this has been brought up before, and do you really believe that a major company like tippmann would produce a product like that without extensive research? it doesnt make sense to produces something that would hurt its reputation and customers. also, every paintball gun is dangerous if misused. |

Could this happen?
You hold up lighter at the end of the barrel and dry shoot the gun. That would cause a pretty nice size fireball. I'm not sure how big. That fires follows the propne throughout the gun and ignites inside of the tank. Since the propane would be compressed it would cause an explosion. |

it doesnt put out any un burnt propane any way unless the ignition was broken and propane is hard to light with a small open flame

It wont blow up, and holding a lighter at the end when you shoot wont
do anything. The propane is already ignited inside the marker so its
not like your shooting flammable gasses.

not to mention, the amount of propane it uses is EXTREMELY SMALL. it has to be to get 50,000 shots on a 16 oz cylinder.

it's very dangerous. one blew up at the park down the road yesterday. many were injured...
come on, how would tippmann get approval to manufacture and sell a product that held great danger to it's users? |

agreed...i mean why would they release something that wasn't throughly tested and could result in a massive law suit? |

yup... tippmann engineers just strapped a spark plug and a propane tank to a gun and called it a day....
and if you hold a lighter to the end of the barrel the air that comes out would simply blow out the lighter... all the combustion is inside and it uses the expanding left over gasses which are inert to propel the ball. it's perfectly safe as long as you're not smoking a cigar while bashing the tank against a rock... |

under normal use i think it would fine but my gun has taken some major abuse that i would not think of trying with a gun with propane strapped to it
