I am considering getting C3 PEP marker for practicing as well as for times when I don't feel like filling up air every half hour. Although I own the following guns:
A5 egrip, with apex barrel A5 RT, with flatline barrel Spyder pilot eye Spyder Pilot ACS Although, I have read a lot of reivews, both pro & against it, I was surprised not to find any article on this forum regarding this gun. I apologize if I have overlooked. I would appreciate an input regarding: Can it be used with a remote gas line? someone on a different forum mentioned that he intends to use apex barrel tip on his C3. I look forward to your input on this & any suggestion regarding this marker. |

Thx Sangreti for your reply. I haven't physically looked at the marker yet @ the store, therefore, I haven't had a chance to see what kind of threading it has. I guess, thats one more reason why it's not popular despite what Tippmann claims about the 50,000 ball shots per cannister.

I have never seen a remote setup for a C3, but it isn't physically impossible to make. You will probably need the right hose, some gas fittings, and a lathe. An apex tip is definitely an option, the only problem may be the heat from the barrel. -------------

Good thinking ssok, specially what you said about the heat with the Apex does make sense.
I guess, I will just get it & use it for practice purpose only. Unless it breaks down sooner, I assume it will pay itself off. In any case, the price will be the same as the amount I spent on balls monthly. Thanks both ssok & sangreti on your reply & suggestions... Cheers. |
