hey, I have a question... what makes the ships leak like that? spewing out water from the side, is that because it was shot? or something else?

[bpkoehler]

@Jacomelo117 You can probably tell from the earlier comments on this video that we battle these ships (the ships have onboard bb cannons firing out the turrets) in shallow waters. So yes, the pumping you see is from damage the ships have taken (a few more holes and the pump may not handle the flow.. and down she goes! ;-)

[stewmeat95]

DO you recover them post sinking

[bpkoehler]

As you can probably tell from the earlier post, we do indeed play in shallow water and recover the ships post sinking. They actually patch up and can be ready to battle again in about 30 minutes after sinking! Boats can last a long time and many sinks (I have one that is atleast 15 yrs old)

[gearkid246]

what do they shoot?

[bpkoehler]

bb's - they make holes in the thin balsa glued to the sides, which lets water in (and sink when there are enough holes)

[MegaTitanicboy]

@bpkoehler do the ships come with BB cannons or do you have to integrate the BB stuff into the ships?

[kimiyosis]

@luisxI1 bbs are short for ball baerings, wich are used for miniture guns, like these
