Why is the Tippmann C3 so big?

[VFX_Fenix]

It doesn't look like anyone's come up with this one yet, but it came to me while I was recalling the days of making Spud Guns.

The reason the combustion chamber is so big is to have the propper ratio between the barrel and the combustion chamber. This seems to be combined with a reusable burst diaphram to achieve higher efficiency/muzzle velocity.

The thing's a mini sized Propane spud gun.

fine 1K pump marker.
are you happy now?

No.

A duck can run you as much as $2,500. Most expensive one I've seen at least.


And yes. Once dissipation of heat is worked out semi is the next logical step.
