What's Happening with Tippman's Propane Gun??

[AGD]

AO,

I am curious to hear how Tippman's fire burner is doing out there in the market. Are you seeing them on the field or in the stores?

Thanks!!

Actually, i saw one at one of the fields around here, but the guy didnt actaully shoot it. It looked and felt nice tohugh. Over on SCP and here some there were a few people who said they were pretty nice.

I;m sure someone can give a better explanation

"whats happening with tippmans CO2 gun" dont you mean propane gun? the CO2 guns are still alive and kicking if you wanted to know :)

[behemoth]

Yes, I'm sure Tom meant propane...

They're all over the web and magazines.

Havent made it to the stores, nor the feilds -- that i've seen.

Who knows

I saw another thread about a C3 owner complaining about the pump arm, I believe he modified it and made it shorter. Otherwise no complaints but haven't seen them out and about either.

from what iv heard through friends, the pumparm wears in after X number of shots and it becomes a real pleasure to shoot, mostly those on cold days.

Haven't seen them around here yet...then again I'm the only one who plays pump to speak of anyway.

No idea how they're doing, it seems like a good concept but has its drawbacks.

A couple of us on the Tippmann forum are still trying to figure out how to make it semi lol. I mocked up a paint image. There are still kinks to work out though. Think about it, a semi gun that can get 50k shots per tank. Perfect for scenario games? I think so...

A guy at a feild had one. It's really cool. Pretty accurate. We went one on one speedball, his C3 pump vs. my ghetto-fied Brute pump. He won (he has a couple years over me). He let me play a walk on game with it and it fires really nice. It's not as clunky as I thought.

Why do you ask? Just interested? Or are you plotting some sinister plan all us AO'ers will love?

if your talking about the legality of it, i personally spoke to 2 guys at the ATF. One was just a lawyer who couldnt answer me, the other was a firearm guy who explained "due to the composition, it is not federally considered a firearm but may be due to state standards"

they are all over stores and ebay


oh, now that we've got you stuck here...


will there be either a Shatnerball or "Celebration of Tom" game this year?

[SpitFire1299]

I saw one once.. I shot it too. It didnt seem like anything special.

i think working on getting a gun to get more shots off a 68/45 would be a better idea than a whole new system. However, its a great innovation.

Local sales have been beyond slow, maybe 3 have sold in my area that I heard of. I dont know that it has made the impact they had hoped for. Personally I believe if they had released an SLIII CO2 powered pump they would have sold a bunch.

I have not seen one on any of the fields that I go to. The local store still has the one that they got when they first came out and havent sold it yet.
I think its a flop around here.

havn't seen one in person other than the display at waynes world in december.
