What the hell was I thinking!
« on: December 09, 2005, 11:27:08 AM »
I just bought a $150 radio controled tank, and I don't even do cocaine!

Is there a place where people like me can get help ?

I'd plant a mini-cam/nightvision system, replace the low-powered transmitter/emitter and fake turret with something functional, and go hunting pests in the wild.

It shoots 6mm BBs. And the turret traverses and the tube elevation is adjustable.  A wireless cam and a visible laser is very doable.

Spending 900 on a radio controled tank that doesnt even shoot anything?
Now thats nuts.

Being able to shoot is the main point in getting one
Hey. Maybe you can somehow mount a 22 on it :D

I toyed with the idea of sawing off the grip of a hi standard double action 22 revolver, putting a small solenoid on the trigger and maybe getting one of those hi capacity teardrop revolver mags. Probably wouldn't fit in the turret.

And then in a moment of detatched objective clarity I thought to myself, "I'm to pretty to go to jail".

Iwaver makes some models (under $100) that shoot lazers.  You can have up to 6 at a time fighting.  6 hits and yours shuts off and needs to be reset.  A few of the guys in my R/C club got them and we have "wars" from time to time.

Well you have it now. you might as well enjoy it and have some fun with it.

Have any cats?

Nothing. and I mean NOTHING on this earth is more funny then startling a cat to the point where it jumps straight up in the air about 5 feet and tries to run  in five different directions at the same time while still airborn.:rofl

????? :huh

Revolvers, double action or not, do not have mags. They have a cylinder, that's why they are called revolvers.
