What about the bow paintball guns?

They run on 12 grams, require you to pull the string back (pump action lol), holds up to 10 - 15 rnds. I need to look them up, but I believe they fall in line with stock class and not modified class rules.

I can't wait to get my hands on a 13 ci tank.

And Mirad the bows dont require an external air source http://www.airowgun.com/paint.php

They don't use 12ies actualy (at least not the one I am thinking of), thats why you have to pull the string back. One of the guys here has one that only problem I see with it being "stock class" is that it doesn't use 12ies (no air source at all) and that at least on his the feed is a stick tube at a 45 degree angle.

it would be kind of the Paintball version of IROC.

so there is no leaning on a better pumper to compensate for lack of talent or heart.

over all winners get the profits donated to a charity of their choice in their name.

i think that would make for a really cool event; or part there of.
say one days play out of a 3 day event or something like that.

if cost becomes a big deal, make the even invitational or limit the number of entries.

in 2000 or 2001 I contacted Sheridan about getting support for a event I called the down your LCD for a PGP
very similar Idea to what you are talking about. I thought it would be great fun, unfortunately I never got a reply back from Sheridan.

I guess those are it. I just remember those Airow guns from the top of my ahead and I remember reading about adjusting pressure.

Still though, what a nice concept.

These days most people don't worry about how many you've got in the tube, it's more about having them in a tube in the first place.

Agreed... Though that tube may containing a "spring loading system", or the gun it self, may rely on an AT, or worse... PA.

So we need to specify the "no goes" once we state the obvious.
