Propane-injected paintball gun


Propane-injected paintball gun
Marker-maker Tippmann has a the C-3 with PEP marker and it uses "Propane Enhanced Performance", in non-marketing terms this means it uses propane instead of CO2. The benefits of propane are that it will not freeze when you playing this winter, you will get about 50,000 shots out of your marker instead of the around 800 to 1000 from your CO2 16 oz. canister, and it will cost you less $ in the long run. Propane is cheaper than CO2 and on average it cost $250 a pop versus an $8 propane tank that you can buy at a local hardware or camping store. The new C-3 with PEP is going to set you back $229, but it pays for itself from not having to use CO2.
