I have just recently purchased a C-3 tippmann marker.. I have some questions that I thought I could get answered on the forums.
I was wondering if you need to take the battery out when the gun is NOT in use? And I was also wondering where I can get small cannisters of propane? I have only been able to find the 16 oz. at walmart. And I want to get something smaller. Does tippmann make anything like that? thanks in advance, bob |

i think the smallest is those ones that you screw on the nozzles for hand torches. the ones plumbers would use. and those are 16oz...right? im not sure. but that is the smallest i have seen. ------------- Setup: Tippmann Custom Pro E-trigger 12" All American BT Folding Stock GTA Inline Expansion Chamber Kit Dead on Pro seal Cyclone Feed System Remote Line Polished internals |

I know that at Home Depot I have seen two different shapes, though they were both ~16 oz. There was the squat camping style and the elongated propane torch style.

There are small propane cartridges used in portable nail guns. Last night I went looking on the web for a good picture of one. I really could not find a good picture, particular one that shows the style of nozzle. It appears that it would require some kind of adapter to use those gas nailer cartridges on the marker (an opportunity for an after market product?). -------------
