So how good is that c-3 gun that uses propane. Is it fast and can I put a cyclone system on it. I hate using electronic hoppers and how much is propane?

Also...it's not a darn pump is it? It sorta looks it.

Yeah, it's a pump. Arent any upgrades at the moment for it.

Nothing wrong with pumps...they take a lot more skill than any other gun or type of play.

That's true but i just thought I could put a cyclone and flatline on it and it would be awesome...but I'm not sure if you can use propane to work a cyclone...lol

i'd imagine that it is very efficient, simply because it uses such a small amount of propane per shot...

well, the way it's set up, you don't lose anything by it being a pump.  It's not like you have to re-aim everytime you shoot...  you just fire slower, saving you money....

Well I understand I was just dissappointed you know? Pumps are okay but I thought it'd be nice to use this with a cyclone system or something nice and fast.

well, the c-3 is all about being economical...  being pump makes it cheaper to play, thus letting people play more often...  also, there is a rumor there is a semi automatic c-3 in the works... just be patiant...

I bought a c3 2 months ago.  It's a good pump, loud in the woods though. I do have to clean the spark plug assembly in it fairly often. 50,000 shots between tanks @ $3.00 a tank, so far have only shot around 2000 balls out of it. I think propane will prove itself to be a very good propellant in future markers.

Great. A propane (propain?) powered semi? Can you imagine how screwed you'd be if the sparkplug got fouled? LOL
