Yeah, I saw the pics, and honestly the gun doesn't do much for me. The idea is a really good one though.

Well, I heard that it gets hot after a while, which might explain why it's just a pump. I mean, if you shot 15 bps, it might get hot really fast, and I guess it could break the gun.

Yeah, that guys got a point about over heating...
Hey engines don't over heat, maybe they should put in some crazy cooling system...

i dont think you fill the tanks, you just buy new cylinders when they become empty.
im pretty sure they use the cylinders that the propane torches use (judging by the pictures)

Are you able to change the barrel on it?
I haven't EVER seen a pump with a good barrel on it.

stop with thease stupid questions. Im not a know it all or anything but some one said will the tank overheat. Propane is not a hot gas so now the tank wont overheat, and u dont buy a new tank u refil it. U dont need a new barrel on it because it is pump so it has closed bolt accuracy. and they have already done everything with safety so no u cant shoot flames out of ure barrel

ok, off the phantom...
now, im sure that people will equip like autococker pneumatics on it in some way to make it semi auto. the problem with semiauto is probably: 1. overheats way too fast. 2. you prolly get some shootdown at higher rates of fire

imo the only thing wrong with the c-3 is all of the warnings. if u crunch all the numbers the gun pays off in the long run. i just think the whole buying a 16 oz propane tank using it and throwing it away thing is great.

Nope, you use it and throw it away.

Wrong. Internal combustion chamber. No propane exits the barrel. Semi-Auto would overheat the chamber.
