Nope, the one on takealot is the standard version, the gas bottle connects to the bottom of the handle/grip.
The standard version does not have the m-lok rail and air thru stock features.

The Tippmann elite is a great option as a non lethal self defence weapon, i have one with pepper and nylon balls in the magazine. At 300 odd feet per second its gonna stop any intruder.

Having been in the unfortunate situation where 2 motivated individuals came for a midnight visit I can assure you it did nothing more than piss them off.

A paintball marker is better than nothing but it still remains nothing more than a toy.

If you want to defend the life of yours and your loved ones you should look at nothing less than a 9mm and lots of training.

Except those guys that were on bath salts and it took the police to shoot them until they had a fatal shot.
Except those guys that are high on other drugs and not aware of the pain due to the drugs.
Except those guys that are high on adrenaline, like when I went to paintball and got shot in the neck, bleeding. Didn't feel it.
Except the guys that wear a thick jacket.

The only thing you're doing when using a paintball marker against an armed intruder, is giving them a legal defence for shooting you and getting off scott-free.

The only marker you should be using against these guys are, ummm, permanent markers.

Unfortunately this is the only way...Its a pain in the ass...it costs a fair bit of money...takes a lot of time....Makes you go crazy waiting and dealing with SAPS....But you CANNOT bring a paintball gun/pepper ball gun to a REAL gunfight and expect not to end up dead...Sadly most of the things that are out there to rob, rape and murder you have REAL guns....Don't take that chance...

To all those who dont have a gun, make it your mission this year to get your competency...buy a gun and apply for a licence...I was also pretty negative about the whole thing but it has to be done.
 
I agree with these guys above. Don't think you can buy a pepper marker as a method of home protection. Rather have nothing. Get at least a 9mm

Just finished my initial training / competency with hand guns, prac / legal work is straight forward and you can easily do it in a week or 2.

Now comes the wait for the police to move the documents 5 meters in 1 year.

Be patient...try and forget about the gun and the process/application for a while...
PITA but there seems to be nothing else we can do...
 
Had an incident the other morning 3/2/2020 at 1,10 AM .
GF wakes me up saying loud sounds coming from the lounge area , i switch on the monitor in my room to see WTF is happening ( i have decent CCTV system with mostly 4Meg and above cameras x 12) i see this shyt for brains climbing in the lounge window and coming in the place and the alarm sounds , rush to the safe grab the trusty 357 Smith and torch and i am going to sort the guy out , i arrive as he is exiting the same window he got in , i have the option to kill him but i do not do that because the consequences are to severe and let him go ( did not want to tussle with him) .
The frustration with this whole saga is i wanted to hurt the guy but not with the FA , the plan for the future is arrive with the paint ball marker and the 357 with a torch on the head and issue some serious pain with the marker .I have dealt with a couple of intruders in my yard with the marker from inside my house , it is satisfying and effective .
Watching an intruder running away Scot free is frustrating .

Exactly, and the military grade pepper balls are VERY 'unfriendly' to, so for me having the marker with solids and pepper balls in is a definite step up from throwing my tekkies at the guy...

the pepper is compressed powder based not liquid spray based, also stronger than standard pepper spray.
