first let me explain what the trigger on the c-3 is supposed to do, when you pull the trigger on the c-3 it sparks six times in about 1/2 of a second
(to light the propane).
so my idea is to hardwire the sparkplug to the trigger so that when you pulled the trigger it sparked continuosly at about 12 times a second
that way you could just hold the trigger down and pump it over and over again.  and maybe you could put a switch on it so that you could switch between constant sparking and six sparks per trigger pull.

WARNING: the reason tippmann didnt make the c-3 semi-auto was because they were worried it would over heat, so if you try this watch the temp of your gun!

Um... if you hardwired it, wouldnt it just give one spark?

In fact, it may not even spark at all. I believe it has a step-up transformer on it somewhere that ups the voltage so that it will spark.

maybe tippmann should just make an e-grip for the c-3

and it would have the switch i talked about earlier

but if you held the trigger down it would spark 4-6 times a second

and it would have a low battery indecator
