WHAT!? sorry but no, the c3 is a huge inovation yes its getting the same thing done but so are fuel cell cars and hybrid cars, by your definition all plains trains and automobiels are not inovation, afterall they are just getting you from point a to point b and we had horses and boats did it before them. its not a matter of what its doing, if it is doing something new then it would be a new invention not an inovation, an inovation is a new idea to get the same thing done, quicker, more efficaintly, more accuratly perhaps. how can you say its not inovative? how many markers before it sparked and ignited gas to propell a paintball? how many markers got 50,000 shots per fill? no it didnt catch on but that is beside the point. nobody else has even though of trying something like this before and likewise nobody ever thought of combining an electric car and a gas car and yet there is one sitting in the garage at home every night

How is it not innovative?
1. It's more expensive than co2
2. it adds a significant amount of weight when paintball is about REMOVING weight
3. It's still using a compressed gas to propel the paintball, just igniting it first.
NOTHING innovative. If anything, it's a step in the WRONG direction, more expensive (co2 fills are included at MOST fields with your entrance fee) than co2 and heavier due to the extra parts. Of COURSE noone else thought of it. How many companies that are trying to improve paintball would get the idea: "hey, lets go use something that adds a bunch of weight to the marker, AND makes it more expensive to play with, yet doesn't actually give any true advantage!!". Well, other than Tippmann none that I'm aware of.
And a hybrid IS innovative (the battery part). You're not filling a tank with a liguid to propel the car. You're using batteries. Totally different concept from a liquid filled tank.
