Why is the Tippmann C3 so big?

[iambored]

^don't joke like that, it gives the C3 a bad name, while it's nott a great gun, it is safe. It's safer then the 4500 psi bombs that most people carry around. Every think of the energy stored in one of those?

I didn't say it, it was a review for it on anythingxtreme for the c3

[Desega]

I have a friend that plays with a c3 and other than the barrel getting a little toasty he's never had any issues.

I've never known you to joke, at least not without a smiley, so I'm going to assume you're serious...

That's so cool!

He's dead serious on this one.

just got to lazy to keep reading down the posts so idk if this was already said but

also remember propane is like 450ish psi when full but as the tank gets emptyer the psi will obviously drop. i assume the main resivoir is like 20 psi of propane (just because of the density it has to be mixed at to combust propperly ) so to get all the shots off of that tank it has to be reged down.

best way to under stand it is to take a lighter and do the fire ball in the hand thing and you see how much force you can sence from it. so you need to put much more gas and keep it under pressure to get force out of it



now idk if that made much sence but it helped me think it through

LPG
Liquid propane gas.

That was my old animation. Wasn't finished then. I did a while ago though, when I received my C3. I then promptly tore the sucker apart and diagnosed how everything worked. Result...





It's an overall really ingenious design. But being the first production I see it easily being able to be tweeked, scaled down, eventually made semi even. Maybe slow semi to start, like 6bps. But it would afterall be a start.


But yes. It does shoot paintballs via ignited propane. And yes there is a small blue flame that comes out the barrel that can be seen with the lights out. Oh, and yes, it is as loud as a shotgun.

Propane pumps could take off.

but it's made by tippmann.

I woulden't be surprised if the next version comes compleate with rails, magazines, and a cyclone while using the same exact internals parts.

[Coralis]

I believe the reason given for not making a semi was due to heat build up concerns. My thinking on the matter to increase the bps of the marker would require materials better able to disapate heat than what is commonly used in paintball markers today.

[Ydna]

Yes.

But don't tell it to the Tipp sales reps, the like to deny it.

hurray for a $600 pump marker!!

[hs2000]

^ he was saying those things would be needed on a semi model.

And the CCM's S6 is almost $600.

In other words, your post was lame.

[SR_matt]

^^ dont be rude, it could be taken either way becasue it was about the ways to disapate heat
