Tippman C3

This new gun by tippmann is revolutionary in my opinion.

It falls under the category of firearm because it ignites gas to fire.

They were able to market it though so fields should allow it right?

Where did you read that it ignites gas to fire?

I just read that it ran off of propaine instead of co2 or HPA. I'm not being accusatory, just wondering.

It's safe and legal.

I'm really intrigued by this marker. It is not appealing to me at all, but it is definitely intriguing to say the least.

Ladies and gentlemen of the flught crew, One of your passengers has been out of paintball for quite some time and had no idea that this wasn't a new topic. Next time you feel like being sarcastic and elitist, please don't.

It has to ignite gas to fire.. think of how dangerous just spewing propane out would be!
The exaust is much safer. Plus it's more efficient than just using the gas would be.

Having that said I dont know much about this gun

You wouldn't be able to ingite the propane with a match, it'd blow it right out.
I hardly doubt it uses enough propane to do any damage anyway.

To Save Everyone Time...

I'm only posting here for the first time in forever to save all the potential posters a lot of time and argument on this topic. I have one, I played with it. It ignites propane to fire. It has a fuel injector that is actuated each time you pump it and a spark plug powered by a battery that makes bang bang happen. The propane is regulated at the ASA and fuel mix sometimes requires adjusting. You do smell an occassional whiff of propane when you fire it, and heavily when you "air" it up and "de-gas" it. The receiver heats up after several shots. It's safe. Whether a hit or a dud, Tippmann's legacy as a company unafraid to innovate and willingness to try to move paintball forward must be respected. Read my upcoming review in Paintball Games International.

According to the federal description of a firearm (uses explosive combustion to propel object) it is, but it is obviously not a firearm in all actuality.

Ingeniously worthless is what this contraption is. Great you get 50,000 shots of of your propane tank. But when is the last time you heard pump players complaining about air? From what I understand this method of firing is not usable for semi due to heat build up, so again I am left wondering......why?

IF YOU PUT A FLAME IN FRONT OF IT, IT WILL PROBABLY NOT DO ANYTHING SINCE THE PROPANE HAS ALREADY IGNITED IN THE CHAMBER LOL



...sorry I couldn't resist Seriously though, I'm pretty sure it should all be spent by the time anything leaves the barrel
