Thinking of buying a c3

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hey. I was thinking of buying a Tippmann c3, but I was doing some research and heard some horror stories of people whose guns had problems like messed up ignition, the pumping mechanism not working, and other things that got me worried. Would anyone know how common this stuff is? I know that it's probably rare but I don't want to spend 230 dollars on a unreliable prouct.

I had also heard something about a bolt in the barrel? can anyone explain that a bit for me?

I also can get co2, but it's really inconvenient for me to get a hold of.

Lastly, can anyone tell me how much plastic is on the c3? and what quality it is.

thanks.

	It only runs on propane, he knew that and was just saying that he "could" get co2 for a different gun but propane would be easier. To make this quick: The c3 is high quality, and should do you fine.
