Right, Snow.
It might never be seen at tournament level. The E-volt might make it someday, since its a different solution and a different problem (weight of batteys and shots per charge, and possibly size, rof, and weight of the gun).

When I first saw it a few months ago I thought "awesome, make it smaller and faster. It's on the edge of changing everything. Big air tanks could disappear without a loss of shots." I think I've calmed down to the point where it's just a cool toy. I'd get one and use it every now and then.

I oughta change my other post, but hell with it. If you have someone who takes it apart without knowing what they're doing...which is common in paintball...then I would worry about using it. I'd also worry about people working on their own high-pressure equipment, like fooling with a tank's valve or regulator.

Crusty, vapor pressure of propane is like 130-something PSI.
0 PSI is below atmospheric pressure...if you had that it would be a vacuum and air would rush into the tank when you shot.
