It's a good gun, especially if you cant get fills.

Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good.

It's a good gun if you can't get fills? Uh, anyway you can basically get tanks for it at **edited**s Sporting Goods, Sports Authority, or even REI and Walmart. It runs on normal Propane and a regular tank normally from what I hear lasts you about a thousand shots. So.. that's one of the best things about it, you don't have to constantly refill. It's supposed to be quite accurate I think it's up there with the famous Phantom Pump Marker. Don't know much else about it since normally on a field it can be annoying to have to pump before each shot

Why pay that much for a pump? Get you a good 98 Custom Pro with E trigger for that kind of money.

Well, then have you done a search here on the forums? There is more past C-3 stuff than just about any other topic.

I think he meant when you cannot get fills for CO2 or HPA...the C-3 has a definite advantage since one cylinder lasts 50,000 shots and fresh tanks are available at any hardware or outdoor supply store...and every 24 hour Walgreen, Rite Aid or WalMart in the country.

A friend of mine actually counted every shot he could get out of it. It was right around 50, 000 off an average sized tank. Its insane, but true.

Ive heard of some velocity problems, and some mixture issues. The mixture issues can be easily remedied though. I dont personaly own one, but I would definatly like to get one, when the price goes down.

From my understanding they are in develupment of a simi auto vershion to possibaly be releaced this fall/winter.... I work with several stores in the area and some of the c -3 that were first orderd when they were releaced are still on the shelfs i think only sold like 1 in total so far ..... not so popular....(around here).....lol
