in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08

Sweet gun. Have one similar to it. Paint it and it will be sweeter. Have you ever been a tank hunter in paintball withit.

Nice looking LAW. I'm personally partial to rifle style cannons. But I like yours. Just a bit big and bulky. My first LAW launcher was over 4 ft. kinda a bummer to carry that thing around in brush all day. And i suggest using clamps instead of duct tape. Field owners hate duct tape on cannons. Starts making them think of Insurance policies and such.

I can't help looking at this and laughing. Very nice, I like it very much. I'm also agreeing with everyone else here, It would look fantastic with paint job and, well, the fill chamber looks a bit small.

Because it looks so nifty. I'm not really sure, but just its appearance seems to make me smile.

I know it's almost spring, and all the snow will be gone in most places, but on the idea of snow camo, a flat green base coat with white "tiger stripe" style camo looks sweet and actually works better than woodland. Oh, and sweet cannon man.

thanks, but i dont ever get snow here...its florida. :D anyway, im not using it for paintball. When i play woodsball, i dont want to be anti-artillery, im always sniper-bait(scout). so the snow camo would be just for looks, not for function. plus, i havent seen much snow camo, as imablackskater said.
