It does vent the exhaust in your face when you cycle it. Here are some photos for a size comparison:

C-3 target practice - I paced of 45 feet in my yard to see how well the C-3 did on a target, then grabed the A-5:

I had to use an old hopper I have because it didn't come with one, I plan to get a smaller one.

It's a 17.4 oz tank, you can get smaller ones and different shaped ones.

I still love the camo on your A-5.

How bearable is the exhaust in your face?

Actually it exhausts in the front.

It's not that bad you just smell it when you shoot.

The hopper near the back lets me play it a little tighter. Longer barrel, shorter overall package.

how hard is it to pump the c3, do you think you could contend with semi autos

It's not that hard to pump, I still haven't "broken it in" yet. Contending with semi autos you have to remember it's the player not the marker. The only big disadvantage you would notice is when you have to shoot at a fast moving target.

Stock on the C-3 the barrel, velocity consistency, and efficiency have a stock A-5 outclassed. The hopper is less of a blind spot on the C-3 since it is at the rear. For a woods game I could make do with either. The only thing lacking is the rate of fire. In paintball at the end of the day rate of fire does make a big difference (until +15BPS then it's just wasteful).
