an airsoft tank

These tanks were originally mass produced as a ride for amusement parks for a game called "Tank Battle". There are also boats made from a similar design for boat battle games. The main body is built out of fiberglass and plywood and sits on a basic square steel tube frame which were custom build for these tanks. These arren't cars, lawn mowers or golf carts, and are a completely original design and are unfortunately difficult to find spare/replacement parts for. The drive system conists of an 18hp gasoline engine which drives an air pump for the canon and a hydraulic pump for the rear wheels. Hydraulic fluid is regulated to turn the wheels forward or backward. The front canopy opens up for the driver to sit, and the turret rotates 360 degrees and fires raquetballs about 100-150 feet. This particular tank can also be refitted with a water cannon for soaking your friends, or a support gun like an M249 airsoft rifle for certain games! It can carry two people; a driver and a turret gunner. It is used in conjuction with a referee at airsoft events and can be "destroyed" using mines, satchel charges, RPG's or rocket lauchers (like a nerf football launcher) or by other scenario specific ways.
