There used to be a family fun park in San Diego that had fiberglass tanks with a driver and a gunner. They used "lawn-mower" type motors and a small air compressor to fire rubber balls at each other. Each Tank was outfitted with a few sensors that would cause the gun to disable or the tank to diable for a few seconds when hit. And the people waiting in line we're able to shoot at the tanks too, and had a sensor that caused their guns to disable. An overall score was offered at the end of the 5 minute match.
It was a helluvalot of fun!
