An hypothesis for a lighter, more efficient air system than HPA.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tippmann had a reciprocating setup (or at least partially operable semi) in a shop closet. Recocking then should just be a matter of a larger combustion chamber; but I agree, small engine maintenance and weight would not be practical.

Well yeah, it's possible but it gets much less practical to do everything. Honestly i would put a little 4 oz co2 tank on it, make it mech, and then make it into a cocker pretty much, that would be the easiest solution, however you could probably find a way to use more gas and make it cycle the marker, but it would be hard to get the thing to reciprocate, moving backward and getting the spent gas out might not be a problem, but getting air and more gas in would. It would be more trouble than it's worth i'm thinking.
