Paintball (Gear) In the Movies! Join the Fun!

The paper brigade the first movie I remember seeing paintball guns has a bunch of (brass PMIs) used by Robert England aka Freddy Krueger and later the Paper Brigade to fend off the bullies. I believe it's on Disney+ if anybody wants to get screen shots

Land of Dead they have a zombie shooting gallery (Tippmans or Spyder can't remember) the Shaun of the dead guys came as the zombies

Old School Will Ferrel shoots himself in the neck with tranquilizer pistol (pgp) if I remember correctly

Hollowman, and Scary movie 2 previously mentioned
That's off the top of my head. I'll try to take pictures as I watch movies organically if I remember

1996 The Paper Brigade 1st marker maybe a Palmer Pursuit shop Typhoon definitely semiauto old school hopper, 2nd Kp2?, definitely a PGP shot by the "ninja kid" the other ones are too small to identify on my phone screen feel free to chime in. Found the full movie YouTube if you wanna watch

[DocsMachine]

Yup, early Hurricane; the pump the guy in red has is a Palmer's too, with a "QuikSilver" 12-gram changer.

And, as usual, not a goggle in sight.

I was watching some old Mythbusters, specifically the Super Hero Special (S05E17), and noticed that the Battelle Tactical Air Initiated Launch system (T.A.I.L) they show at 4:09 uses an AGD Intelliframe. You can really see it well at 4:27.

[The Inflicted]

What's the large hole at the bottom of the intelliframe for?

[DocsMachine]

Electrical connection to a Warp Feed. The "Intelli" frames had a place to mount a microswitch, with a wire running down to trigger the Warp, so you didn't have to reply on the vibration sensor. The hole was big enough to pass the microswitch, and the notches on either side let you run the wire out, even with a rail, tank or Warp mount attached.

New Netflix Show "Running Point" has a character shooting a mini. I don't recognize the logo on the tank though. Spyder logo on the tank is surprising. When did they make air tanks?

[DocsMachine]

Yeah, looks like an Empire logo to me, too.
What's the loader?
Doc.

[The Last Snood]

Empire Tank and I think the loader is this HK GFX gravity feed. https://www.lonewolfpaintball.com/co...gravity-loader

[cheapguitarscheapthrills]

Empire tank also second the HK gfx

Don't know if this has been posted yet but was watching a newly added movie on Netflix called the electric state and towards the end it looks like the girl has a really nice f4 illustrator, at least I think that's what it is I couldn't get good pics

[Ecapnation]

That's about the best part of the movie

[Psycho91]

I'm gonna be watching this next, looking forward to it now lol

Dang. Came here to post the TiPX. Beat me to it.

[DocsMachine]

I got a potential one for you, but I may be seeing things.

A movie got mentioned on another board, called Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone. It's a cheap sci-fi from 1983, and the movie poster made me think "paintball gun". That green bit up front made me think of side-tube KPs with a tube jammed in the feed.

Better images of the poster don't show more- it's a bad painting rather than a photo.

Other pics show a pistol that might be a reworked PG/PGP, but in neither case is anything definitive.

And, the timing is kind of tight. The movie came out in '83, and if that's a PG, they only came out the year before, according to VintageRex. The K2 or KP rifles apparently not until 1985.

Figured I'd post it up, maybe somebody can dig up a copy and let us know either way.

spotted this one

[JeepDVLZ45]

I never realized that was a PGP! I think I have a project for Chris

[redsquirrel]

spotted this one

That’s a great one. Looks like doc has it on the list and the same one was in Mall Rats.

[redsquirrel]

Other pics show a pistol that might be a reworked PG/PGP, but in neither case is anything definitive.

That link wasn’t working for me, but I can certainly see it from the poster and some of the shots. Found this pretty high quality scene on YouTube and gotta say reworked pistol.

[Ecapnation]

Looks like a dart pistol of some kind

[DocsMachine]

Nice pics! And Ecap almost has it- I'd lay money that's a worked-over Webley Tempest, a British air pistol in .177 cal. The movie was made largely in Canada, so it makes sense they'd use an airgun rather than a firearm.

Still, would have been cool if it had been the earliest use of a PB gun on film.
Doc.

[DocsMachine]

Correction: More likely a Webley Hurricane.

Doc.

[redsquirrel]

Wow, that looks like a perfect match!

Another one for the list.

The show American Gladiators. Season 1, Part 1. Half way through the first season they revamped and changed the area considerably. But on the first half of the first season, on the Assault game, station number 3, they had the Pistol, or Glitter Pistol according to the unofficial wiki....



Sorry about the resolution, they never made a HD remaster of this show. I'll look for a close-up of the gun so we can maybe identify it properly. But you can see a feedneck of some sort, something that looks like a pump handle, but could just be a barrel cover or shroud of some type. Standard set dressing greebles and the like. But the key aspect is the rear 12 gram drop out changer with a dummy 12 gram in it attached to a hose going to a large bulk tank in the, well, bunker.

[Fubarius]

On these the pump handle is more clearly visible. Though some other angles I saw seemed to show a single pump arm, on the right side.

I'm not sure, but I'm getting Bushmaster vibes on this one. Pump handle seems the right shape, and the boxy trigger group. Been modified and de-logo'ed for TV of course.

[Glovebox Operator]

This Means War. Tippmanns and Spyders? And of course no mask or only goggles for the actors.
