Now theres a thought... :idea: ...hmm, a 1/19th scale 'big bertha' mounted on a flat wagon behind Bluebottle might just protect her from enemy collisions :P

The major flaw in that plan is the engine would never be able to pull it, and the end that wasn't connected to the scale gun, we could still crash things into it :D

yeah, but if the gun was a turret, it could just swing round and blast the other engine to bits.

Aparently, you can buy a model RC tiger tank with firing mechanisum :D .

Also, if Call of Duty 3 has taught me anything, never run at a tiger tank, if all you've got is a colt rifle.

Alternatively miss and blow Bluebottle to smitherenes :lol:
Since this appears to have gone rather off topic, I should mention that you can buy a foam rocket launcher that connects to a computer via the USB connection, you use the computer to set angle and power before pressing fire, and no doubt having fun annoying whoever you hit.

Yeah, I surppose, but try telling that to my brothers and uncles.

My parents wouldn't approve either. They got rid of an Xbox 360 'Lord of the rings' game I had.

Midge has told me that he has done something to it. So im taking precautions. It involes nytro glycerine and laalratty giving it a good kick whilst I film him for youtube.
P.S the video will be called "16mm railcar blows up taking an innocent life aka 2 birds, one stone"
