Build A Paintball Turret Out Of A Golf Cart

Participants in paintball "war games" take them very seriously. You can build a paintball gun turret on a golf cart and mount an offensive against the front lines of your enemies. You will need some plywood and hardware tools, a rapid-firing paintball rifle or paintball gatling gun--and the imagination to make the golf cart the equivalent of a paintball Sherman tank. The protection the golf cart will offer will let you ride right up to your "enemies" and blast them without fear of retaliation.


Instructions


1. Measure the side of the golf cart from the left side to the right side of the metal frame of the metal frame. Measure the height of the golf cart from the top of the metal frame to the bottom of the metal frame.


2. Measure the front of the golf cart from the left side of the metal frame to the right side of the metal frame. Measure the height of the front of the golf cart from the top of the metal frame to the bottom of the metal frame.


3. Place a drop cloth on the floor. Place the plywood on the drop cloth. Cut out a rectangle of plywood matching the height and width of the side of the golf cart with the power saw. Repeat this procedure to cut out another rectangle of cardboard. Cut a hole in each of the corners of the two rectangles of plywood with the utility knife.


4. Cut out a rectangle of plywood matching the height and width of the front of the golf cart with the power saw.


5. Use the power saw to cut out a two foot long by one foot high slit in the center of the plywood that has the dimensions of the front of the golf cart Cut a hole in each of the corners of the plywood with the utility knife.


6. Place the plywood with the slit in it on the front of the golf cart. Put plastic ties through the holes in the plywood and around the metal frames on the golf cart. Secure the plastic ties.


7. Place one of the two rectangles of plywood that has the same dimensions as the side of the golf cart on the side of the golf cart. Put plastic ties through the holes in the plywood and around the metal frames on the golf cart. Secure the plastic ties. Repeat this procedure with the other rectangle of plywood.


8. Tape the bottom of the paintball weapon to one end of the wood block with duct tape. Stand the wood block on the golf cart against the plywood on the front.


9. Duct tape the length of the wood block to the plywood .


10. Start the golf cart engine. Man the paintball weapon. Drive into the enemy while firing at them from your mobile paintball turret.
