they use high powered air bb guns the ball bearings willbreak skin at close range the guns reload themselves they also have on board pumps to pump out water and the main reason they point down is because if they were able to point up they are classed as a dangerous weapon and now for the bad news is they can cost up to and over $2000 good fun but as soon as iv finnished my race boats and tugboat hello bismark

Yeah Iv'e known about this stuff for a while. Basiacally their boats are 1:144 scale models of real ships bulkt between 1901 and 1946 whcih have a fibreglass hull with windows cut into it then covered up with balsa. They use CO2 powered cannons to shoot little ball bearings. Everything is waterproofed and once they have been sunk they are recovered and they cover the holes with

i want one
but they cost way to much 2000 dollarss u can proably make 1 that is cheaper and more stronger.
Yes not cheap but not impossible, ibet you have spent enough on your hobbys to have about 6 battleships
. The hulls are very strong, they have to resist cannon fire. theships are designed to sink, the cut out sections on the sides of the hull are covered with balsa, covered in silkspan and modelling dope. You could build a merchant ship you only need 2 ch, there's no cannons, but someone will let you have ago of their battleships if you join their club.
