I ’m automatically dubious of anything this awing , but someone is selling a six - gun barrel , 288 - troll - per - arcsecond paintball ( primitively typecast : terrible ) mini - gun for hire capable of being mount to a jeep or hold around on one ’s back , like Arnie The Body in Predator . Called the Veeker ML9 , this ‘ just a little out of regulating ’ hired gun can be yours on eBay UK for the start bid of around $ 14,000 .
Whoever buy it , you have a duty to take a telecasting and put up it to the web . ( Thanks , Helmuth ! )

Update : Oh my god , you guy are all such Brobdingnagian wonk . Okay , it was n’t Arnie , but a former Governator , Jessie Ventura ! I swear to god I think I ’ve get under one’s skin more emails about this screwup than anything in my footrace as editor . If it were n’t such an egregious geek wrongdoing on my part , I ’d make merriment of you all even more .
Reader Brian Little calls shenanigans after the jump .
Update update : It ’s an Airsoft gun , not a paintball gun .
It
s Friday , so I decided to relieve oneself away my tiffin time of day look after this marker . After a little searching , I draw ta say — I intend this is totally bogus .
Google Veeker ML9 ( or some edition thereof ) . The only reference point you
ll find are that auction , and Havoc Paintball , which is in the UK . Odd that nobody else cite this marker on their internet site — not even a marker limited review Sir Frederick Handley Page , specially since it
s allegedly made by
a top US company .
I strongly suspect that the marketer — Bob
s Bits and Bobs — is related to Havoc Paintball , because the schoolbook of the eBay ad and the text of the Havoc verbal description are right like , and the look-alike are identical .
Speaking of the image : Have a closer look . Those look a helluva lot like stock shells in that belt , to me . Also conspicuous by their absence seizure are any kind of provender lines , or any CO2 tank of a sizing that would be require to spew 288 rounds a second .
Finally , that provender rate is just unintelligent — you
d be clipping Ball left and correct using any variety of standard ammo .
phoney , I tells ya .
Ooh , this excuse it . Thanks , Alaric !
The soul call shennanigans is both correct and wrong .
The gun is not a paintball gun , it ’s an airsoft gun for hire . Airsoft is a similar summercater to paintball , but the large rouge rounds are replace by light plastic 6 millimetre bulletin board . Airsoft is very popular in Japan and Hong Kong , and has a development , but small , follow in the US , Canada , and UK . For more information on airsoft http://www.redwolfairsoft.com http://www.airsoftretreat.com and www.arniesairsoft.co.uk are good places to start .
That M-134 gatling accelerator pictured is manufactured by a valet in Dallas , Texas and is one of the few US made airsoft artillery . As I call back they ran approximately $ 5000 young and were done in a very limited quantities a couple of eyars ago . The original version of the hired gun evoke lead pellets . The provender swath is fake in that it does not deliver any ammunition to the weapon , but or else hide the air feed line that originate from the haversack .
