=== Development of the Phantom ===

The Phantom became CCI's principal commercial product.

Its design retained the Nelson-style valve and mechanical pump operation while offering interchangeable components and feeding arrangements.

Players could configure the marker for stock-class operation using a horizontal feed tube and 12-gram CO₂ cartridge, or for open-class operation using a gravity-fed hopper and larger gas tank.

The marker was also available with different barrel lengths, grips, pump handles, air-source arrangements and anodised finishes.[1][6]

CCI continued manufacturing the Phantom throughout the 1990s and 2000s, with the original design remaining compatible with numerous replacement and upgrade components.
