: Foam core is the way to go with glass on both sides. Extremely light and strong. They build airplanes using this technique and substituting carbon fiber for the fiberglass. Stronger and lighter, but not worth the cost for a paintball project. Will this stand up to paintball? I'd say yes. I wouldn't build a main body out of it. HellFire rams trees too many times. I like 1/4" steel bumpers and 22 gauge steel siding. When you are in the business of path finding with a tank, you like the heavy duty stuff. But turrets and such, fiberglass is perfect.
