I personally think the best thing that drove most people to the C3 was the 50,000 shots you got from one tank. I would rather make one trip and get 50,000 shots then make many many more filling CO2 tanks even though it might be half the distance to get CO2.
As for 'bad innovation' doesnt this now mean that other companys can focus R&D else where rather than using it for researching propane tanks? Now the rest of the market can focus money elsewhere in finding good products. I believe any innovation is good innovation as long as you learn from it.
No way was the C3 going to make it big though. The body was enormous and people had worries abous using propane. Plus i beleive its right for the 98 upgrades to be sold as add ons, so many people have them its just easier for tippmann to sell them as add ons. I do agree though that a VS1 (same price as a 98 i beleive) is a much better choice and VS2s are also great for the money. Im not trying to say tippmanns are better, im just trying to defend them by saying that they do try, just that the 98 is falling behind. I say keep the 98 as the basic durable-as-hell gun and if your going to release a new gun give it a new name. Dont keep the old 98 name cause people might get confused and if your reinventing the beast give it a new name.
