Tippmann C3

Hooray for oxymorons... 

We had to use the halo because it was the only thing which could feed reliably; the stock hopper kept jamming and it wasn't even full of paint   lol big smiley

Man that gun could save so much money. Imagine a propane powered semi-auto. No need for the super expensive air tanks.

I don't think it would get that hot. I think a simple gun would be cool. Semi-Auto with no ability to go full auto. It would make a great gun.

This post is so chuck full on Misinformation.

    The C-3 will not explode if you fire faster than 4 balls for second. It just will get warmer. There is no "E-grip" for the C-3. While the C-3 uses a 9 volt battery to ignite a small amount of propane to propel a paintball.

    I dont know what 'snaping' means. If you mean Snap Shooting it really doesnt mater how big a gun a marker you use. I have seen people snap shoot with Brick Huge old School Shockers.

    Please while we value opinions. We dont value gross Misinformation. Next time make sure that before you hit the Reply button. You take the time to throw in some facts or state 'in my opinion'.

You're right about the warming up; it gets really warm on the right hand side.
And fyi it uses 1 triple A battery to ignite it; not a 9 volt :)

Before some C3 debate starts and the thread get locked, I wasn't saying they could or will make it semi-auto, was just stating how it would be cool if you could have a semi-auto gun that can run on such a cheap/long lasting fuel.

I'd rather not need batteries in my pump, that and flammable gases plus people with the average iq of pbnation and well a certian portion of the population here, don't seem to be the best mix imho
