 Hooray for oxymorons...  We had to use the halo because it was the only thing which could feed reliably; the stock hopper kept jamming and it wasn't even full of paint  lol big smiley------------- Insert Fail Here |

I was gonna ask about the Halo lol. There is a gravity fed hopper by Archon on ebay that is supposed to feed 11bps and is gravity fed. I like the C3 though. how well does it work? ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

| Man that gun could save so much money. Imagine a propane powered semi-auto. No need for the super expensive air tanks. |

| I don't think it would get that hot. I think a simple gun would be cool. Semi-Auto with no ability to go full auto. It would make a great gun. |

| anything over 4 balls per second and youll explode, so dont go and try to get a egrip to shoot 30 bps, because youll be 30 meters in every direction in secounds. its been attempted before, doesnt work out that well. plus, that looks huuuuge. i generally liked pumps that have decent tradoffs. like in most pumps, they might have less ammo and lack of speed, but they are much lighter, smaller and allow for easier snaping and movement, and eventually make you more accurate and a generally allrounded player. that is huge, slow, and doesnt look like its under 3 pounds. |

This post is so chuck full on Misinformation. The C-3 will not explode if you fire faster than 4 balls for second. It just will get warmer. There is no "E-grip" for the C-3. While the C-3 uses a 9 volt battery to ignite a small amount of propane to propel a paintball. I dont know what 'snaping' means. If you mean Snap Shooting it really doesnt mater how big a gun a marker you use. I have seen people snap shoot with Brick Huge old School Shockers. Please while we value opinions. We dont value gross Misinformation. Next time make sure that before you hit the Reply button. You take the time to throw in some facts or state 'in my opinion'. -------------

You're right about the warming up; it gets really warm on the right hand side. And fyi it uses 1 triple A battery to ignite it; not a 9 volt :) ------------- Insert Fail Here |

Meh...It's a C3. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

| Before some C3 debate starts and the thread get locked, I wasn't saying they could or will make it semi-auto, was just stating how it would be cool if you could have a semi-auto gun that can run on such a cheap/long lasting fuel. |

I'd rather not need batteries in my pump, that and flammable gases plus people with the average iq of pbnation and well a certian portion of the population here, don't seem to be the best mix imho ------------- Smart Parts, Stupid People...
