A couple related stories involving the photo of the field magazine work:
1) Field of Armor, LLC filed a lawsuit this morning against Tyng Tech,
LLC for one million dollars alleging that Tyng violated the terms of
their joint development agreement. According to FOA, Tyng agreed to
design, develop and field test a "revolutionary paintball magazine" for
FOA's complete line of tanks. "Cardboard and gaffers tape is hardly
revolutionary", stated an FOA spokesperson without taking questions.
Steve Tyng, Founder and CEO of Tyng Tech, replied "It's not the
materials that count, it's how they are put together. The magazine
worked flawlessly throughout the event." When asked how much Tyng Tech
invoiced FOA for the work, Tyng smiled, chuckled a little and got into
the stretch limousine taking him back to the Tyng world headquarters.
2) The Office of Ethical Practices announced today that it has started
an investigation of Tyng Tech, LLC. According to the OOEP spokesperson,
"Photos published today appear to indicate that Tyng Tech developed and
used a magazine capable of holding more than 40 paint balls, a clear
violation of R/C Tank Combat ethics." The spokesperson went on to say
that, "Never in the history of the hobby has any participant used an
over-sized magazine, making this finding even more troubling." The OOEP
has chosen Will "The Hammer" Montgomery to lead the investigation, based
on his 25+ year history of contest direction and rule enforcement.
Ironically, Montgomery has been a long-time member of Tri-Pact Research
and Development, a privately-held, highly-profitable company that
competes with Tyng Tech in the extremely lucrative tank combat systems
market. "We don't see that as a conflict of interest", stated the OOEP
spokesperson who was dining at the Friends of Tri-Pact Annual Picnic and
Fundraiser.
3) Tri-Pact Armory, a subsidiary of Tri-Pact Combat Systems, announced
today that it had successfully field tested "The strongest paintball
magazine ever used in R/C Tank Combat" in the brand new M60 tank,
according to the press release. The carbon fiber and copper device
holds exactly 40 paint balls, feeds paint balls flawlessly at all angles
and can hold up to a ton of weight without being crushed. The new,
high-strength magazine uses the same design as "The most durable
paintball magazine ever used in R/C Tank Combat" that was installed in
the venerable Tiger-1 a number of years ago. The main difference is
that the Tiger's magazine is made using kevlar, whereas the new magazine
is made using carbon fiber. "The magazines are *not* for sale in the
public marketplace", stated a Tri-Pact sales person, "but we will
consider private contracts with wealthy individuals for customized
versions."

3. Field Fabrication. When it does not work, replace it. It's amazing
what some cardboard and gaffers tape can make.
