Okay, so I'm not a paintballer yet, but I'm very interested. So I was looking over some paintball guns, and C-3 caught my eye. One reason why I haven't really gotten into paintball yet is because of the price. So now I see my chance to play paintball farely cheaply.

Here are my questions:

1. Can you add any modifications to the C-3 such as a longer barrel, or flatline? (I don't like the looks of the C-3, I think it would look better with a longer barrel)

2. Are there any other propane-using, semi automatic (NOT PUMP) paintball guns out there, or being developed and may be released soon?

3. Do you recommend the C-3?

4. Is there a cheaper way to paintball besides the C-3? (But is still a pretty good gun?)

1.  I believe that the barrel that is on the c3 is the only barrel you can get for it know , not 100%.

2.  The C3 is the only gun that is powered by propane , i think Tippmann said a semi version is in the works.

3.  I would recomend the C3 if you dont have fill stations near you or you like to play in the woods with friends instead of at a field.

Do you know if they are going to be adding any mods soon?

what?? co2 is only 5 dollars? and does the c-3 actually burn you?

edit: wait i just looked up co2 cost, and it's like $20+. Am I missing something?

ah thanks. So how long do you think it'll take for them to make some mods? A year? A few months? Never?

by the way, can u fill co2 up at like home depot?

some walmarts fill c02

Where can you get propane that'll fit on a gun???  Also can you fit a scope on it... not that i'm "sniping", it's just way better to be able to find concealed people and pinpoint where they are. 

Also, does propane freeze up the gun like co2? 

Opinions from an owner...   The C-3 is pretty good for being the 1.0 version.  It takes some breaking in time though.  The only issue I have with it is that if I don’t fire enough, it will need a prime to start firing again. 

There aren’t any aftermarket items for the C-3 yet and I doubt there will be.  Pumps aren’t that popular for a manufacturer to shell out the money to start tooling on something that they won’t sell much of.  You’re gonna have to make your own modifications.  As for the heat generated by shooting it, it isn’t that much.  I can see a semi version in the future. A big plus is that a 16oz. tank of propane (cost $3-$5) will last 50,000 shots.  How often would you have to fill up your 16oz. Co2 tank to get 50,000 shots, about 40 or so? At $5 a fill, that’s around $200!  Hmmmmm… $5 vs. $200…..  Sounds good to me if you don’t have a place close that sells Co2.  And even if you do, that’s a ton of saved cash for other stuff.

I'm finally getting a chance to take my C-3 into the field tomorrow. The handful of times that I'fe monkeyed with it in the yard it always shot nice, it wasn't too hefty, it was pretty accurate, and it handles nice.

There are a few things, like the length of the pump stroke that a lot of hard-line pump players will complain about, but on the whole, I really like the thing, and can't wait to get it out and see what its capable of.

I'm like enos in the respect that I would love to see more people playing pump...theres way too many people out there that are more concerned with spraying paint all over the earth than anything else. Its annoying.
