As for the C3 Critique:
The C3 was the most innovative marker produced in a long time most markers sold today are rehashes of old technology no matter how the anno looks or how many bps the manufacturers can squeeze out there are very few revolutionary ideas in paintball. Take a look at a Spyder today and then look at a VM68 the design may have been refined but it isn't anything new. Innovative doesn't always mean commercial success either and commercial success doesn't always go to the best ideas or most advanced technology. I'll give Tippmann props for daring to be different if more companies would be willing to take a risk who knows how much better markers could get? In the meantime I guess we'll have to settle for an Ego that is 1/3 of an ounce lighter than the last model.  |
Switching from co2 to propane as your propellant is not more innovative than the VS2...they switched fromworking on co2 to compressed air. Only co2 is EASIER to get refilled than propane. So the C3 was a failure. Or do you mean that it was a pump was innovative...the technology that's been used in paintball since before it was a sport? Definitely no "innovation" there. Nelson has them beat on the pump innovation by a good 30 years.
