I apologize for my outburst - it was uncalled for. But I do stand by the substance of my comment. Tippmann has done significant research on this - all of the safety comments that have been raised have been raised in ignorance. Not ignorance of propane, but ignorance of the intended application of propane to paintball. As OS pointed out, airsoft companies have been doing this years. CO2 has become a safety issue over the years, with valves coming off and other pressure concerns. Propane solves all of those problems in a single stroke. This will be MORE safe, not less safe. |

I just dont get the mindset of people that will run around with 4500psi HPA tanks yet call propane dangerous...

Using propane in this gun certainly seems safer than in a GBB airsoft. This gun actually burns it, therefore not discharging flameable gas. You won't have idiots, like someone trying to be a trick shot and shoot the flame out on a candle, miss, get frustrated, then get closer and fire full auto at the flame(can't say I ever did that with a GBB
)causing a flamethrower-like effect and burning the hair off his arms or worse. It seems like a safe system just for the fact that it burns the propane. But I'm still wondering how the RVA works.

Thanks for the apology, accepted. And, I would say, you're absolutely right in what you say about Tippmann doing their homework, otherwise they probably wouldn't be allowed to market the product. I guess, having built spudguns, done plumbing work and girlling with propane, I just have issues with safety as it pertains to kids and experimentation. I have seen propane spudguns blowup on people and have personally seen my wife singe her eyebrows However, point taken. Thanks. Edited by spudcrazy |

Unfortunately, I don't own one. I only wish I did, it would save my arm from swinging so much! Used one once before (not on my own project), and have watched them being used a couple times... in envy.

ShortyBP, if you decide to get a Pasload, don't. The new Dewalt battery power crown nailers and framing nailers are awesome. No hose like a conventional pnuematic and no fuel cell replacement. Just recharge the battery. I've used one and they're awesome...

Maybe we can add some woodchips and get a sweet hickory BBQ smell.

I'm a little upset that it's electronic but if I could cook with it too, that might make up for the need for batteries.

The gun work by combustion on one side of a piston, the piston compresses air in a chamber that fires the ball. Just like a nerf gun except it uses propane instead of a spring. The RVA simply changes the volume of the air chamber. |

This may be the dumbest dumb question. But 50,000 shots. Do you think they'll just make the tanks like 12grams? So companies can make money off the tanks.

here's my concern: as a future oldschooler, in about 5 years will this new technology take over the world? will other companies make these guns, slowly killing out all of the hpa or co2 guns we all now know and love? i forsee a future in which we will be forced to give up our beloved 98's, a-5's, even angels and autocockers/mags. What a bleak future i predict...
