I have a 1.5 inch pvc air cannon. It can fire powder, pvc shells, bb's, bb's inside shells, whatever and it has a nice kickback to it. I just dont know what to make.

Make it a PAK 40 put the smaller cannon barrel inside a larger pvc pipe so it would look scale size . It would be easy ask Schimitty or Hellmutt for plans or just look on the BattleSim website under the OP:Caratan fourm

I know its a bit off track from realistic vehicles but my friends and I utilized an older Nissan Quest minivan as an assault vehicle. We opened the rear hatch, took out the middle seats and opened the side door with a piece of cardboard across it. It was very cool. Kinda more like a rolling huey than anything else. I definitely would like to see vehicles become involved in airsoft in the near future.

As long as they are period and correct I say go for it. Home made tanks & wooden jeeps? No. Unless of course they are to scale and look EXACTLY like an original.

yeah having a mini van driving around at a WWII event just isn't right.

You know, cardboard covers that are painted can actually be helpful. Since AT isn't very established in airsoft, you can smack through the cardboard and hit the crew head-on.
