank, there are also 2 other ones on the sides. If you hit, a horn will go off and will turn the tank into a useless tank in the game. BUT, if you miss, run as if a sniper was scoping your crotch. but run faster.
fightin' in the brigade,
