Editing Pump paintball (section)

=== Development of pump markers ===

During the mid-to-late 1980s, several manufacturers introduced pump markers that became associated with recreational and tournament paintball.

[[Worr Game Products]], established by [[Bud Orr]], developed the [[WGP Sniper]], which subsequently provided the mechanical basis for the semiautomatic [[Autococker]].

[[Component Concepts Inc.]] (CCI) began developing a pump-action paintball marker in 1986 and introduced the [[CCI Phantom]] in 1987.

The Phantom became available in several configurations, including stock-class versions using horizontal feed tubes and 12-gram CO2 cartridges, and open-class configurations using bulk gas systems and conventional loaders.[3]

Other historical pump marker designs included the Line SI Bushmaster, Sheridan PGP and PMI pump series.
