Not if I get the Challenger working as well before then. Then you'll have trouble getting near much! The Challenger has a HUGE range on it now and it's downright effective, when the trigger works.
For reference, a paintball fired from 0.4m above ground, on level surface, at an angle of 10 degrees up /should/ travel up to 114m (but won't have enough momentum to splat), assuming no wind (but including air resistance). At a guess it'll only be effective at up to 2/3 of that, but that's still quite a distance. Just watch your tanks get covered in paint..... Talking of Hetzers: what's happened to your one Phil?
