My New C3 - NIB!

600 fps?that would be fun.  Hey, if your gun was starting to kick the bucket, and you really didnt like someone, you could give them your gun and 500 free painballs with a bit of gasoline on them!!(dont worry, Tippmann, i was joking)

 

hmmm its pretty tall i dont think i'd use a normal hopper (or even the small ones)... now a q-loader or something i might... yea its over kill but im thinkin' more about the size and profile.

 

now that i think about it i wish they would have made the gas line more like the one on the A-5, that way you could hook up a remote line, I've never seen a remote line that would go in the c3 the way it is now... but i dont know much about remote lines. also is there a reason its not vertfeed? the mod would be easy but can you think of a reason why they didnt do it in the first place? maybe to keep us thinking and occupied till they come out with something else... man i gotta get one of these and start tinkering with it... im probley going to kill myself doing it to lol

hey rambino with the ragulator removed is the bottom of the trigger flat? or like the A-5?

*edit*- after printing out the manuel it seems to me the feed wont hinder its proformance since a) its only firing at 4bps and b) there is a ball waiting while you shoot the ball in the barrel.

Guys, expanding propane itself is a coolant just like expanding CO2. Fact is that they make portable refrigerators that run off of tanks of propane. A shot of propane would cool almost as well as a shot of CO2.

so can the propane ignite from the chamber being to hot? or will every small burst of propane cool the chamber? will how long and how fast u do it make a diffrence? im just thinking that if you use this shooting 4bps (which is supposet to be the max) for a couple minutes that its possable for this thing to get a little to hot and have the propane explode prematurly, just about everyone (cant recall everysingle one) who has writin a review of this on pbreview has said that the chamber gets a little hot so im just wondering if it is possable. your thoughts?

you need to highlght it (click and drag your mouse down letters should turn blue)

The auto-ignition temperature - the minimum temperature required to ignite a gas or vapor in air without a spark or flame being present - for some common fuels can be found below:

yes it seems highly impossable that you could get it to that temp.

yes stealth from what i've read so far today is that it seems when propane is put into the chamber (30c in Az) that it will cool it down (but not more than it heats it up and thats why the chamber feels warm) and even if you shoot a full 16oz tank in 208.3 minutes (which i couldnt do and im sure no one here can) i dont think it could reach over 150 degrees.

i wonder if they can make the chamber longer and narrower, that will give the marker a lower profile (keep im mind i havent held one of these so im not 100% sure that making it longer will help it might just make it really long and not help it) maybe the chamber can be longer and be under the barrel (look kinda like this http://www.pbreview.com/pics/rebelvtl.jpg ) and i think tippmann droped the ball in the barrel and should have givin this A-5 threading

Theoretically, the gun could be modded to accept any flammable fuel, I guess.  Is nitrous flammable - I don't think it is... Nitrous OXIDE is flammable, but Im not sure about the kind that goes into a paintball gun.   Wow... your ignorance amazes me. Nitrous Oxide is NOT flammable. Thats what the dentist gives you when he fills cavities. Think he would be pouring dangerous vapors into your lungs? No. The only reason you think it is flammable is because of the Fast and the Furious movies. They use Nitrous in cars because it sends extra oxygen into the cylinders which causes them to allow more fuel and greater combustion, therefore greater power.

100% burnage... hes right i know alot about cars... nice

i to like the c3 but its not what im looking for right now...lol

Can you take one more picture of your C3, your hand, and Shaq's shoe. We need to see how big your hand is in relationship to Shaq's 22s and the shoe in relationship to the C3. How can we tell you don't have girly hands, you are wearing a dress shirt. If you can't find one of Shaq's shoe you could stand it up end to end next to an average size three year old, only if its average size though. If you have any doubts, look for the shoe. Can you also put a new sign that says "Poopy is Punk".
