Small, single-shot paintball gun that fits in the palm of your hand.

They use an existing air source (preferably CO2) to charge up little shotgun-shell-looking cartridges, in which you drop a single .68 caliber paintball.
Here's the guts of the cartridge:

It'd make a neat prop for Scenarios... maybe have the Generals have a little Duel at lunchtime!

A paintball Derringer! That's pretty cool, even though it's not very useful.

Totally impractical...
...and yet, I want one. :)
I like the dueling generals idea myself. Could also work for a scenario prop where an "extra" (a scenario character that is not a part of either team, though may or may not prefer one team) isn't really unarmed.

I like the name. That makes it that much better than anything else.
The barrel plug would be bigger then the gun. But I am still going to get one. :)

Barrel plug (bag?) + elastic band = holster :D
I'd bet good money they're working on a side-by-side version. That would be so Mad Max, I wouldn't be able to resist buying one.

Damage Inc is working on a 12-gram powered, break action double barrel.
Looks similar in principle to what you're looking for, except for the shells only hold the paintballs and allows the gas from the 12 gram to propel the paintball (instead of holding a "charge" of gas itself)
I've been trying to get photos, but no luck. Saw a youtube of it from MCB I think? hs:)

The Damage, Inc. Max Boom. They pulled the info from MCB (http://www.mcarterbrown.com/forums/general-chat/96433-max-boom-buzz-thread-removed.html).
The concept looked awesome, and the fact that it was clearly inspired by Max's weapon was fantastic, but it's going to cost waaaaay more than I'm willing to pay.
I'm hoping a double-barreled Goblin will let me get my Max Rockatansky on without having to sell everything and live on the road scrounging for Dinky Di dog food and guzzoline. :)

I am thinking one of these shooting first strike rounds would be way cool. It's a PITA to get the First Strike rounds into my usual guns, but having a small dedicated FS launcher to "snipe" with might be handy.
Someone else will have thought of this, so I just have to wait 'til they post a review. :)

I cracked my lips from the HUUUUUGE grin on my face after shooting the Boom!

Thalion got me thinking. How about having a Generals Ironman at the end of the day.40 paces. then turn and open up ,first to surrender looses. HMMMM. It will give the General a chance to get welts!!! LOL

Volkers and jjohnson both had these at the military games at combat and they make a perfect assassin marker. You can fit it flawlessly in your mask.

Having a loaded paintball gun inside your mask doesn't sound like the best idea. Maybe I'm missing something.

True but if you saw how it worked it wouldn't be a problem.

Our....you could put it in your sleeve....or pocket....or something that isn't a dangerous situation. Regardless of how you do it, the only thing that should be under your mask is your face.....

Anything in your mask except for yourself and your radio ear bud = bad idea.
I don't care if you think it's safe. It's another thing that could go wrong and potentially become unsafe, even if it's safe at first.

I hid it in my mask unloaded and didnt mean to say it could be used like that during a game, but rather i was showing how easy it was to hide on your body, even in places were someone might not look. I have not taken my solo into play loaded and under my mask.
on another note i dig my goblin. They are cool little guns, impractical but a lot of fun to play around with and under $100. I got 3 people out with it during Combats military games. I ran up and shot a person, then with an empty goblin barrel tagged another guy and made some one else surrender (even though the gun didnt have a shot in it haha).
