Shotguns

Lol, real shotguns are pimp, but if you need one to be paintballin' you need to find a different sport.

He's use it.  Hearing somebody call out was a hoot!

I made a paintball shot shell for my spudgun.  I could spray 10 paintballs at one shot.  Just use to Dixie cups back to back.  One fill with paintballs, then the other filled with tissue (for wadding).  Pack it into the barrel of you launch and fire away.  It's not real accurate, but who needs accuracy when you have all that paint in the air...

Yup. Engineer.
"Thunder" was the gun. There might even be notches carved in the side of it... not so much for how many "kills" it had, but more so for how many poopings it caused in victim's shorts.

If the paintball gun/paintball shotgun comparison would be anything like the rifle/shotgun comparison you would probably get owned in anything but close quaters, in which case the shotgun could hold its own but wouldn't have any significant advantage. Thats just the way I look at it at least. May not be true, but thats probably not far from the truth. Unless of course your coming at this completely from the cool factor angle. If thats the case, yeah, a paintball shotgun would be pretty cool. Just wouldn't have any performance advantage in my opinion.

Anyways, how do you purpose getting more then one .68 caliber paintball up to 300 fps coming out of the same barrel at the same time?

Here the plans cost money but it's a start if your still interested http://www.alternativepaintball.com/

One of the guys on my team has been trying to get a shotgun to work for awhile. Current design is basically a LAW rocket launcher that you load with a wad and a couple dozen paintballs. Doesn't work too hot though, the balls dont individually get enough speed to break on anything but a hard target. Its much more effective to just shoot the same ammount of paint out of your gun and much less ungainly.

Maybe if you could figure out a way to either airburst the paint to get at people behind bunkers or  shred the paint as it comes out of the launcher so you shoot out a short ranged spray of paint. That last one might actually be good if you get up behind a group and dont want to shoot them point blank and if you try barrel tagging em all you'll get shot yourself.

I would like to see someone make a pump gun into a shotgun(not so it shoots clusters of paint), but pretty much make it a milsim. That would be sweet.
