So I just got my C3.  First on the block.  Crappy pictures courtesy of my camera.  Better pictures/video/review will follow.

First thoughts - this thing is so cool.  Makes a little buzzing noise when you pull the trigger, kind of like your grill auto-lighter...  :)

The feedneck is REALLY far back - almost like an Alien.  When they get the semi figured out, this thing will be really short.

Anyway, there it is:

 

Anybody who plays at BFG should stop by - I'll be there sometime soon with my C3, getting killed by the faster guns but looking cool dying.

1) What is the seriel # for the one you got, must be pretty low, and

2) Can I get a pic of you holding it with your hand in it? It looks kinda top-heavy and large...

Awesome.  I've been wondering who'd have the first one on the forum. And how does the stock barrel shoot? Just wondering for future reference.

I want a pump so badly. I'm either going to pump my cocker or sell it and get something else. With these being so damn efficient, i'm leaning towards it. It looks hot.

Serial number 00386.  Feels very comfortable in the hand, but haven't tried it with tank/hopper yet.

The barrel is integral (as far as I can tell), and doesn't come off.  It is not metal, but some kind of composite.  The whole thing is VERY light, particularly given its apparent bulk.  Given how light propane tanks are (the small ones), this thing will be easy on the arms to carry around.

I don't know how the bolt works - or anything else for that matter - as I haven't opened it up yet.  And I won't until I at least shoot it.  But I will post internal pictures as well.

I buy all my propane and propane accessories from Strickland Propane.
