Is it possible to build a tank and be able to fully use it?

Spinner · 08-03-2004, 04:29 PM

Wetmonkey had some plans for one - you could contact him.

A tank would be so sweet.You could plow through enemy lines.

Commander_Gaunt · 08-03-2004, 04:40 PM

What sort of tank?

War Admiral · 08-03-2004, 04:47 PM

A army type of tank I think.

yeahyeah · 08-03-2004, 04:50 PM

No No. Like a cardboard box thats water-proof and only takes one person with holes to shoot out of

War Admiral · 08-03-2004, 04:52 PM

ohhh I thought it mightve been like a motoerized sort of thing.But that might be better cost wise and crfatsman wise.

You could buy a go kart and mount a plastic cardboard box over it. Then you could raise the steering and put something on the set so you can sit in it normally. Then, just cut some holes in the plastic big enough for your guns to fit in them. Instant Tank.

a lot of people use 4-wheelers, but I don't think it would be very safe to mount a cardboard box on one :P

War Admiral · 08-03-2004, 08:09 PM

As yeah yeah said,I think it could really be a good idea for a big cardboard box. I may start construction on a tank.

Neuro · 08-03-2004, 08:11 PM

well, if you're going to make a tank like that, screw having to walk it around, take the time to build a wooden frame and put RUBBER WHEELS, not castors, on it. *cough*atv*cough*

blaze · 08-03-2004, 08:12 PM

Why not?

Oh and BTW, you'd have to make a windshield. Plastic wrap wouldn't cut it, I would use plexiglass if you can find it, or any other clear plastic.

Neuro · 08-03-2004, 08:14 PM

as I've said in the cardboard box barricade/base topic, acrylic is the way to go.

That sucks but I guess when a water balloon is hurled at the wind sheild it won't suck.

Read my last post. Yeah, all someone would have to do to get through the plastic wrap would be to shoot it with a WBL.
