first let me explain what the trigger on the c-3 is supposed to do, when you pull the trigger on the c-3 it sparks six times in about 1/2 of a second (to light the propane). so my idea is to hardwire the sparkplug to the trigger so that when you pulled the trigger it sparked continuosly at about 12 times a second that way you could just hold the trigger down and pump it over and over again. and maybe you could put a switch on it so that you could switch between constant sparking and six sparks per trigger pull. WARNING: the reason tippmann didnt make the c-3 semi-auto was because they were worried it would over heat, so if you try this watch the temp of your gun! ------------- ^^correct me if im wrong^^ search before you post!

| In fact, it may not even spark at all. I believe it has a step-up transformer on it somewhere that ups the voltage so that it will spark. |

maybe tippmann should just make an e-grip for the c-3 and it would have the switch i talked about earlier but if you held the trigger down it would spark 4-6 times a second  and it would have a low battery indecator ------------- ^^correct me if im wrong^^ search before you post!
