Paintball Panzer

Paintball has long been considered by some--including me--to be the ultimate first-person shooter. But although the virtual shooters feature vehicles, most outdoor war games have relied on just a few four-wheel ATVs.

But now Funtrak has introduced the Paintball Panzer, the sport's first "armored vehicle." This miniature tank features a 13-horsepower gasoline engine and steel-frame chassis; it works much like the full-size vehicles that inspired it, allowing the driver to cross ditches and climb hills with up to 60-degree inclines.

Though it's designed to be road-legal in the U.K., the Paintball Panzer probably wouldn't work for your daily commute. Prices start at about $18,000, and Funtrak has plans to introduce models designed for Lazertag and Airsoft style war-gaming as well. The Paintball Panzer might require a Pentagon-size budget--but how cool would this be in a game of Capture the Flag?
