No you cant use it in a A5. Nor can it be converted

Welcome! As a new member be aware that the "search" button at the top of the page works very well. Do a search with the subject C-3, and C3. You will find maybe a couple of dozen threads about the C-3. And at least one of them shows views of a disassembled C-3. It is an entirely different design. It mixes propane and air in the correct stoichiometric ration to "explode" and propel the ball down the barrel. There is a spark plug and an ignition system to ignite the mixture. And the size of it all fits in an area about twice the space available in the A-5 housing. |

| Defiantly not. The only gun right now that uses propane is the C-3. Although there are umors of a semi version of the C-3 in the making. |

You could technically make a propane A5, If you wanted to rip out all of the internals, Replace them with mainly C3 parts, heavily modifed the recievers, made it a pump and replaced the ASA, Plus no cyclone unless you used a spring type F/A style cyclone thing.. -------------

A nicer option would be if it just compressed outside air and shot
that. And also had a paint magnet in the hopper so that if your paint
misses the target it would curve around and go back into your hopper to
be shot again. This is all copyrighted of course. Dont try to steal my millions. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e127/cadet_sergeant/tippC-3.jpg - http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e127/cadet_sergeant/tippC- 3.jpg (C-3) http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e127/cadet_sergeant/tippC-3.jpg - http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e127/cadet_sergeant/tippC- 3.jpg (A-5) you'll notice that on the C-3 there is a huge chamber, thats where the combustion takes place. that pushs a valve back and it goes up into and behind the ball (right behind the feed tube) the combustion pushs the ball. the A-5 would take a lot of modification to run off propane, and quite frankly it wouldnt be worth it IMO. |
