Delta Armored Division

Bulldog · Delta Armored Division

Old Dog and I are now the proud owners of Greywolf's little Sherman tank. It's a plywood body on top of a 1970-something Cushman 10hp gas golf cart. Seats two 200 lb. men- or one man and two children- comfortably.

Currently it's residing in OldDog's shop, awaiting some modifications. We're looking at widening the wheelbase a bit, bumping it up to 10" wheels to increase the ground clearance, lightening the shell, increasing the interior room, and hotrodding the engine so it will climb trees.

I had thought it would need upgraded right away, but it's really nice enough to just run as-is this season. A big thanks to Greywolf for hooking us up with a killer deal.

Here are the pics, from the ad (guns and air cannon were not included):

That is AWESOME. what events will we be taking this to?

Bulldog

Old Dog: Here's that plastic sheeting...

Here are the wheels and tires we want. We'll have to make wheel adapters to go from the proprietary Cushman lug pattern to the standard patter all the 10" wheels use.

Saber

wht kind of other stuff u looking to do for cause 1 of my friends as lots of stuff just laying in his yard he might sell some stuff or give it he also wants 2 go paintballing some time.

Bulldog

I'd like to pick up some cheap used Warp feeds, big hoppers, cheap A5s, cheap T68/Milsig mag-fed-type markers, remote airlines, braided SS air lines, quick-disconnect air fittings, etc.

I'd like to set the top turret up with dual War-fed T68s with the paint coming in the bottom, which would reduce the profile. I also want to run airlines through out so that all the markers and cannons can run off one large CO2 or HPA tank.

theJUDGE

why not keep the 98s and do a 90* elbow on there with the warp feeds? thatway you save some $$ and you still get the low profile. or even mill the elbows on there to acept the warp without the 90* elbow.

Bulldog · Re: Delta Armored Division

theJUDGE

lol didnt see that part. but you still could use 98s since they can be found used pretty cheap just to save some cash. also what are you going to do for the main cannon then? Are you putting a new one in or just not going to use it?

Dirdy

Awesome, slap some of olddogs DeltaSquad banner logos like what he has on his truck and it will be DeltaSquad certified lol.

I have a extra Remote line i'll donate to the cause if you guys want, I never use mine anymore and its not worth selling lol. has a QD too!

Bulldog

OD is working on the cannon thing. Right now it is set up for a marker-based cannon, which is all you can use at OK D-Day and some other events. Hell Survivors does not allow you to use cannons- though we might be able to do paint grenade launchers. We'll have to be able to flex between no cannon, marker-based, Nerf, and paint grenade.

The most used weapon on the thing will be the dual machine gun on top, but we'll also need other turrets on the bottom for defense- this thing is going to be a massive Nerf magnet at Sherwood Forest. That's also why it will be important to refit it for a 3-man crew - in many places the driver isn't allowed to operate a weapon while the tank is in motion, and the RPGs will be coming from every direction.

Somebody buy this!

olddog

Look at this. OD

The Firestorm cranks are insane I've helped attache one to my buddy's A-5 before but the most fun was when it was on his AR-15 Twisted Evil

The Firestorm cranks are legal just about everywhere since it's not electronic and requires constant motion to keep firing.

Since BD is involved yeah paint that puppy MarPat and I can add subdude Delta Squad Logos to it Cool

Maybe a little TEam meeting so everyone can take a look at this thing lol.

Plus a meeting before the seaon starts to plan the seaon?

Bulldog

That place was out of stock on firestorms, but I picked up 2 at another store.

OD, gonna need you to machine a linkage rod between the two so one crank will turn both.

olddog

You know I was thinking of using one in the front and one on the back, I really don't know if you need a DT anywhere. IMO. OD

Team meeting sound good, does the 27th around noon sound good at my work and we will order pizza. OD

Bulldog

"Need"? What does "need" have to do with Paintball? Twisted Evil

olddog

if you guys are still looking for the DT set up. The guy i got them from has a web site and make the pieces and has some used dt set ups he sells every now and then. He also has a form that you could psot up on and see if anyone was looking to get rid of theirs.

He now has the Quadzilla, four a5's mounted with the firestorm crank set up on them. Just thought would thro that out to you guys. If I can find his site in a search will post it up to ya.

Just bought two of these. They ship with feed necks, but they can also feed from the bottom.

By eliminating overhead hoppers, we can mount them higher in the turret, and mount them closer together without feed neck interference.

The grip assembly can be swapped out with an A5's, so we could use the Firestorm crank or a pair of A5 egrips, or fab some sort of butterfly trigger like the Chairborne Rangers have on Old Painless.

Squirlly

The Sams Club at 256 has "Action Cameras" that use SD chips for $76 in the clearance area if you wanted to have a Havoc Cam. Unfortuntally that's not in the budget for me but might be in someone else's.

Hey BD. Even though the meeting is postponed, I'll be passing your place a few times this weekend, so I can drop off that warpfeed if you'll be there. Let me know a good time.

Bulldog

That's fine; I should be around most of the time.

Bulldog

When we gonna have the meeting? My Milsigs should be arriving today, and the Firestorm cranks and one Warpfeed came Friday. Would like to run some ideas by OldDog and see if I can schedule some shop time with him to fab mounts and feed adapters.
