Is this stock-class legal?

[markdem]

Gun pictured below is just an example. Im asking specifically about the feed

Im toying with a new gun design and im considering putting an up-side-down feed on it. Would people consider this feed stock-class legal? I still have to flip the gun over to make it feed so it should be ok, right?
Slim

[Axel]

Technically no by most definitions

[capitalpaintball]

its a single shot gun, that requires 2 separate actions to cock and load plus has to be rotated upside down. i think Slim will allow it. lol probably gets terrible efficiency off that 12gram, i mean oz

[markdem]

Toying with the idea of building a metal one that takes 800psi

Although i am curious if this exact gun would also be allowed

[Alexndl]

How many usable shot can you get from this "tank"

[markdem]

2 okay-ish shots

[Alexndl]

It's maybe not stock class (not powered by a single 12g) but its fun enough to bring it, at least for the last couple of games of the day when only a few of us still play.
But it's not stock class 2.0 and Slim would need to confirm if he allow it.

[JeeperCreeper]

Bring it either way, I need to experience this janky thing in person.

[Jonnydread]

Speaking from experience it is challenging to use, shoots well though.

[Painthappy]

Aw hell... I want to see this thing work!

[redsquirrel]

I don’t know what’s going on here, but I like it.

[Axel]

From the very beginning stock class rules have had carve-outs for guns like the Crosman 3357 that don't meet the technical definition with a horizontal feed tube but clearly don't provide any firepower advantage over the standard gun. Single shots don't technically meet the strict definition either, but there's no real controversy about using one in a stock game.


This contraption clearly meets the >spirit< of stock class, and I'd let you use it, although I think your tank's hydro certification has expired.

[cougar20th]

I see no issues with it. Not like you can shot to fast. Plus your a well known player at Slims.
But ultimately if you planning on using it at Slims games only he can make the final call.

That or bring it, use it then beg for forgiveness if someone complains.

[coyote]

Does it fit the"letter of the law"?
No.

Does it fit the "spirit of the law"
My subjective opinion is yes.

Paintball isn't so popular that we need to look for ways to keep other players out of the game. I would welcome that platform in any "stock class" game I participated in m

[cheapguitarscheapthrills]

If it's the one you used at "Junk class" you're good. There's no way you have a technical advantage when you've gotta pump it like a super soaker.

[DocsMachine]

Sorry, it's not field-legal: It has no trigger guard.



Doc.

[FredMnkyDad10]

Hahahaha you'll are freaking great. I so can see a janky game going.

[martix_agent]

Is that slide and ring in the back a pump handle to charge up the air tank? This is incredible. It's absolutely in the spirit of pump class.

[markdem]

Bicycle pump is up front. The keyring is for cocking the hammer

[Axel]

"Ref! Ref! He pumped it four times! That ***** is shooting hot!!"

[Axel]

Hahahaha you'll are freaking great. I so can see a janky game going.
