Editing Brass Eagle (section)

=== Canadian origins ===

Brass Eagle was founded in Canada by Aldo Perrone in the mid-1980s.

The original business operated from the Toronto area of Ontario and manufactured paintball markers for the growing recreational and tournament markets.

Its early products included the Nightmare, Cobra, King Cobra, Ninja Nightmare and Golden Eagle.

Unlike the later Brass Eagle brand, which became associated primarily with inexpensive recreational equipment, the original Canadian company manufactured a varied range of markers, including models intended for competitive players.

Perrone was also involved in the development of the Stingray, which became one of the company's best-known products.[1][2]
