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.

your really going to criticize it for the size and weight when it was the first of its kind?! its not like the wright brothers built a 747 its taken decades to get where planes are same with cars or trains, anything that has been inovation did not start off better than what it eventually replaced. the first cars were by no means faster or more convienient than horses.
and how much was a co2 fill when painball first came around? or COURSE propane will be more expensive now, its a new concept and is not yet on the paintball market because nobody needs it, go look for a hydrogen fill to fill a fuel cell car, not only are there none anywhere close, where they are close its not going to be cheap. at least they are looking at the big picture whereas other companies are playing it safe and adding 1bps each year.
so your argument really doesnt make sence, your saying that a hybrid car is an inovation because it is using a different way to propel the car forward than what is commonly used but the c3 is NOT an inovation because it....well uses a different way to propel the ball out the barrel than what is commonly used
we are not looking at size/weight, those are improvements to a devise that is already around, we are looking at the basic function of the marker/car/whatever
