Editing Brass Eagle (section)

== Paintball markers ==

Brass Eagle produced a wide range of pump-action, mechanical semi-automatic and electronic paintball markers.

The [[VintageRex]] historical database contains 30 catalogue entries under Brass Eagle, including model variants and special configurations.[11]

=== Early markers ===

The original Canadian company produced several markers during the 1980s and early 1990s.

These included:

* [[Brass Eagle Nightmare|Nightmare LB]]
* [[Brass Eagle Nightmare|Nightmare LB Comp]]
* [[Brass Eagle Nightmare|Nightmare SB]]
* [[Brass Eagle Nightmare|Nightmare SB Comp]]
* [[Brass Eagle Ninja Nightmare|Ninja Nightmare]]
* [[Brass Eagle Mini II|Mini II]]
* [[Brass Eagle Cobra|Cobra]]
* [[Brass Eagle Cobra JR|Cobra JR]]
* [[Brass Eagle King Cobra|King Cobra]]
* [[Brass Eagle Eagle|Eagle]]
* [[Brass Eagle Golden Eagle|Golden Eagle]]
* [[Brass Eagle Barracuda|Barracuda]]
* [[Brass Eagle Jaguar|Jaguar]]
* [[Brass Eagle Poison|Poison]]

These products covered several different operating systems and configurations. The Nightmare and Cobra families were associated primarily with the company's pump-action equipment, while the Golden Eagle and Poison were semi-automatic designs.[2][11]

=== Stingray and Raptor series ===

The Stingray became one of the company's principal recreational marker families.

Its models included:

* [[Brass Eagle Stingray|Stingray I]]
* [[Brass Eagle Stingray II|Stingray II]]
* [[Brass Eagle Stingray II Lazerball|Stingray II Lazerball]]

The [[Brass Eagle Raptor|Raptor]] was another mechanical semi-automatic marker developed during the 1990s.

The Raptor used a stacked-tube blowback arrangement rather than the Stingray's original inline design.[8][11]

=== Rainmaker ===

The [[Brass Eagle Rainmaker|Rainmaker]] was an electronically operated semi-automatic marker introduced during the late 1990s.

Unlike the company's simpler recreational markers, the Rainmaker featured an electronically controlled firing system and was marketed towards more experienced players.

Brass Eagle's 1999 annual report identified the Rainmaker among the company's principal semi-automatic products and recorded the company's ownership of a United States patent associated with its design.[3]

=== Recreational marker range ===

During the late 1990s and 2000s, Brass Eagle expanded its range of low-cost recreational markers.

Models documented by VintageRex include:

* [[Brass Eagle Talon|Talon]]
* [[Brass Eagle Tiger Shark|Tiger Shark]]
* [[Brass Eagle Blade|Blade]]
* [[Brass Eagle Blade 02|Blade 02]]
* [[Brass Eagle Saber|Saber]]
* [[Brass Eagle Saber Twin Turbo|Saber Twin Turbo]]
* [[Brass Eagle Samurai|Samurai]]
* [[Brass Eagle Avenger|Avenger]]
* [[Brass Eagle Marauder|Marauder]]
* [[Brass Eagle Liberator|Liberator]]
* [[Brass Eagle Afterburner|Afterburner]]

The Talon, Blade, Saber and Tiger Shark were among the company's pump-action recreational markers.

Brass Eagle also marketed semi-automatic models, including the Avenger, Marauder and Liberator.

The manufacturer's 1999 annual report documented the introduction of the Blade and Saber and its plans to introduce the Samurai during 2000.[3][11]
