I happen to be a fan of simulated war-games like paintball or my current favorite Airsoft.  I’m not sure I’d want to participate in a battle against this monster though.  This 17 tonne FV432 armoured personnel carrier has been specially modified to fire 40 mm paintball rounds at anyone who happens to get in your way.  Residing in Lutterworth, Leicestershire, the paintball tank is available for rent and comes with an onboard instructor,  radio headsets, kevlar helmets, tank suits and gloves.  Apparently it only costs £ 74.

This thing looks like a lot of fun! The WEGO KITE TUBE is an inflatable 10 foot diameter flying tube that can be towed behind a boat. While riding on the waves, it can become airbourn and fly like a kite under the rider’s control. At $600 it’s not cheap, but you can pick it up here.
