This project has been in the works for over two years, making it the longest project we have done to date. When I originally started this project it was more or less a typical brain dump style invent geek project. Through the last two years of research this paintball turret has evolved through many different versions to arrive at the refined version it is today. This paintball turret system has the ability to be configured as a wired or wireless platform and we have even built it in a way to be portable for rapid backpack style deployments controlled with heads up displays up to a half mile away with a firing rate of up to 34 balls per second.
This project will include full plans and material lists for project building and we will continually add information to this project in the form of how to videos and even a limited number of kits. Look for us soon at paintballturret.com for a dedicated site.

How long before a police force puts one of these on a riot control vehicle? (...or I put one on mine...)
