My Tippmann C-3 + How it works animation

stock markers. YAY!!

Now that that over, we have all seen stock C-3's, we dont need to see your C-3 with a revvy on it. Do something custom with it and then come back.

paint job, custom pump handle...just a couple of ideas

put a spark plug inside the chamber and soak your paintballs in gasoline so when the ball comes out its on fire.. and who wants to get hit with a fire ball... not i

paint it with duracoat...they make a paint that can withstand the temperatures of a hot barrel of a real gun, up to 1200 degrees i think.

Now that's just fun to say!

In a similar vein, we had a squirrel in our office yesterday.  Don't know how it got in, but we could have saved 15 minutes of running around with 1 well-placed fireball.

i still havent shot one yet

Meh, I actually gave up on my C-3... It finally broke paint in the gun.... wow... you need atleast an hour to get everything in the right position after cleaning it.. and the way it's designed, if you break a ball, it squirts through the entire barrel and the BOLT is INSIDE the barrel.. so no matter what squeegee you use, you can NOT get your gun clean w\o taking it apart... which is such a hassle.. I'm actually sending my C-3 BACK to D*cks sporting goods and I'm going to spend half of the refund on some visual mods for my A-5, the rest I'll just add to my bank account... until they fix the design of the bolt\barrel.. I am staying away from the C-3.. It fired accurate and all that.. but once you get a chop, it's game over. No easy stripping here.

get a grav hopper or better yet, a feed tube, paint it with krylon grill paint that is resistant to heat, make an 8-ball pump handle, and get new grips

because you had to strip it once,  man you must be soo adhd

..........you have never dealt with a C-3, that's quite obvious. If you CHOP on the field, you are DONE. To take the barrel off you basically have to loosen all the screws, this also allows the trigger spring to fly out, and the pins that hold the trigger in. The barrel and bolt are 2 in 1... that means the BOLT is inside the BARREL, so no matter what squeegee you use, your bolt is still soaked in paint so even after you squeegee, the paint inside the bolt still catches fire so it requires you to strip it.. man atleast use the gun before you try to say anything.
